The federal government has instructed the Canada Revenue Agency to remove a controversial tax policy interpretation that would have seen employees taxed for discounts they get at work.

To calm a growing controversy, National Revenue Minister Diane Lebouthillier directed the CRA on Wednesday to remove from its website the new wording at the heart of the debate — at least until the change has been reviewed.

Lebouthillier's decision to restore the old wording came after strong objections from the business community.
