Important Update for Alberta Businesses: TRA is Moving to Online Mail

Beginning April 1, 2026, Alberta’s Tax and Revenue Administration (TRA) will transition to online mail as the default method for delivering most correspondence related to Corporate Income Tax (CIT) accounts.

This change means that most correspondence, including notices of assessments, reassessments, and statements of accounts, will be sent electronically through the Tax and Revenue Administration Client Self-Service (TRACS) system, instead of by mail.

Who This Change Affects

This transition to online mail will apply to the following businesses:

• New corporations incorporated on or after April 1, 2026.
• Existing corporations that already have a TRACS account.
• Corporations that use a third-party organization (TPO), such as an accounting firm or bookkeeper, to manage their TRACS account on their behalf.

Existing corporations that do not have access to a TRACS account will continue to receive their correspondence by paper mail.

What You Need to Do

• Ensure the email address is up to date in your TRACS account.
• Sign up for a TRACS account if you don’t already have one.
• Subscribe to receive updates from TRA.

If you want to continue receiving paper mail for notices of assessments and reassessments, you must complete a request form and re-request it every two years.
