Federal Court quashes CRA’s sweeping request for Shopify data
E-commerce company Shopify won its court battle against the Canada Revenue Agency, which had demanded access to merchants’ earnings data en masse to verify compliance with Canadian tax obligations.
E-commerce company Shopify has won its Federal Court battle against the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), which had demanded access to merchants’ earnings data en masse to verify compliance with Canadian tax obligations.
The CRA’s sweeping request for six years’ worth of data on Canadian merchants first emerged in 2023, after a judge authorized the agency to receive the information within 60 days of the court order. Shopify refused to comply.
