Compliance Manuals, Policies and Committees

To support its commitment to open government, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) shares its audit guidance documents with taxpayers and their advisors. These manuals, policies and committees are used by CRA auditors in conducting compliance activities that affect the general public.

Some of these documents have links to information housed in an intranet system called InfoZone, which is only accessible to CRA employees.
