Income tax rulings and interpretations

The Income Tax Rulings Directorate is the centre of income tax expertise within the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), issuing advance income tax rulings and technical interpretations on which our clients can rely.

In order to fulfill this requirement, the Directorate will maintain a well educated, trained and experienced staff which will be able to deal effectively with any income tax issue that arises. The Directorate's staff will be accessible and responsive to our client's needs and will operate at all times within our quality management system.
