The Taxpayer Bill of Rights will make it easier for you to understand what you can expect in your dealings with us; that you will be treated fairly under clear and established rules, and that you can look forward to high standards of service in all your interactions with us. The Taxpayer Bill of Rights also includes the CRA Commitment to Small Business, a five-part statement through which the CRA undertakes to support the competitiveness of the Canadian business community by ensuring that interactions with the CRA are as effective and efficient as possible. These commitments complement the Government of Canada's pledge to create a competitive and dynamic business environment in which Canadian businesses will thrive.
