Canada Revenue Agency

Definition


Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) – In the context of Canadian personal and business insurance, the federal body that administers taxation rules dictating how insurance premiums, benefits and claims are taxed or sheltered. It decides whether life-insurance premiums are deductible, if death-benefit proceeds are taxable to the estate or beneficiary, how employer-paid health plans are treated, and the tax status of personal versus group long-term-disability benefits, thereby influencing plan design, pricing and reporting obligations for insurers, brokers and policyholders.
