    History

    The Revenue Division was created in 1963, within the Treasury Dept. It replaced the former Office of the Comptroller of Revenue, although the position of Comptroller of Revenue continued to exist, as head of the Revenue Division.

    The division became part of the Department of Revenue in 1968, and of the Ministry of Revenue in 1972.

    In 1980, the Revenue Division was replaced with the Tax Revenue and Grants Program, and at the same time the position of Comptroller of Revenue was replaced with a Deputy Minister in charge of the new Division.
