Canadians – CRA Centers of International Tax Excellence
John McCallum, Minister of National Revenue, announced recently the creation of 11 centers of expertise across Canada in an ongoing effort to address aggressive international tax planning. The announcement was made at the London Tax Services Office, where one of the centers is located.
CRA states that the Centers of Expertise represent a new way of doing business for the CRA. By bringing together audit professionals from the areas of international tax, special audits and tax avoidance to create teams of experts, the CRA is ensuring a more coordinated approach in addressing aggressive international tax planning and the abusive use of tax havens.
