Overview
The principal functions of the Ministry of Revenue are to administer the province's major tax statutes and tax assistance programs. The tax revenues collected provide the fiscal foundation upon which many of the province's programs are based.
The ministry operates a fair, effective, cost-efficient and confidential tax system that seeks to minimize the regulatory and administrative burden to individuals and businesses. The ministry maintains the integrity of the province's self-assessment system by encouraging voluntary compliance through taxpayer education and customer service, while discouraging non-compliance through enforcement activities.
