 | | June 2019 | The CRA statement regarding oral interviews and the Cameco decision
John Oakey, CPA, CA, TEP, CC, CC, is National Director of Tax Services at Baker Tilly Canada | The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) released a statement on May 31, 2019 following the Federal Court of Appeal (FCA) decision in National Revenue v. Cameco Corporation (2019 FCA 67). At the heart of this case is the breadth of the CRA’s audit powers and its ability to compel employees to participate in oral interviews during a general audit. Both the Federal Court and the FCA sided with the taxpayer, preventing the CRA from conducting the requested employee oral interviews.
