The period of Canada’s Advance Pricing Arrangement (APA) programme that concluded on March 31 2010 saw an all-time high in active cases, but questions about staffing issues still linger.
The Canada Revenue Agency’s (CRA) 2010 report said the programme’s active inventory rose from 84 cases at the start of the year to 95 cases at year’s end.
In the year up to the end of March 2010, the number of completed cases rose to 16, six more than were completed by the end of 2009.
“The CRA hired additional economists and analysts who developed the experience and knowledge to process APAs more quickly,” said a CRA spokesperson. “We have also used various new technologies to increase efficiency and maximize productivity.”
