Summary of the Corporate Business Plan 2013-2014 to 2015-2016
[a message from the minister]
"Our Government is committed to providing efficient services for Canadians, reducing red tape for businesses, and ensuring the integrity of the tax system."
— Gail Shea
The Government of Canada's priority is jobs, growth, and economic prosperity. I am pleased that the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is helping Canadians and especially small businesses to create jobs in the communities we live in, small and large.
As part of our Government's Red Tape Reduction Action Plan, the CRA is moving to reduce red tape, improve our services and talk to small businesses. Small businesses are the foundation of the Canadian economy. The CRA is listening to Canadian small businesses and moving forward on the changes they have told us are important to them, including improvements to many e-services. In the past year, we have launched a secure enquiries service where businesses can ask confidential tax-related questions. We also created a one-stop online business portal where businesses can easily access tax information and our online services.
The CRA has a responsibility to ensure all taxpayers comply with their obligations and to address willful non-compliance. In particular, we will address high-risk areas like aggressive tax planning, the underground economy, and international tax avoidance schemes, so that Canadians can continue to have confidence in the integrity of the tax system.
As Minister of National Revenue, I am proud to present the CRA's Summary of the Corporate Business Plan 2013-2014 to 2015-2016, which will guide us over the next three years as we continue to make a difference in the lives of Canadians.
The Honourable Gail Shea, P.C., MP
Minister of National Revenue and Minister for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency
