    History

    The Corporate and Commodity Taxation Branch was created in 1994 as the Tax Design and Legislation Branch within the Office of the Budget and Taxation and consisted of four units: The Corporations Tax Design Unit, Sales and Commodity Tax Design Unit, Property Tax Design Unit and Personal Income Tax Design Unit.

    In 2001 the Branch assumed its current name. It ceased to be responsible for Property Tax Design and Personal Income Tax Design, but gained from the former Taxation Policy Branch the Corporate Tax Policy Unit and the Sales and Commodity Tax Policy Unit. It later added a Quantitative Modelling Unit.
