National Revenue Minister Presents Study on Tax Gap Estimation

(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 06/30/16 -- Canada Revenue Agency

Middle-class taxpayers who pay their share of taxes expect a tax system that is fair and responsive to their needs. The Government of Canada is determined to use all tools necessary to make sure Canadians have confidence in their tax system.

Today, the Minister for National Revenue, Diane Lebouthillier, announced that the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has taken the first step to follow through on its commitment to estimate Canada's tax gap with the presentation of a study on tax gap estimation. This process will help the government examine the difference between taxes that would be paid if all obligations were fully respected in all cases and the taxes that are actually paid and collected. Understanding this will help the Government of Canada crack down on tax evasion and tax avoidance.

This commitment is part of a series of measures announced by the Minister on April 11, 2016, to more effectively combat tax evasion and tax avoidance.

It is equally important that we continue to seek innovative ways for Canadians to understand and comply with the Canadian tax system."

The Honourable Diane Lebouthillier, P.C., M.P., Minister of National Revenue
