The Canada Revenue Agency (the Canadian income tax department) has wide powers of inquiry and investigation under the Canadian Income Tax Act, including the power to demand records and information. A person who refuses to comply with the requirement to provide information is subject to prosecution under section 238 of the Tax Act. Consider retaining a Canadian taxation lawyer for assistance.
