The goods on GAAR

Article Abstract:

A general anti-avoidance rule (GAAR) was added to the Income Tax Act in 1988 which empowered Revenue Canada to question tax avoidance cases or abuses where there are no definite anti-avoidance rules. GAAR has only been recently invoked as part of Revenue Canada's regular standard audit procedures. GAAR aims to prevent the abuse of tax avoidance transactions without destabilizing legal commercial or family transactions in tax planning.
