Membership of Advisory Groups on Electronic Commerce Announced by Minister

The Minister of National Revenue, the Honourable Herb Dhaliwal, has announced appointments to four technical advisory groups that are designed to provide ongoing expert advice to Revenue Canada on electronic commerce issues.

CSCB President Carol West has been appointed to the Advisory Group on Improving Taxpayer Service. This group will advise on electronic service delivery to clients, including issues such as simplifying tax registration and filing requirements, and establishing quicker and more secure ways of paying taxes and getting refunds.

Each advisory group is chaired by a senior Revenue Canada official; the groups were formed as a result of the Minister's response to the report from the Minister's Advisory Committee on Electronic Commerce, on which Ms. West also sat.
