External (User) Charging Revenues
It is the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency's policy to recover costs for goods and services that provide identifiable recipients with direct benefits beyond those received by the general public unless overriding public policy or program objectives would be compromised. As well, the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency Act allows the Agency to spend revenues received through the conduct of its operations in the fiscal year in which the revenues are received including fees for the provision of a service, or the use of a facility or for a product, right or prilege.
Exhibit 1 provides a summary of CCRA's external charging initiatives for 2002-2003 as well as brief descriptions of the program, the type of fee, the authority to charge the fee, and the consultation, analysis and client redress mechanisms that are currently in place for each initiative. The summary table displays only those initiatives that pertain to the reporting requirements of TBS External Charging Policy (i.e. initiatives less than $100K and inter-governmental arrangements such as the Provincial Tax Credit programs are not included in this table.)
Please direct any inquiries on the information provided on external charging in CCRA to David Hum, Director Strategic Analysis and Cost Management Division at (613) 941-6704.
