Bill S-258

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
November 23, 2023
Fairness for All Canadian Taxpayers Act (measuring the tax gap to fight international tax evasion)
  • Bill S-258, also known as the Fairness for All Canadian Taxpayers Act, aims to address tax evasion and measure the tax gap in Canada. The bill requires the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to include a detailed list of all convictions for tax evasion, including international tax evasion, in its annual report to the Minister of National Revenue. Additionally, once every three years, the CRA must include statistics on the tax gap in its annual report. The tax gap refers to the amount of taxes that should have been assessed but were not, as well as the difference between the assessed and collected taxes. The Minister is also required to provide data on the tax gap to the Parliamentary Budget Officer. This bill aims to increase transparency and combat tax evasion.
