The CRA [Canada Revenue Agency] also maintains Canada's business number system. A business number is a unique client identifier given to a business to help simplify its dealings with federal, provincial/territorial, aboriginal, and municipal governments. The system is based on the idea of one business, one number, and it is a key enabler of red tape reduction.

Le système est fondé sur le principe d'une entreprise, un numéro, et il est un facteur déterminant pour la réduction de la paperasse.
