Thank you.
That the Canada Revenue Agency provide the Standing Committee on Finance with information pertaining to estimating the Canadian Federal Tax Gap, including but not limited to:
a) data or information regarding the difference between reported and assessed employment, dividend, and interest income for an anonymous random sample of T1 and T2 tax filers;
b) any estimates held by the CRA regarding “collectability” of resulting reassessments and the rates of “non-detection” of incorrect returns through audit;
c) any other information held by the CRA pertaining to the preparation of a Tax Gap estimate and;
d) that this information is shared with parliamentarians and the Parliamentary Budget Office so that an attempt to estimate the Tax Gap can be made through other means as the CRA does not prepare Tax Gap estimates.
