      History

      The Ministry of Revenue was established in 1972, replacing the Department of Revenue. With this change, the Ministry also acquired responsibility over assessment functions which had previously been a part of the Department of Municipal Affairs. The Ministry was presided over by the Minister of Revenue.

      The branches of the Ministry were grouped into four primary areas. These were the Office of the Deputy Minister, the Tax Revenue and Grants Program, the Property Assessment Program, and the Support Services Division. Also attached to the Ministry was the Province of Ontario Savings Office.

      The Tax Revenue and Grants Program was administered by an Assistant Deputy Minister and was responsible for retail sales tax, motor fuels and tobacco tax, corporations tax, tax appeals, and for the Tax Operations and Design Division (renamed the Revenue Services and Operations Division in 1991).

      The Property Assessment Program, also administered by an Assistant Deputy Minister, consisted of the Assessment Services Division, the Assessment Policies and Priorities Branch, and the various Property Assessment Regional Offices.

      In 1986, the Support Services Division was renamed the Corporate Resources Division, and in 1988, an Information Technology Division was established.

      In 1993, the Ministry was amalgamated with the Ministry of Financial Institutions and the Ministry of Treasury and Economics to form the Ministry of Finance.
