As fast as two-week processing for almost all returns
With T1Plus with EFILE, your clients’ returns are processed at an average time of two weeks, instead of six or more
by mail. Getting them their return faster is an easy way to make your client happy. And almost all returns can be
transmitted via EFILE — with one click, without even exiting Cantax. (Visit the CRA website for a list of
exemptions at www.efile.cra.gc.ca.)
Catch errors before the return is filed
By filing with EFILE instead of by mail, you take advantage of EFILE’s powerful diagnostics that can find more than 1,500 errors.
Combined with the diagnostics in Cantax T1Plus, this can save you a lot of effort.
Make sure nothing "falls through the cracks"
Cantax T1Plus monitors EFILE return status so you can keep track of returns, generate reports and manage your workflow.
Transmit one or dozens of returns at once, whichever suits your business
There are 3 ways to transmit to the CRA from Cantax:
EFILE Online
File 1 return at a time, and get instant acknowledgement.
|
EFILE Online Plus
Transmit up to 30 returns at a time and receive acknowledgements in a few hours. If you prepare a large number of returns,
imagine the time (and paper, and envelopes, and stamps) you’ll save.
|
Cantax Transmission Service
The most efficient if you prepare a large volume of returns. File up to 30 returns at once, and get instant acknowledgement.
You can also file when the CRA websites are unavailable. Plus, file integrity is verified during transmission and you get a
summary of transmissions for your records.

What do you need to do to use EFILE?
Simply register with the CRA. There is no fee but application can take 30 days.
Then, you need to use CRA-certified compliance software such as Cantax T1Plus with EFILE.
EFILE and SEND support
As a discounter, you issue refunds in advance, minus your compensation, and then collect the refund from the CRA - so unknown debts
on a taxpayer’s file are a big risk to your business. The System for Electronic Notification of Debt (SEND) informs discounters
immediately of any outstanding debts that will affect the amount of the return. Cantax T1Plus has SEND support that
allows you to make SEND requests to the CRA via the Internet, giving you important information that will help protect you from
financial losses.
