Tax law 2025 FCA 232

Minister of National Revenue v. Shopify Inc.

A preservation order was justified: the requested order is prohibitive in substance and subject to the ordinary interlocutory test; despite the Minister’s unexplained delay, deletion of inactive-account data would cause irreparable harm to the public interest in verifying tax compliance, and the balance of convenience favours preservation provided the order’s scope and terms are adapted to remedy vagueness and limit burden on Shopify; the Minister’s undertaking should remain and costs are not awarded.

  • Interlocutory injunction
  • Ascertainable group under income tax act and excise tax act
