The Ontario Government
has automated the mandatory Tax Compliance Verification (TCV) process for
businesses bidding on provincial contracts valued at $25,000 or above.
Effective September 14,
2018, service providers registered with the Ministry of Transportation’s Registry,
Appraisal and Qualification System (RAQS) are required to confirm compliance
with provincial tax obligations, including those federally administered for
Ontario, using a new self-serve portal. The
TCV portal replaces the existing Tax
Compliance Declaration Form and allows service providers to check their
compliance status at any time online, and obtain a TCV number to provide to
procuring ministries.
Service providers in
RAQS are required to complete a TCV at the time of registration and on an annual
basis. Tax compliance verification is
required to be eligible to bid on MTO contracts.
