Service Standards and Commitments

The Ministry of Finance is committed to delivering quality service in benefit and tax administration that is both accountable and accessible to all Ontarians. We recognize that the need to improve never ends, nor do our customers' expectations for more convenient and accessible services.

Our goal is to be recognized by our clients as a professional and effective organization that keeps pace with the rising expectations of Ontarians for high quality, cost effective public services.
