SUMMARY |
|
|
|
This enactment will provide a means for individual taxpayers to
inform government on their views on levels and priorities for the
expenditure of tax revenues by completing a People's Tax Form and
sending it with their tax returns. The submission of the Form is
voluntary.
|
|
|
|
The Minister of National Revenue is then required to analyse the
Forms and consolidate the opinions in an analysis presented to
Parliament.
|
|
|
|
The Standing Committee of the House of Commons on Finance will
then study the analysis and its relation to proposed expenditures of
public money and report to the House. The Committee has the power to
recommend changes to expenditures, changes to the Form and changes
to the Act. The Form may be amended by order of the Governor in
Council, provided the House has been first advised.
