What is the CRA doing to combat tax avoidance?
The CRA combats tax avoidance by:
- adapting the way we audit to include reviews for potential tax avoidance issues
- monitoring tax avoidance trends – for example, the CRA now reviews 100% of all tax shelters;
- ensuring timely communications to CRA auditors, so they are kept up-to-date about tax avoidance strategies people are using; and
- consulting the Department of Finance on legislative changes related to abusive tax avoidance strategies that are being used.
