CRA writes off $133M owed by one taxpayer

[@exploreandunravel5773]

While the ordinary canadians struggle to live after paying taxes.

[@charlinex5186]

So true!

[@galitovgervacio1688]

That’s very much unfair esp. to all middle income like me, working like a grinder and taxed heavily while Ottawa just wright off that debts that made millions or billions who filed bankruptcy but having a wonderful life??? That’s WONDERFUL Ottawa and keep on bringing REFUGEES THAT ARE DRAINING THE TAX THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE OUR PENSIONS AND LIVING A BETTER LIFE THAN WE ARE WHO WORK LIFE A HORSE!

[@RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS]

Well said

[@theangrycheeto]

You sound like a refugee yourself

[@jamescampbell5374]

Does anyone have a speck of faith left in any of our Governments? Oh Canada, my heart aches for the.

[@zombiesir]

Not one ounce

[@jennifertaylor2893]

No,No,No

[@masaharumorimoto4761]

Trudope was my last hope... All hope is gone now. I'm totally jaded now.

[@smzzms2523]

You can thank the Liberal Circus for that

[@rollingthunderinho]

SMZ ZMS more like conservative circus

[@MRayner59]

Completely unsurprising. There's one set of rules for the rich and powerful and another whole different one (infinitely shittier and utterly merciless) that applies to us lowly proles.

[@asmrfan6543]

I was fined $100 because of a digital filing (which I have email records that prove it was transmitted), got lost in the their system. Either there is some shenanigans going on here, or they spend so little on their IT bills, they can issue more fines as a result. I am gonna argue the $100 fine, but I suuuuure would like to know at least the nature of the $133M write off here.

[@OldWolf9226]

No more handouts to any corporations.

[@penvon]

No wonder Ukraine elected a comedian.We’ve lost faith in the typical politician.

[@Cafe-O-Milk]

Our political parties are so lame, it's exhausting.

[@cherylsibson2529]

OK, this makes it abundantly crystal clear that in Canada, we have a two tier legal system using the legal monetary system, which isn't spoken about. on grid or off grid congratulations on getting the money write off. what difference did I make?

[@cindylengert5327]

Wtf! If I have to pay my outstanding taxes then so should this company /person. Even of you declare bankruptcy, it is paid. 😠😠😠

[@lostwanderer8651]

If you're being told you owe "taxes", get a lawyer and sue. It's time the people take back their livlihoods.

[@JM-lw6py]

Did that work for you?

[@vizzo1138]

@@JM-lw6py Sry, he's busy in jail atm. He'll reply in 5 years.

[@PrussianZwei]

133 million by one tax payer. Any normal citizen very unlikely so betting its a politician who owed that. Favour the rich punish the poor.

[@eurobum2012]

Probably SNC Lavalin

[@888Longball]

We need to scour the annual reports of likely companies as their is likely a note about this.

[@moviezaftermidnight6348]

10 years ago they audited me forcing me to file a t2125 form, statement of business activities, at which point they re-filed my taxes and neglected to include WITB & OTB with which I would have received a refund, but instead they claimed that I owed taxes where they then stole my next years tax refunds to pay for their own mistake.. I am filing charges to take them to court over this... they have refused the past 10 years to realize their mistake..

[@JM-lw6py]

How is it going I'm looking to sue these tyrants I've been sending registered letters requesting answers and they've ignored everyone of them and sent be a notice owing 40k how can you just come up with a debt and not respond with answers about the debt. I'm going to send them a bill for 200k and if they dont pay I'll be filling a affidavit and a lien in court play the same game these fucks play

[@brianmcintyre8563]

I thought Trudeau said his govt was going to be transparent about everything. Yea right.

[@philhutchings5774]

This year I should just send a letter asking for a write off like the rich are entitled to.

[@TheSummit396]

why are all the comments turned off for any thing on youtube from CRA?? Because they know they are doing the citizens wrong. Very negative experience with them.

[@nonenone4015]

In the meantime that garnish people's pay over Christmas unbelievable

[@RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS]

How about my 20 grand from last year I paid..get rid of the liberals

[@XJLCA]

Cassandra As if you know what action the conservative would take, you don’t . You are a troll !

[@loraxdavewalters2696]

I'm a dual citizen, anything I earn here in Canada can get taxed by my old country. If I earn more than $250k, I could get up to 50% taxed. The only way to avoid that is to file a mountain of paperwork to make a charitable public interest group out of everything I spend money on. I am privately disinterested in doing so, but if I make it to that tax bracket, I should just to prevent my money from becoming foreign aid. Canada and my home country have homeless and poverty issues that need to be addressed by government. Churches can't do all the work. I would rather spend money buying locally produced food at market price from stores and distribute it through places that already feed hungry people. 1 in 5 Canadian children are going hungry. The government puts out that number and is more concerned with buying failing projects and handing tax breaks to rich companies. I was shocked to learn that unless you earn more than the $250k per year magical number, you are just middle class. The legal system that the super wealthy have looks pretty lenient.

[@janiceulaayuangnatuk4708]

And people who owe thousands are gonna be forced constantly.

[@given-namesurname5740]

So who's getting fired for this incompetence?

[@Glory-to-God.]

its just animal nature..always prey on only the weak ones in the herd

[@philhutchings5774]

how about I get the write off? it would be cheaper than this... actually thousands of Canadians could avoid paying tax instead.

[@ronbonora7872]

you will get garnisheed not a write off!

[@sniffinggluewontkeepfamili3387]

If you don't even know whether it was a corporation or not (almost without a doubt was) then it's not very honest to just say "one taxpayer", is it?

[@PhantomSinger1]

This must be the latest tax evasion tactic: ignoring tax collections until they give up.

[@hhiippiittyy]

If you owe the bank $100,000, they own you. If you owe the bank $100million, you own the bank. Same thing with taxes, apparently.

[@wildandliving]

Probably SNC

[@Rooted_Locs]

Since they can afford to wipe someone's 133mil, they shouldn't ask me to pay a dime extra for the bus, I ain't tipping nobody either, don't raise my interest rates...and bring back my OSAP

[@TheJudgement01]

How many offshore accounts does this corporation hold

[@GeniusKashmiri]

That big a write-off clearly needs to be made public, specially if it was for a Corporation that it was given to. We would need to know which Corp. got it and why did it get it?

[@ronbonora7872]

that will never happen. good luck with that!

[@mikewebber1085]

Trudeau to Scheer, "You can't be lying to Canadians". Trudeau to Canadians, " I will let you know what you need to know, in the meantime go watch a hockey game".

[@zombiesir]

Unfuckingbelievable

[@JerkyJones100]

Someone better be going to jail.

[@woxwell3684]

Can you say SNC-Lavalin scandal connected? Yes you can.

[@SyntaxOverflow]

Part of me feels like this was someone who didn't pay taxes their whole life lol

[@TheEndofZombieShakespeare]

Probably Justin Trudeau himself.

[@martinkwok8]

I just need ONE Million

[@WhileYouWereSheeping]

[@S0NOSMANLl]

Did I hear that : "Budget balances itself" . wrote $133M off but no longer kids art or sports can get tax break!!!

[@iamallama77]

What a joke

[@conjureup6723]

Gotta love Trudeau′s murky definition of ʹtransparencyʹ.

[@sharonstone8430]

..... and yet they're always hounding me, and I get a refund every year!

[@theylied1776]

So that's $133 million Canadian Dollars?

[@lamondhaughton1598]

Where is my writeoff Wtf I don't owe nearly as much. Money isn't real re ones in power bail out and write off who they want we end up paying with our "labor" for it. If this transaction was on the blockchain we would all see who is benefiting from it. Criminals!

[@samakadi7148]

Canada, it's time to wake up! I can’t believe it! some families own a house and have a business outside of Canada and are considered low-income and take all benefits. Please give these benefits to those who need them.

[@jaytree]

In the us we call it a bail out.

[@lamondhaughton1598]

They are sayingbeho it is if u read between the line is was taxes from either alcohol or automotive.. Now who do we know is shutting down major plants and restructing their business? Listen to 1:06 its GM they are speaking about .

[@FrankWu]

I believe that Fines and penalty should used and imposed in a correct way to discourage people doing the wrong thing and breaking laws. I believe parking and Toll Roads ETC E Toll Fines in many country around world especially in European country and USA ,Canada and Australia is a cash grab Revenue making and what they doing is very unethical.!!!!

[@warzone822]

We have to respect the tax system, now let's ignore the tax system for this 1 specific guy

[@algow5988]

How much goes to the Trudeau Foundation?

[@masaharumorimoto4761]

For Fuck Sake... So tired of corporations being let off the hook.

[@roytooshort]

The guy who's authorizing these write offs is obviously getting a small cut of the money saved by these billionaires and companies. Simple really, he approves to save the company 133M, the company will give him 2M or something along that line. Both parties benefit. Corrupt world.

[@TheSummit396]

we all complain but we all file in single order and have out money taken away with out a say.

[@KingPopinLockin]

Obviously it's some company that owes this money, no ordinary person could reach 100 million in tax debt. Maybe if it was a farmer owning tons of land not paying property taxes then maybe.

[@itsfissy4057]

"bill morneau quietly reported this write off" oh sorry did you want him to shout it from the roof tops? and what is the appropriate thing to do after writing that off call your mother and let her know? get real cbc.

[@jjjj-bb8gn]

Omar, was it you? 😂

[@joeshuge]

Yet the $20 grand i owe is more important???😡

[@backtoobasics]

good ol hand outs. wheres mine?oh thats right im a tax payer, lucky to beale to take my boots off for a minute and wiggle the toes in the grass before i head back at er.. guess thats livin!! stay safe canada and do what you can to be aware of what is actually happingin nowadays, this election is major, can not setup the next generation like we were left with in the early 2000's.. thats right i remeber the S.S Martin and its cargo.. but i digress.. stay safe!!!!

[@NegatingSilence]

It doesn't matter what the explanation for this one little example is, in the grand scheme of things. In the grand scheme of things, the country is pathetic and practically wishes to be taken advantage of.

[@mathewscott9453]
