August1991 Posted September 5 Author Report Share Posted September 5 IME, you can delay/avoid paying federal taxes. The federal bureaucrats are clueless, working from home..... Provincial taxes? They will send you a letter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonbox Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 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. 2 Quote "A man is no more entitled to an opinion for which he cannot account than he does for a pint of beer for which he cannot pay" - Anonymous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a Sovereign Citizen, right? 🙄 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.

August1991 Posted September 11 Author Report Share Posted September 11 (edited) 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.
