Administrative Burden Baseline: Update 2015

The Administrative Burden Baseline provides Canadians with a clear metric on the total number of requirements in federal regulations and associated forms that impose administrative burden on business. This baseline contributes to the openness and transparency of the federal regulatory system.

All federal regulations administered by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) that have requirements that impose administrative burden on business are identified below. The total 2015 count is 1776. The total June 30th, 2014 baseline count was 1776.

Between July 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015, CRA’s total count of administrative burden requirements did not change. There were no regulatory changes that affected the existing count of administrative burden requirements in any of the CRA regulations.  In addition there were no changes to forms or schedules attached to or associated with the regulations that affected the count. As a result the count remains unchanged from the 2014 baseline count.
