The CRA went on to reveal that it is now offering RSS feeds for certain streams of information, making it easier for Canadians to receive the most up-to-date information.

Some of CRA's popular “Tax Tips” are offered as audiocasts. Visitors to the CRA Web site can listen to tax tips instead of reading them, or download them to an MP3 player and listen later. The audiocasts are available in Punjabi, Mandarin and Italian, in addition to English and French.

The CRA has stressed that it has always made every effort to accommodate taxpayers whose language of common usage is not one of Canada's official languages, and earlier this year, it launched a national advertising campaign to alert Canadians to new tax measures introduced by the Government of Canada in 2006 and 2007

During this year's tax filing season, the CRA is also piloting a multilingual media relations spokesperson project to work with Canada's ethnic media outlets.

CRA representatives will be available for interviews in multiple languages to answer questions about tax filing.

The CRA Web site also features a videocast to highlight this year's new tax relief measures, and other reminders for Canadians about how and when to file their tax returns, the CRA explained this week.
