Ontario. Corporate and Commodity Taxation Branch

• Corporate and Commodity Taxation Branch

• Tax Design and Legislation Branch

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.

From 1994 to 2002 the Branch was responsible for ensuring that tax legislation and regulations effectively expressed the province's tax policies and identifying opportunities to improve existing legislation and regulation.

After 2002 the Branch further assumed the function of providing advice and assistance to the Minister of Finance and the government in formulating corporate, sales and commodity tax policies, as well as providing advice on remission orders and Orders in Council for corporate, sales, and commodity taxes.
