The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) wishes to inform financial institutions and businesses of the possible circulation of fraudulent cheques for the GST/HST credit for individuals. This information is intended solely for financial institutions and businesses cashing cheques and should not be distributed further.
The CRA and its partners will continue to monitor for any indications that fraudulent cheques are in circulation and advise accordingly.
Please remember
There are security features on Government of Canada cheques to verify they are valid and not counterfeit. More information on these security features is available on the Message to businesses – Security features on Government of Canada cheques page.
