OTTAWA – The NDP is asking the auditor general to look into the Canada Revenue Agency’s ability to investigate large corporations and potential offshore tax evaders after recent data showed a stark drop in those audits in the four years leading up to the pandemic.
“More than five years after the Panama Papers and Paradise Papers scandals, the lack of results casts serious doubt on the CRA’s ability to be fair to all taxpayers and reinforces a sense of injustice to hard-working individuals and small and medium-sized businesses who work hard to pay their fair share,” reads the letter sent by NDP MP Matthew Green to the auditor general late last week.
