1.6 million Canadian banking records shared with IRS
CRA now transferring 600,000 banking records per year under
controversial information sharing agreement

Elizabeth Thompson · CBC News · Posted: Jan 23, 2019 4:00 AM ET

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has received information on 1.6
million Canadian bank accounts over four years from the Canada Revenue
Agency. (Susan Walsh/Associated Press)


The Canadian government has shared more than 1.6 million Canadian
banking records with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service since the start
of a controversial information-sharing agreement in 2014, CBC News has
learned.



In 2016 and again in 2017, the Canada Revenue Agency provided the IRS
with information on 600,000 Canadian bank accounts each year. That's a
sharp increase from the 300,000 records shared in 2015 and the 150,000
records shared in 2014, the year the sharing began.



However, that doesn't necessarily correspond to the number of people
affected. Some people may have more than one bank account, while some
joint accounts could have more than one account holder — including
people who don't hold U.S. citizenship.



Among the items of Canadian bank account information being shared with
the U.S. are the names and addresses of account holders, account
numbers, account balances or values, and information about certain
payments such as interest, dividends, other income and proceeds of
disposition.



The information transfer is the result of a controversial information
sharing agreement between Canada and the U.S. negotiated in the wake
of the American government's adoption of the Foreign Account Tax
Compliance Act (FATCA). The act, adopted in a bid to curb offshore tax
evasion, obliges foreign financial institutions to report information
about accounts held by people who could be subject to U.S. taxes.



The Canadian government argued that negotiating the
information-sharing agreement would be better than forcing Canadian
banks to deal directly with the IRS. Under the agreement, Canadian
financial institutions send information on accounts held by clients
with U.S. indicia (such as the account-holder being born in the United
States) to the CRA; once a year, the CRA then forwards the information
to the IRS.


Under the intergovernmental agreement, Canadian financial institutions
transfer information on bank accounts held by people who could be
subject to U.S. taxes to the CRA.



In return, the IRS is supposed to send the CRA information about U.S.
bank accounts held by Canadians. The CRA, however, has repeatedly
refused to reveal how many records, if any, it has received from the
IRS as a result of the agreement.



Nor does the CRA automatically notify Canadian account holders when
their information is transferred to the U.S., said CRA spokesman
Etienne Biram.



"There is no legislative requirement to disclose this information," he
wrote. "However, if requested by a taxpayer, the CRA will confirm
whether information relating to a particular individual or entity has
been reported and provided to the United States of America under
FATCA."



The CRA said the increase in the number of records transferred from
one year to the next was expected because certain financial accounts
did not have to be reported during the first two years of the
agreement.



The revelation that 1.6 million records have been shared with the U.S
comes as the Federal Court of Canada prepares to hear a constitutional
challenge of the information-sharing agreement next week in Vancouver.



Those challenging the agreement argue that it violates sections 7, 8
and 15 of Canada's Charter of Rights, which protect Canadians from
violations of their right to life, liberty and security, unreasonable
search and seizure and discrimination against those who hold U.S. as
well as Canadian citizenship.



In its submission to the court, the plaintiffs argue that some of the
people whose banking records have been shared with the IRS may not be
subject to U.S. taxes.


Conservative Revenue Critic Pat Kelly says the information sharing
agreement could help the IRS target Canadian residents who could be
subject to the repatriation tax signed into law by U.S. President
Donald Trump in 2017. (Christian Diotte/House of Commons)



The government, however, presents the information-sharing agreement as
the lesser of available evils and an attempt to mitigate the potential
impact of FATCA, which included a potential 30 per cent withholding
tax on institutions that didn't comply.


"There were potentially severe consequences to the Canadian financial
sector, its customers and investors, and to the Canadian economy as a
whole if Canadian financial institutions were unable or unwilling to
comply with FATCA," wrote the government in its submission to the
court.

"Canada sought to avoid those consequences and at the same time obtain
less burdensome compliance rules for Canadian financial institutions
and their customers, and additional information from the United States
for Canadian tax compliance purposes."

The government argues the deal doesn't violate any charter rights —
and that even if it does,  it is a reasonable limit on those rights
given what was at stake. It also points out that close to 100
countries have negotiated similar deals with the U.S. in the wake of
FATCA.

NDP Revenue Critic Pierre-Luc Dusseault says the CRA should advise
Canadian residents when their banking information is shared with the
IRS. (Adrian Wyld/The Canadian Press)

Stephen Kish is a member of the Alliance for the Defence of Canadian
Sovereignty, which mounted the legal challenge. He questioned how many
of those records should have been shared.

"It's a huge number of accounts. What our lawyers are trying to find
out is how many of those accounts were those of Canadian citizens, how
many of those accounts were, in fact, U.S. persons, how many of those
accounts should not have been sent because they didn't achieve the
correct account balance."

Conservative Revenue Critic Pat Kelly said sharing banking records
with the IRS has increased the number of Canadian residents at risk of
being hit by the repatriation tax signed into law by U.S. President
Donald Trump in December 2017. The tax has hit thousands of Canadian
residents with U.S. or dual citizenship and a company incorporated in
Canada.

"The information sharing agreement ... helps facilitate giving the IRS
a target list in Canada," he said. "The Canadian government has to
respect Canadians' privacy and be aware of all of these consequences."

NDP Revenue Critic Pierre-Luc Dusseault said the CRA should
proactively notify Canadian bank account holders when information
about their accounts is transferred to the U.S.

"The CRA should do its job of informing their citizens, the taxpayers
of Canada that they are taking their personal banking information and
transferring it to a foreign country. This is the bare minimum and it
shows again the lack of transparency of this government."

Here is a little proof to support what I said on the phone.

A debate

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cFOKT6TlSE

and a lawsuit

https://www.scribd.com/doc/281544801/Federal-Court-Seal

https://www.scribd.com/doc/281442628/Me-Versus-the-Crown

FYI During my debates  in Fundy Royal I made certain that Rob Moore
and his boss Harper and the Libranos knew within the emails found
below that I was not talking through my hat with reference to the TPP
false promises dairy farmers and my concerns about the Internet

As you journalists well know I made good on my promise to sue the
CROWN while running for a seat in Parliament one last time. As usual
CBC and most of the other very unethical "journlists" ignored the
obvious except Rogers TV and the local reporters employed by the
Irving billionaires

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yx8twtlgp4


Clearly Jesse Brown and  his buddy Mean Mikey Geist were yapping about
the TPP before you revealed the PCO's point of view about Harper's
false promise. More importantly to Mean Old Me both those very snobby
and very unethical Upper Canadian spin doctors well aware I knew the
very sneaky Julian Assange long BEFORE he and Birgitta Jonsdotir made
Wikileaks. Hell I have been dicing with  the bast Geist for over ten
years since he stuck his nose in Byron Prior's matters (Another matter
no journalist will report about) Anyone can scroll down or just Google
"Michael Geist""David Amos" or "Julian Assange"  "David Amos" to see
the proof of what I say is true.

Privy Council Office tracks party promises to prepare for government transition
Senior public servants log and analyze every election promise on a
daily basis to prep briefing books

Liberals, NDP decline PCO offer of confidential briefing on TPP trade deal
Offer to view trade deal just before election rejected as 'political ploy'
CBC News Posted: Oct 15, 2015 5:11 PM ET|

"Mulcair said Trade Minister Ed Fast broke a promise to make all
details of the accord public ahead of election day.

"Instead of openness and transparency, Canadians are learning details
through leaked information and the government's own self-serving
promotional efforts. That's not acceptable," Mulcair said.

The Privy Council Office is the department that provides non-partisan
support to the prime minister and cabinet. The Conservative campaign
told CBC News the government asked the PCO to offer the briefing to
the opposition parties.

But in a separate letter released Thursday, Liberal candidate John
McCallum accused Prime Minister Stephen Harper of continuing a "lack
of transparency" over the deal's details.

"Despite a commitment by the minister of international trade, Mr. Ed
Fast, to release the text of the agreement so all Canadians can judge
it on its merits before election day, media reports this week state
that the details will remain secret," McCallum wrote.

"It is troubling that with just four days remaining until election
day, you continue to refuse to release the text of the agreement for
Canadians to see."

McCallum noted that a previous briefing attended by party
representatives on Oct. 4 "provided no actual details beyond the
limited information already released publicly."

"It is simply not possible to conduct a meaningful, in-depth analysis
of the 1,500-plus page agreement in 90 minutes," he wrote.

I am included in briefing. I was only leader to participate in the 1st
#TPP briefing. #GPC #elxn42 @CanadianGreens @Politicolnews @PnPCBC

— @ElizabethMay
Conservative campaign spokesman Kory Teneycke told CBC News the
Liberals initially agreed to attend the Friday briefing, while the NDP
declined. Teneycke said the briefing was to be based on the chapter
summaries, since the final text does not exist yet.

A Liberal campaign spokesman referred CBC News to McCallum's letter,
but said any suggestion the party had accepted the offer of the
briefing was false."

Conservative Government Must be Transparent with Canadians during TPP Talks

Posted on July 16, 2012

CHARLOTTETOWN— Liberal International Trade critic Wayne Easter made
the following statement today on Canada’s Trans-Pacific Partnership
(TPP) negotiations:

“According to a recent report, the US will be seeking ‘new market
access’ from Canada in the TPP negotiations. The report noted that a
major component of negotiations would be Canada’s supply management
system.

It is imperative that this Conservative government be completely
transparent on their TPP negotiations, especially in regards to what
Canada is conceding in order to be accepted into this partnership.
Canadian dairy and poultry producers depend on the supply management
system, just as Canadian consumers rely on its stable pricing, and
they all deserve assurance that their livelihoods and food safety will
not be compromised in these negotiations.”



http://www.ctvnews.ca/business/montreal-dairy-company-saputo-says-it-can-adapt-to-any-tpp-deal-1.2501466

"Saputo said some dairy farmers have good reason to be worried if
there are dramatic changes to Canada's protective supply management
system, as demanded by some of the 12 countries involved in
negotiating the trade deal. But he said other farmers are efficient,
can compete with anybody in the world and flourish in an unregulated
system.

The abolition of Canada's dairy supply management system would
threaten 4,500 to 6,000 farms and up to 24,000 direct jobs across the
country, according to a study released last week commissioned by dairy
co-operative and Saputo rival Agropur.

Up to 40 per cent of Canada's milk production would be at risk, said
the 56-page report from Boston Consulting Group."

http://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/tpp-trade-deal-is-now-close-and-for-canada-the-last-big-issue-is-dairy-1.2592586

"Fast used more guarded language on dairy. Of that, he said: "There's
still lots of work to be done."

The Canadian government faces domestic pressure from dairy-producing
provinces, who are not at the negotiating table but have provincial
representatives in Atlanta pushing against any opening to foreign milk
and cheese.

Canada isn't the only country with domestic pressure: the American
delegation has received a public letter from influential lawmakers
urging it to walk away unless it can secure certain gains for American
businesses.

But the biggest U.S. business lobby is urging a deal now.

It says the decade-long TPP project could be destroyed by domestic
politics if it doesn't happen immediately, with elections in Canada,
then the U.S., Japan and Peru next year and governments under pressure
to protect individual sectors.

"If we miss this opportunity I believe we may lose it forever," said
Tami Overby, vice-president at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

"We have the Canadian election. No one knows what that outcome's going
to be. We also get closer to the U.S. 2016 (presidential race) -- that
gets harder. So from my perspective nothing gets better. But the risk
increases, and in some cases quite significantly as time goes by."

As if to underscore her point, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair announced Friday
that he wouldn't consider himself bound to ratify any deal reached
during the election campaign.

Overby encouraged all countries to put some of the proverbial water in
their wine.

For Canada, that wine comes with a little more foreign cheese.

She said New Zealand hasn't asked for much. But it helped spearhead
the TPP project years ago, with its one major demand being access to
dairy markets.

Other Canadian industries are thrilled at the prospect of a deal.

The head of Canada's pro-free-market agriculture group said he expects
a nine-per-cent increase in canola exports alone, with big gains for
other industries including pork, beef and barley.

"We're extremely optimistic for our sector," said Brian Innes of the
Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance, and vice-president of the Canola
Council.

"We face significant trade barriers, this is the most ambitious deal
in decades, and it could have a major impact on our ability to
export."

Transfer of Canadian banking records to U.S. tax agency doubled last year
Documents for thousands of Canadian residents transferred under
controversial FATCA legislation

By Elizabeth Thompson, CBC News Posted: Jan 29, 2017 5:00 AM ET

Banking records of more than 315,000 Canadian residents were turned
over to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service last year under a
controversial information sharing deal, CBC News has learned.

That is double the number transferred in the deal's first year.

The Canada Revenue Agency transmitted 315,160 banking records to the
IRS on Sept. 28, 2016 — a 104 per cent increase over the 154,667
records the agency sent in September 2015.

Lisa Damien, spokeswoman for the CRA, attributed the increase to the
fact it was the second year for the Canada-U.S. information sharing
deal that was sparked by the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
(FATCA).

"The exchange in September 2015 was based on accounts identified by
financial institutions at the time," she said. "The number of reported
accounts was expected to increase in 2016, because the financial
institutions have had more time to complete their due diligence and
identify other reportable accounts."

agreement to share banking records of Canadian residents with the IRS.

The transmission of banking records of Canadian residents is the
result of an agreement worked out in 2014 between Canada and the U.S.
after the American government adopted FATCA. The U.S. tax compliance
act requires financial institutions around the world to reveal
information about bank accounts in a bid to crack down on tax evasion
by U.S. taxpayers with foreign accounts.
Dual citizens, long-term visitors affected

The deal requires financial institutions to share the banking records
of those considered to be "U.S. persons" for tax purposes — regardless
of whether they are U.S. citizens.

Among the people who can be considered by the IRS as "U.S. persons"
are Canadians born in the U.S., dual citizens or even those who spend
more than a certain number of days in the United States each year.

Former prime minister Stephen Harper's government argued that given
the penalties the U.S. was threatening to impose, it had no choice but
to negotiate the information sharing deal. The former government said
it was able to exempt some types of accounts from the information
transfer.

to be 'U.S. persons' to the IRS. (Sean Kilpatrick/Canadian Press)

The Canada Revenue Agency triggered controversy after it transferred
the first batch of Canadian banking records to the IRS in September
2015 in the midst of the election campaign, without waiting for an
assessment by Canada's privacy commissioner or the outcome of a legal
challenge to the agreement's constitutionality.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Treasury Board President Scott Brison
and Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale have dropped calls to scrap
the deal, which they had made before the Liberals came to power.
Watchdog wants proactive notification

Privacy Commissioner Daniel Therrien has raised concerns about the
information sharing, questioning whether financial institutions are
reporting more accounts than necessary. Under the agreement, financial
institutions only have to report accounts belonging to those believed
to be U.S. persons if they contain more than $50,000.

Therrien has also suggested the CRA proactively notify individuals
that their financial records had been shared with the IRS. However,
the CRA has been reluctant to agree to Therrien's suggestion.

transmitting more banking records to the IRS than is necessary.
(Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press)

NDP revenue critic Pierre-Luc Dusseault said the increase in the
number of files transferred was "surprising," and he questioned
whether financial institutions are only sharing records of accounts
worth more than $50,000.

"I don't see how there would be 150,000 more accounts reportable to
the IRS in one year. It is something I will look into."

Dusseault said the CRA should notify every Canadian resident whose
banking records are shared with the IRS.

Lynne Swanson, of the Alliance for the Defence of Canadian
Sovereignty, which is challenging the information sharing agreement in
Federal Court, said she has no idea why the number of banking records
shared with the IRS doubled.
Youngest MP 20110519

NDP revenue critic Pierre-Luc Dusseault says the CRA should notify
every Canadian resident whose banking records are shared with the IRS.
(Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press)

"It still seems low in comparison to the number of Canadians that are
affected by this," she said. "It is estimated that a million Canadians
are affected by this."
Hopes for repeal

Swanson hopes that U.S. President Donald Trump, or Congress — which is
now controlled by the Republican Party — will scrap FATCA. The
Republican platform pledged to do away with the information collecting
legislation.

"FATCA not only allows 'unreasonable search and seizures' but also
threatens the ability of overseas Americans to lead normal lives," the
platform reads. "We call for its repeal and for a change to
residency-based taxation for U.S. citizens overseas."

Swanson's group is also hoping the Federal Court of Canada will
intervene, although a date has not yet been set for a hearing.

"A foreign government is essentially telling the Canadian government
how Canadian citizens and Canadian residents should be treated. It is
a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms."
