In the summer of 2023, a Canadian taxpayer exploited the Canada Revenue Agency's system, fraudulently claiming over $40 million in refunds, triggering investigations.
"The CRA has to clean up its act," said Andre Lareau, urging the agency to better verify claims rather than issuing refunds based on trust.
Following unusually large payments detected by CIBC, an investigation revealed that hackers breached thousands of CRA accounts and manipulated tax returns.
"The CRA cannot execute its functions by just refunding the amount that is claimed," highlighting the need for thorough assessments, especially with multiple amendments.
