The CRA requires high risk scores and analysis to validate and confirm that its newly designed system is correctly identifying organizations and accounts that have been abusing the Value Added Tax/Government Sales Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (VAT/GST/HST) systems. The Government of Canada has committed to combatting aggressive tax avoidance and safeguarding the national tax base. This includes preventing various international and domestic VAT/GST/HST schemes aimed at defrauding this government.
In order to meet this requirement, the CRA requires the vendor’s proprietary risk models, tools, and resources, working in conjunction with CRA internal datasets, to generate high risk scores of the entities registered for VAT/GST/HST which will identify the organizations that are at high risk of aggressive non-compliant activities for VAT/GST/HST.
The contract will have a firm one year period with a one year option period.
