Subsections 231.1(a) and 231.1(1)(d) are of interest, because they were at issue in the 2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cccc.org\/kbm\/Content\/law\/horizons\/horizons-2019-07-july-577987740.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Cameco<\/em><\/a> court case. In that case the Federal Court of Appeal ruled that the Minister of National Revenue exceeded its authority when CRA auditors compelled a corporation\u2019s employees to give answers in an oral interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/revenue-agency\/news\/2019\/05\/statement-from-the-canada-revenue-agency-regarding-the-decision-in-canada-national-revenue-v-cameco-corporation-2019-fca-67.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CRA\u2019s statement in response<\/a> to <em>Cameco<\/em> noted that \u201crefusal to participate in oral interviews, and to provide the assistance required during the course of an audit indicates a lack of openness and transparency, and potentially a higher risk of non-compliance.\u201d CRA remained committed to the use of oral interviews. If taxpayers choose not to participate, the statement warned that \u201calternative means\u201d to verify compliance \u201cmay increase tax uncertainty and compliance burden\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The amendments to subsection (a) are intended to \u201cmodernize its language\u201d and make it consistent with similar language in the <em>Excise Tax Act, <\/em>s 288(1). The ability to inspect, audit or examine in (a) would change from \u201cany document \u2026 that relates or may relate to \u2026 information that is or should be in the books and records\u201d to \u201cany document, including books and records \u2026 that may be relevant in determining the obligations or entitlements of the taxpayer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Cameco<\/em> issue of answering questions is addressed in the amendments to subsection (d). The amendments are intended to \u201cmake clear that a taxpayer, or any other person, will be required to provide this assistance, as well as to answer these questions with respect to the administration or enforcement of the Act.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The subsection would retain language of the taxpayer giving \u201call reasonable assistance\u201d and \u201cto answer all proper questions relating to the administration or enforcement\u201d of the <em>ITA<\/em> but add a requirement to answer the questions in writing, in any form specified by the auditor.
