The Income Tax Act, the Taxation Act, An Act respecting the ministère du Revenu and other taxation legislation provide for penalties and fines in case of violations of their provisions.
The penal violations provided under this legislation are many, whether they consist in omitting to submit a report, falsifying documents or using certain means of tax evasion. The fines are onerous, and sentences may include imprisonment.
