Ottawa is expanding its automatic tax filing services to more than 500,000 lower-income Canadians as part of a nationwide pilot program it launched earlier this year.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) invited more than half a million eligible Canadians in July to submit their 2023 tax returns by phone, online, or by mail using SimpleFile services, the agency said in a press release.
