Notice of assessment
The notice of assessment (NOA) gives you a summary of your tax and benefit assessment and explains any changes made to your return. It also tells you if you have a refund, a zero balance or a balance owing. It gives you other important information such as your unused registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) contributions, your RRSP deduction limit, your first home savings account (FHSA) participation room, your Canada training credit limit (CTCL) and other amounts and balances that you may want to carry forward to a future year.
You will receive your NOA after the CRA processes your return. For more information about your NOA, go to canada.ca/cra-notices-letters.
Express NOA
Express NOA allows individuals and authorized representatives to view the NOA in EFILE or NETFILE-certified tax software, or using My Account right after the CRA has received and processed the return. For more information, go to canada.ca/express-noa.
