This program is responsible for the efficient and effective administration of Ontario tax statutes, tax incentive programs and benefits programs. It strives to optimize revenues and promote enrollment in benefits programs. Revenues collected through tax and non-tax programs provide the fiscal foundation on which many government programs and services are based. To ensure fairness for all taxpayers, the program encourages compliance through taxpayer information services, client services, and independent objections reviews, and discourages non-compliance, tax evasion and participation in the underground economy through collections activities, audits, inspections and investigations. The program also leads enterprise initiatives such as the transformation of benefits service delivery and the centralization of collections; and manages the province's relationship with the Canada Revenue Agency, to ensure effective administration of the taxes collected on its behalf.
