Compliance

The CRA operates a number of programs to deal with suspected cases of tax evasion, fraud, and other tax offences, as well as non-compliance with Canada's tax laws by those who earn income from illegal activities.

Canada's tax system is based on self-assessment. The CRA's compliance activities help preserve public confidence in the fairness and integrity of those systems.

Our programs reflect the CRA's mandate to use responsible enforcement to promote awareness of and compliance with the laws we administer.
