TAX
CCRA has set up a special
program administered by their Investigation Division to identify people who
support themselves through illegal activities. Illegal activities are
taxable and so fall under the auspices of CCRA.
They have hired 150 investigators who co-ordinate with contacts in various
police departments, governmental agencies as well as media and the general
public.
Their interest lies in any one who deals in criminal activities such as
drugs, narcotics, theft, fraud, prostitution, smuggling and loan sharking.
Included in fraud are such things as EI fraud as well as welfare fraud.
In 2001-2002 566 of these special audits uncovered $36,000,000 in unpaid tax
in Canada.
