Taxpayers' Ombudsman presents her 2018-2019 Annual Report: Breaking Down Barriers to Service

Quotes

"It is not sufficient for the CRA to provide information that can be understood; it must provide information that cannot be misunderstood."

Sherra Profit, Taxpayers' Ombudsman 

"...the CRA's information silos create a lack of understanding by taxpayers and benefit recipients, and within the CRA. This leads to confusion and frustration. Through receiving complaints, collaboration and outreach activities, we are well positioned to effect change, break down barriers to service, and bridge the gaps in access, understanding and communication."

Sherra Profit, Taxpayers' Ombudsman

Background information
Operating at an arm's length from the CRA, the Office of the Taxpayers' Ombudsman (OTO) works to enhance the CRA's accountability in its service to, and treatment of, taxpayers and benefit recipients through independent and impartial reviews of service-related complaints and systemic complaints.
