Compliance Manuals, Policies and Committees
Policy now available
Rectification/Rescission/Annulment: Local Referral Procedures for Applications for Declaratory or Equitable Relief provides guidance to Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) officials in the Compliance Programs Branch (CPB) on applications for relief where a taxpayer is seeking the common law remedy of rectification or rescission or similar reliefs under the Quebec civil law, that is rectification or annulment. For more information, go to Rectification/Rescission/Annulment: Local Referral Procedures for Applications for Declaratory or Equitable Relief.
To support its commitment to open government, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) shares its audit guidance documents with taxpayers and their advisors. These manuals, policies and committees are used by CRA auditors in conducting compliance activities that affect the general public.
Some of these documents have links to information housed in an intranet system called InfoZone, which is only accessible to CRA employees.
