The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) recently released its 2012 annual report on the Canadian Mutual Agreement Procedure (MAP) program – the CRA's mandatory service program designed to help taxpayers resolve cases of:

For most owners the tax is an afterthought: file the annual declaration, confirm the unit was lived in, and move on.
