Bill S-217 — Loi modifiant la Loi sur l’Agence du revenu du Canada (rapports concernant l’impôt sur le revenu impayé)
Loi sur l’équité pour les contribuables canadiens (calcul du manque à gagner fiscal pour lutter contre l’évasion fiscale à l’étranger)
Ce projet de loi changerait la façon dont l'Agence du revenu du Canada (ARC) fait ses rapports. L'ARC devrait inclure une liste détaillée de toutes les condamnations pour évasion fiscale, y compris une liste séparée pour l'évasion fiscale internationale. De plus, tous les trois ans, l'ARC devrait publier des statistiques sur « l'écart fiscal », c'est-à-dire la différence entre l'impôt qui devrait être payé et l'impôt qui est réellement payé, et fournir ces données au directeur parlementaire du budget.
Mark Carney believes trade problems with the U.S. can be fixed if Canada's worries are also addressed. Separately, a parliamentary committee recommends that prime ministers should be required to sell their investments and move money out of tax havens to prevent conflicts of interest.

Inscription gratuite — 30 sThis proposed law aims to increase transparency around tax evasion and the "tax gap" (uncollected taxes). It would require the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to report on tax evasion convictions and provide data to calculate the tax gap, which is good. However, the details of how the tax gap will be calculated and used are not fully defined, and there may be challenges in accurately estimating it.
Things to Watch For
- The exact methods for calculating the tax gap are not specified, which could lead to inconsistent reporting.
- The law does not explain how the reported tax gap data will be used to improve tax collection or prevent tax evasion.
- It's unclear if the CRA has the resources needed to accurately collect and analyze the data required by this law.
- The law doesn't specify how the CRA will protect taxpayer privacy when sharing data with the Parliamentary Budget Officer.
- The law does not address how the CRA will handle situations where data is incomplete or unavailable.
