Finance Committee calls for action on tax evasion

14 December 2012

The House of Commons Finance Committee calls for the federal government to "examine further ways to combat tax evasion and conduct a comprehensive review of the tax system to help ensure its fairness and neutrality, and to close loopholes that allow certain groups to avoid paying their “fair share of tax.”

These recommendations were contained in the Report on their Pre-Budget Consultations which was tabled on December 13, 2012.

It also recommended, "That the federal government examine further ways to better equip the Canada Revenue Agency to combat tax evasion while working collaboratively with law enforcement agencies to prosecute tax evaders."
