The Winnipeg Tax Centre, one of four tax centres available in Canada, collects and processes annual tax returns.
What is a CRA Tax Centre?
A CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) tax center is commissioned to collect and process income tax return documents from taxpayers. Tax centers receive tax slips, forms and claims, and process them on behalf of the agency. There are three tax centers in Canada, each serving a specific geographical area. These include:
Sudbury Tax Centre
Winnipeg Tax Centre
Jonquière Tax Centre
Mail your return to the center that is assigned to where you live. In addition to the three tax centres, tax service offices (TSOs) are distributed across Canadian provinces. TSOs are tasked with complex audits and operations that involve direct contact with taxpayers. They are often broken into branch offices for efficiency and better organization. However, no active tax service offices are found in the territories, so they rely on TSOs in the nearest provinces. TSOs are currently closed due to COVID-19.

Tax Services Offices (TSOs) are also found in Winnipeg. However, because of the ongoing situation with Covid-19, walk-in counter service isn’t available at Winnipeg tax services offices. Taxpayers can drop documentation at CRA drop box locations at these offices, but the ideal option is to complete form submission on the CRA’s web page.
