Define Legal Authoritiesre

A legal authority is a government or legal body charged with powers to make laws, levy and collect fees and taxes, and remit financial appropriations for a given jurisdiction. Use the Manage Legal Authorities task to create legal authorities.

It is optional to define legal authorities for Canada. Some examples of legal authorities that you can set up for Canada include: Canada Revenue Agency, Revenu Quèbec, Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, Ministry of Finance, and so on.
