Updated Checked by the Tax-Services.ca editorial team How we check
The CRA does list Surrey addresses on its Find an address page, but they are for specific forms, not for your ordinary tax return. All of them sit at the same King George Boulevard site: a P.O. box for mail and a street address for certified mail. We assumed CRA Surrey means the Canada Revenue Agency in Surrey, BC.
What does the CRA list for Surrey?
On the CRA’s list of tax services offices and tax centres, the Surrey entries belong to the International Waivers Centre of Expertise, the Pacific International Waivers Centre of Expertise and the Section 116 Centre of Expertise. Mail goes to Post Office Box 470, Station Main, Surrey BC V3T 5B7. Certified or registered mail goes to 9755 King George Boulevard, Surrey BC V3T 5E1, with a section number that depends on the form.
That page doesn’t say you can visit either address in person. It also says nothing about your own return going there, so follow the instructions printed on the form you’re actually filing, because a street address you found online isn’t a substitute for them.
For most questions, the better route is the phone or My Account. The CRA’s contact page gives 1-800-959-8281 for personal taxes and benefits questions, open Monday to Friday, 8 am to 8 pm Eastern. That’s 5 am to 5 pm on the BC coast, so early risers have the edge. For phone options, online help and free tax clinics, see our page on the Canada Revenue Agency in Surrey.
What are BC’s tax rates for 2026?
If you live in Surrey, the tax you pay is federal plus British Columbia’s. The BC government’s personal income tax rates page shows these 2026 brackets.
| Taxable income | BC rate |
|---|---|
| Up to $50,363 | 5.6% |
| $50,363 to $100,728 | 7.7% |
| $100,728 to $115,648 | 10.5% |
| $115,648 to $140,430 | 12.29% |
| $140,430 to $190,405 | 14.7% |
| $190,405 to $265,545 | 16.8% |
| Over $265,545 | 20.5% |
The same page shows the 2025 lowest rate as 5.06%, so the bottom bracket rose. If a payroll table you’re looking at shows a different figure, check the date on it. For a fuller picture, see our British Columbia income tax page.
How much tax does a Surrey worker pay?
On a taxable income of $80,000 the engine behind our income tax calculator puts total federal and BC tax at $14,655. BC’s part is $4,362. It uses the basic personal amounts only, so your own return will differ.
At $150,000 the total is $38,433 in BC. Alberta comes out at $38,410, only $23 apart. That’s a good example of why you shouldn’t judge a province by its bracket table alone.
The marginal tax rate calculator shows what the next dollar you earn costs. And to see the pay left after CPP and EI, use the take-home pay calculator.
Is there a credit for lower incomes in BC?
Yes. BC’s tax reduction credit is $690 for 2026 (it was $575), according to the BC government’s page on basic tax credits. It starts to shrink at a net income of $25,570, by 3.56% of the excess, and it’s gone at $44,952. The basic personal amount in BC is $13,216.
Here’s what the shrinking looks like. Someone with a net income of $30,000 is $4,430 over the threshold, which trims 3.56% of that, about $158, leaving a credit of roughly $532. At $40,000 the excess is $14,430, the trim is about $514, and about $176 is left. Short version: it helps people on low pay and fades quickly after that.
The federal credits are separate. Our tax credits calculator covers the federal ones only, so BC’s credit isn’t in it. Add it by hand if your income is in that range.
Where should you send a return or a waiver form?
Not to Surrey, unless the form’s own instructions say so. Most people file online through certified tax software or My Account, and never address an envelope at all. If you’re filing a paper form of any kind, copy the address from the instructions printed on that form, not from a website that happens to list the Surrey P.O. box.
What could we not confirm?
We couldn’t find hours, walk-in rules or appointment details for any Surrey location on a CRA page. We don’t say what happens at those addresses beyond what the page lists. The dates for the next tax return haven’t been published on the pages we read either.
For last year’s return, the dates were April 30, 2026 for filing and paying. Self-employed people had until June 15, 2026 to file.
Where this information comes from
Addresses and the phone line are from the Canada Revenue Agency‘s “Find an address” and contact pages. BC rates, the basic personal amount and the tax reduction credit are from the Government of British Columbia’s website. The CRA address page and the BC rates and credits pages were re-read on 13 November 2026. The phone hours were not re-checked on the CRA site. The totals are our own arithmetic. We aren’t a government service and we don’t speak for one.
Frequently asked questions
