Revenu Québec has initiated a growing number of audits for residents who use an out-of-province address to benefit from lower tax rates, partly due to a rising number of complaints.
Revenu Québec has conducted 650 audits since 2019-2020 related to potential fake addresses, stats show.
At the same time, there has been a significant increase in the number of people who report potentially non-compliant taxpayers, providing a series of new leads for provincial auditors. Some of the complaints came from Quebec residents who denounced neighbours whose cars continue to be registered in Ontario, for example, based on the assumption they could also use another address for tax purposes.
Jean-Paul Perreault says anyone who tries to skirt paying full taxes by using a fake address is committing "theft." In most cases, provincial investigators determined the scheme had been in place for more than one year, which is why there were more than two notices of assessment, on average, per taxpayer.
