About the MG-SPS Classification at Canada Revenue Agency
The MG-SPS (Management, Services and Programs) group covers CRA's middle management layer: the supervisors, team leaders, and section heads who run the agency's operational programs. MG-SPS employees manage teams of SP-classified officers across tax centres, tax services offices, and headquarters program areas. The group is distinct from CRA's executive ranks (EX) and from the Audit, Financial and Scientific Management (MG-AFS) track, which covers managers of audit and professional staff rather than program operations.
MG-SPS-01 ($67,133 to $86,542) and MG-SPS-02 ($73,410 to $94,641) are first-line supervisor and team leader roles, typically managing 5 to 15 SP-classified officers. MG-SPS-03 ($78,956 to $101,787) and MG-SPS-04 ($83,921 to $113,104) cover section managers responsible for larger operational units. MG-SPS-05 ($100,671 to $135,682) is the senior manager level, often heading a major program area within a tax centre or regional office. MG-SPS-06 ($110,624 to $149,100) is the most senior MG-SPS classification, an assistant-director-equivalent position responsible for multi-section programs or technical operational oversight.
MG-SPS falls under the PSAC-UTE collective agreement as a Management Group within the CRA bargaining structure, unlike the TBS EX classification, which is non-unionized. The nine-step grid at each level (longer than most TBS classifications, which typically run five steps) reflects CRA's longer in-band progression model. MG-SPS appointments typically require demonstrated team leadership experience at the SP-08 level or above, and most MG-SPS-01 hires come through internal promotion from senior SP positions rather than external recruitment. The pay differential between MG-SPS-01 max ($86,542) and SP-06 max ($86,184) is intentionally narrow, reflecting CRA's compression at the working-supervisor transition.
