Estimating the return of additional federal spending on business tax compliance.: YN5-207/2020E-PDF

"Since Budget 2015, the federal government has announced additional funding aimed at supporting the Canada Revenue Agency's (CRA) efforts to strengthen tax compliance, with the objective of preventing underground economic activity, tax evasion and aggressive tax planning. To that effect, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has been allocated close to $1.9 billion in additional funding between fiscal years 2015-16 and 2023-24. In return, the federal government expects to collect $13 billion in additional revenues over the same period. Although compliance activities extend to both individuals and corporations, this report focuses solely on business compliance programs as defined by the CRA. It analyses the historical relationship between federal spending and additional tax revenues generated through business compliance programs and estimates how changes in funding might affect future revenues. The scope of the analysis is limited to the federal government and does not consider the effects of the increased federal spending on provincial governments"--Executive summary, page 1.
