CRA (Revenue Canada) -Can they collect money?

[August1991]

In Quebec, the agents know what I'm doing.

The federal bureaucracy -federal agents.

=====

I hate paying taxes but in Quebec, I receive smart letters.

Do you receive tax letters from Ontario, Alberta - heck, PEI people?

[August1991]

IME, you can delay/avoid paying federal taxes. The federal bureaucrats are clueless, working from home.....

Provincial taxes? They will send you a letter.

They can collect.  How much energy they put into it is another question.  They know how much money you're making, so they're not going to spend effort chasing you down for tens of thousands if they know you're broke and can't pay. 

If you're screwing them around and it's a decent amount of money, they'll come, and they'll make you miserable.

Mulroney designed the GST in a special way.

Quebec bureaucrats collect the federal GST.

Well, once you are on their radar....they are or can be a lot more intense than you want.

They will be in your shorts looking for the clues LOL

You can just keep ignoring those letters forever. Nothing will happen to you. You're a Sovereign Citizen, right?

Maybe that's the lesson of the federal CRA people.

Like most federal States (Germany, Australia even Russia), an individual must face different tax regimes.

In Montreal, I deal with a city tax regime, a school tax, a province tax system and a federal tax system. Each level has its own way of doing things. (BTW, this is true in Russia and Canada and the US. Our Canadian CPP/RRQ system works. Putin made the Russian system work better.)

Anyway....

The federal CRA people are clueless.

Herbie,

I am not ignoring letters from the CRA. The CRA is not sending me letters

In fact, I think that I owe them more, I want to pay them a tax.

I am asking the federal CRA people to clarify the situation and answer me.

Local tax collectors know my situation. I pay with a debit card.

What lesson?

Governments, like elephants, never forget, especially you owe them something.

Disagree. Local tax collectors work better. I pay my property tax in person - this is how the Putin-system collects taxes.

The CRA bureaucrats (now working from home, feeding their dog_ } Clueless.
