Commissioner, the Auditor General found, in paragraph 7.32, that “For example, if the Agency asked an individual to provide a receipt to support a claimed expense and the taxpayer did not provide the receipt within 90 days, the Agency would automatically disallow the expense as an eligible income tax deduction.”
That's for average taxpayers. By contrast, for others, such as those with offshore transactions, they found that the time frame to provide information was sometimes extended for months or even years. For example, banks and foreign countries could take months to provide information on the taxpayer's offshore transactions to the agency or to the taxpayer.
Why is it that this agency, under the direction of your Liberal minister, goes after small pizza shop owners because they don't have a receipt for filling up their tank of gas for a delivery, but the international tax evaders who have offshore accounts get months of reprieve from pursuit by your department, according to the Auditor General?
