Changes to CRA’s Voluntary Disclosure Program for GST/HST and other taxes
On September 10, 2025, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) announced changes to its voluntary disclosures program (VDP) that will apply with respect to VDP applications that are submitted after September 30, 2025. It is expected that these changes will encourage more taxpayers to come forward under the VDP to rectify their past errors. The program that applies until September 30, 2025 has been criticized for being too restrictive, and many businesses, especially large businesses, have been reluctant to make a disclosure under the VDP.
