Webinar Services

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requires professional services for the planning, preparation, production, and delivery of webinars, as well as for the production of video conversions from these same webinars. The CRA develops, maintains, and updates national information services and products that assist individuals, businesses and charities in voluntarily complying with federal, provincial, and territorial tax legislation, and in receiving credit and benefit entitlements. The CRA delivers the information to taxpayers to assist them in meeting their obligations and obtaining the benefits to which they may be entitled. The CRA delivers information in person and electronically. In 2009, the CRA introduced the use of webinars as another communication medium to deliver tax information to taxpayers. Due to the success of these sessions, the CRA expanded the use of webinars. The CRA is now in the process of developing an Agency-wide procurement vehicle to enable it to contract for the production of webinars and video conversions of these webinars.
