Social Insurance Number Disclosure Regulations

The Social Insurance Number Disclosure Regulations, made under the Excise Tax Act, outline the requirements for disclosure of Social Insurance Numbers for registration purposes.

These Regulations are based on the recommendation of the Minister of National Revenue and were brought into force by the Governor General in Council. The purpose of these Regulations is to ensure that individuals provide their Social Insurance Numbers when applying for registration under section 240 of the Excise Tax Act.

The Regulations stipulate that every individual who applies for registration shall disclose their Social Insurance Number in the form prescribed by the Minister. This requirement ensures that the necessary information is collected and processed for the purpose of registration, as mandated by the Excise Tax Act.

By making these Regulations, the government aims to maintain the integrity of the registration process while adhering to the legal requirements set forth in the Excise Tax Act. The Regulations will have a direct impact on individuals who apply for registration and will help to ensure that the necessary information is accurately collected and recorded.
