Another F'n Tax season over!

[Mellow Yellow]

Its midnight do you know where your taxes are????

RANT ON

Another tax deadline has come and gone.

I prepared over 300 tax returns this year, with no assistance (I have no staff...too f'n cheap). As I get older I get less tolerant of people and what they expect me to accomplish.
Bitch and complain that they owe. Bitch and complain they don't have a bigger refund.

Does no one realize if you are getting a refund you are getting your own money back? Its not like the government is giving you anything!
Except maybe the Trillium benefits and the Canada Child Benefit.

I am tired....need sleep!

Bright side.....more money for car parts!

RANT OFF


goodnight

I'm happy this year, smallest loan the government ever took from me, $1.46

Had to pay for the first time, no matter how looking at last year's vs this year's return assuming the same percentage taken off it still doesn't add up.

Had to pay nearly 2 grand this year... Glad I get to pay for things like illegal "refugees" coming from the USA and other true-turd things. I swear if I ever get to meet that piece of shit, I'm going to jail with a broken hand from punching right through his ugly skull.

Kevin your saying the same thing I keep telling people. There's no magic bullet for most individuals that results in a huge tax credit beyond either over paying up front or wildly contributing to RRSPs or having school credits, and then like you pointed out you're just getting the money you gave to the government back not new money. I feel like tax planning is a whole lot smarter than relying on returns but no one seems to pay any attention to that.

Have a drink now, those February/March corporate year end returns won't file themselves.

Finished just in time for spring track day.

Thread title should be: another wealth redistribution season over

Post of the day right there.

We work harder so that some don't have to work at all...damn that feels good doesn't it.

Isn't that everyday?

Agreed, the perpetual proctologist exam recurs every day. I’m thinking between fed/provincial tax followed by sales tax when using after tax dollars that the total rate must be approaching 50%.

I’m thinking that either the black market (untaxed) economy or simply swapping over to the social assitance side of the fence may soon be more lucrative.

I've seen numbers higher than 50% fully loaded when you stack up HST, fuel taxes, hotel and F&B taxes, etc, etc. I think there may have been a change to how food is taxed in groceries also because some things that never used to be taxed how have taxes applied....noticed this over the past couple months.

The progression of big data will have interesting implications for the underground economy is they can figure out how to use it effectively. A lot of things can be trackable if you triangulate the appropriate raw data points.

[92redragtop]

I believe it. I hadn’t considered using big data to crack the underground economy, but it sounds very doable unless all cash transactions for both income and purchases. You’d be screwed on big ticket items

My vote is lower taxes for a more prosperous economy and higher total tax revenues, like maybe the recent US example. I forget though this doesn’t fit the socialist agenda

If they figure out how to use big data (eg. vehicle registration, building permits, travel plans, investments, cross-border customs/broker data, etc) and tie back to CRA data and generate patterning and exception triggers they can do it. They haven't figured it out yet but as the public service employee base turns over they may figure out they can do it - the data is there now, they just have to envision the relationships.
