Statement From the Honourable Gail Shea, Minister of National Revenue

(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 04/04/13 -- The Honourable Gail Shea, Minister of National Revenue made the following statement regarding the recent media coverage regarding a list of Canadians with offshore assets.

"Anyone with information on tax cheats has an obligation to bring it forward. The release of this information is good news for the hardworking Canadians who pay their fair share. This is bad news for the tax evaders in this country.

"Our Government has long recognized that international tax evasion is a serious problem. For this reason, CRA officials will review any information they receive and aggressively pursue all suspected cases of tax evasion.

"Since 2006, our Government has introduced several measures to help address this problem and ensure tax fairness for all Canadians.

"Our Government is committed to cracking down on individuals who avoid paying their fair share of taxes. Economic Action Plan 2013 proposes new measures to combat International Tax Evasion and closing tax loopholes to ensure tax fairness for all Canadians. These new measures include:

"Over the last six years, the CRA has conducted approximately 8,000 compliance actions and reassessed in excess of $4.5 billion in federal taxes as the result of its efforts.

"We call on The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists to hand over this list to allow our Government to crack down on tax evaders."
