First, as Canadians we pay way to much in taxes, we fund way to many social programs and support special groups. our government waste to much and what do we get in return. the majority of those that owe are tired of paying out and not seeing a return. I say that government is to big, we should only pay for things like health, education, defense, policing. drop the tax rates and guess what, more people would then spend thus creating jobs. but when the government continue to waste, give to special groups and gives to other countries. well then we are sick of it and don't wish to pay

Eugene Eklund

@Dan Ozzie
It would be nice to have more info. For example, break it down to the different tax levels. Also, does this include provincial taxes? Break it down by province as well.

David Amos

@Eugene Eklund Methinks if I were to provide more info I would be blocked in a heartbeat but anyone can Google the following names together N'esy Pas?

Methinks if you and other concerned folks scroll up and check my comment within this thread you may enjoy finding on the Internet a copy of an email I got about KPMG and abusive tax schemes from the National Revenue Minister Diane Lebouthillier last year N'esy Pas?

Joyce Hope Shortell

Morneau & Trudeau went after small businesses with their proposed tax while billions remain outstanding in taxes owed to the government. We do not need a more bloated government to collect.

Jim Palmer

@Joyce Hope Shortell

"The amount of tax that Canadians admit to owing Ottawa but haven't paid rose to a record $43.8 billion this year, despite a Liberal government promise to "stabilize" that sum".
Add this to the list of CRA horror stories; the CRA is in desperate need of a complete overhaul and house cleaning, top to bottom/inside out.

"A $351 million tax-collection program started in 2016 under National Revenue Minister Diane Lebouthillier has not stopped increases in the amount of uncollected taxes".
As part of that overhaul/house cleaning, Lebouthillier needs to be fired and replaced with someone capable of doing the job.

David Amos

@Jim Palmer "As part of that overhaul/house cleaning, Lebouthillier needs to be fired and replaced with someone capable of doing the job"

Methinks folks should have Googled Diane Lebouthillier, KPMG and David Raymond Amos long ago instead of calling me names N'esy Pas?

 
Steve Timmins

After watching your tax dollars being spent on a vacation to a billionaire's island or $17K for the PM's chef friend to go to India or simply $7,500 on a swing set for the PM's kids it makes many Canadians think why should they be paying their taxes if the leader has no respect for it.

Respect for tax dollars starts at the top. $7500 maybe a drop in the bucket but to most Canadian families that's a hell of a lot of money.

Michael Murphy

@Steve Timmins When did Harper and Mulroney respect our tax dollars? They created 75% of our federal debt but lets complain about $7500?

Ridiculous

David Amos

@Michael Murphy "When did Harper and Mulroney respect our tax dollars?"

Methinks you are too funny. You fail when you make fun of my comments because you have bragged that I have you mistaken for another dude named Murphy. That may be true but not long ago I recall a liberal Attorney General with the same name as you taking a long walk in the snow just like his hero Trudeau The Elder then suddenly quitting when his party needed him the most. Then a few years later he wanted to be its leader and was surprised that he lost to a newbie lawyer named Gallant. At least you cannot deny that these are CBC stories the liberal lawyer Michael Murphy N'esy Pas?

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/n-b-justice-minister-quits-suddenly-1.936157

"There are no legal issues of any nature whatsoever so that should be clear."

(Yea Right Anyone can Google 3 names Michael Murphy David Amos RCMP)

The story goes on

"Former environment minister T.J. Burke stepped down on July 24, only a month after being moved from the justice portfolio. Burke said he was going to return to practising law, which he had to give up when he accepted a cabinet position in 2006. Murphy's exit from the cabinet has opened the door for Moncton East MLA Chris Collins, who has been promoted from the backbench to become the new minister of local government. Murphy's cabinet responsibilities are being split up among three cabinet ministers. Social Development Minister Kelly Lamrock is taking over as the province's attorney general."

Chris Collins TJ Burke today

Never forget that the current Finance Minister is in this list.

Brent Marshall

A bloated, inefficient, cruel, and toxic agency.

David Amos

@Brent Marshall YUP

  
Michael Flinn

A reporter writing this story would ask the obvious question - how is it possible that "average" Canadians owe $44 billion in unpaid taxes? The answer is obvious, as a number of commenters have observed - large,well connected debtors are being given preferential treatment.

David Amos

@Michael Flinn "The answer is obvious, as a number of commenters have observed - large,well connected debtors are being given preferential treatment"

I wholeheartedly agree. Methinks the CRA can simply put a lock on the little guy's bank account and scoop his money They have a much harder time with wealthy dudes who can afford powerful lawyers N'esy Pas?

  
Brent Marshall

I have zero faith in this government and their abilities.

That entire cabinet is ridiculous. Chosen for optics over abilities and qualifications.

Eileen Kinley

@Brent Marshall

Per this article, the CRA is on track to meet their target.

Justin Huila

@Eileen Kinley Dream on.

David Amos

@Justin Huila Methinks the lady doth jest too much N'esy Pas?

 
Douglas Fowler

500 additional auditors added to chase down delinquents and things get worse!!! Good job Libs!

Brent Marshall

@Douglas Fowler

Agree. Brutal.

Ross Johnson

@Brent Marshall What's really brutal is that you CPCers fluff off the pre- Trudeau years as if this only started to happen after September 2015 and then expect everyone to buy what you're collectively selling. Your pals may well do so but not everyone's a low info tax payer.

David Amos

@Brent Marshall Methinks folks need to relax and enjoy the circus After all we are paying for it rather dearly N'esy Pas?

 
Eric Tattersall

A large part of the problem is that the CRA spends a large part of it's time going after the "little guy" because the "big guys" are harder to get.

David Amos

@Eric Tattersall Oh So True

Subject: Your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes - 2017-02631
To: "motomaniac333@gmail.com" <motomaniac333@gmail.com>

Mr. David Raymond Amos
motomaniac333@gmail.com


Dear Mr. Amos:

Thank you for your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes,
and for your understanding regarding the delay of this response.

This is an opportunity for me to address your concerns about the way
the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) deals with aggressive tax planning,
tax avoidance, and tax evasion by targeting individuals and groups
that promote schemes intended to avoid payment of tax. It is also an
opportunity for me to present the Government of Canada’s main
strategies for ensuring fairness for all taxpayers.

The CRA’s mission is to preserve the integrity of Canada’s tax system,
and it is taking concrete and effective action to deal with abusive
tax schemes. Through federal budget funding in 2016 and 2017, the
government has committed close to $1 billion in cracking down on tax
evasion and combatting tax avoidance at home and through the use of
offshore transactions. This additional funding is expected to generate
federal revenues of $2.6 billion over five years for Budget 2016, and
$2.5 billion over five years for Budget 2017.

More precisely, the CRA is cracking down on tax cheats by hiring more
auditors, maintaining its underground economy specialist teams,
increasing coverage of aggressive goods and service tax/harmonized
sales tax planning, increasing coverage of multinational corporations
and wealthy individuals, and taking targeted actions aimed at
promoters of abusive tax schemes.

On the offshore front, the CRA continues to develop tools to improve
its focus on high‑risk taxpayers. It is also considering changes to
its Voluntary Disclosures Program following the first set of program
recommendations received from an independent Offshore Compliance
Advisory Committee. In addition, the CRA is leading international
projects to address the base erosion and profit shifting initiative of
the G20 and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development, and is collaborating with treaty partners to address the
Panama Papers leaks.

These actions are evidence of the government’s commitment to
protecting tax fairness. The CRA has strengthened its intelligence and
technical capacities for the early detection of abusive tax
arrangements and deterrence of those who participate in them. To
ensure compliance, it has increased the number of actions aimed at
promoters who use illegal schemes. These measures include increased
audits of such promoters, improved information gathering, criminal
investigations where warranted, and better communication with
taxpayers.

To deter potential taxpayer involvement in these schemes, the CRA is
increasing notifications and warnings through its communications
products. It also seeks partnerships with tax preparers, accountants,
and community groups so that they can become informed observers who
can educate their clients.

The CRA will assess penalties against promoters and other
representatives who make false statements involving illegal tax
schemes. The promotion of tax schemes to defraud the government can
lead to criminal investigations, fingerprinting, criminal prosecution,
court fines, and jail time.

Between April 1, 2011, and March 31, 2016, the CRA’s criminal
investigations resulted in the conviction of 42 Canadian taxpayers for
tax evasion with links to money and assets held offshore. In total,
the $34 million in evaded taxes resulted in court fines of $12 million
and 734 months of jail time.

When deciding to pursue compliance actions through the courts, the CRA
consults the Department of Justice Canada to choose an appropriate
solution. Complex tax-related litigation is costly and time consuming,
and the outcome may be unsuccessful. All options to recover amounts
owed are considered.

More specifically, in relation to the KPMG Isle of Man tax avoidance
scheme, publicly available court records show that it is through the
CRA’s efforts that the scheme was discovered. The CRA identified many
of the participants and continues to actively pursue the matter. The
CRA has also identified at least 10 additional tax structures on the
Isle of Man, and is auditing taxpayers in relation to these
structures.

To ensure tax fairness, the CRA commissioned an independent review in
March 2016 to determine if it had acted appropriately concerning KPMG
and its clients. In her review, Ms. Kimberley Brooks, Associate
Professor and former Dean of the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie
University, examined the CRA’s operational processes and decisions in
relation to the KPMG offshore tax structure and its efforts to obtain
the names of all taxpayers participating in the scheme. Following this
review, the report, released on May 5, 2016, concluded that the CRA
had acted appropriately in its management of the KPMG Isle of Man
file. The report found that the series of compliance measures the CRA
took were in accordance with its policies and procedures. It was
concluded that the procedural actions taken on the KPMG file were
appropriate given the facts of this particular case and were
consistent with the treatment of taxpayers in similar situations. The
report concluded that actions by CRA employees were in accordance with
the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct. There was no
evidence of inappropriate interaction between KPMG and the CRA
employees involved in the case.

Under the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct, all CRA
employees are responsible for real, apparent, or potential conflicts
of interests between their current duties and any subsequent
employment outside of the CRA or the Public Service of Canada.
Consequences and corrective measures play an important role in
protecting the CRA’s integrity.

The CRA takes misconduct very seriously. The consequences of
misconduct depend on the gravity of the incident and its repercussions
on trust both within and outside of the CRA. Misconduct can result in
disciplinary measures up to dismissal.

All forms of tax evasion are illegal. The CRA manages the Informant
Leads Program, which handles leads received from the public regarding
cases of tax evasion across the country. This program, which
coordinates all the leads the CRA receives from informants, determines
whether there has been any non-compliance with tax law and ensures
that the information is examined and conveyed, if applicable, so that
compliance measures are taken. This program does not offer any reward
for tips received.

The new Offshore Tax Informant Program (OTIP) has also been put in
place. The OTIP offers financial compensation to individuals who
provide information related to major cases of offshore tax evasion
that lead to the collection of tax owing. As of December 31, 2016, the
OTIP had received 963 calls and 407 written submissions from possible
informants. Over 218 taxpayers are currently under audit based on
information the CRA received through the OTIP.

With a focus on the highest-risk sectors nationally and
internationally and an increased ability to gather information, the
CRA has the means to target taxpayers who try to hide their income.
For example, since January 2015, the CRA has been collecting
information on all international electronic funds transfers (EFTs) of
$10,000 or more ending or originating in Canada. It is also adopting a
proactive approach by focusing each year on four jurisdictions that
raise suspicion. For the Isle of Man, the CRA audited 3,000 EFTs
totalling $860 million over 12 months and involving approximately 800
taxpayers. Based on these audits, the CRA communicated with
approximately 350 individuals and 400 corporations and performed 60
audits.

In January 2017, I reaffirmed Canada’s important role as a leader for
tax authorities around the world in detecting the structures used for
aggressive tax planning and tax evasion. This is why Canada works
daily with the Joint International Tax Shelter Information Centre
(JITSIC), a network of tax administrations in over 35 countries. The
CRA participates in two expert groups within the JITSIC and leads the
working group on intermediaries and proponents. This ongoing
collaboration is a key component of the CRA’s work to develop strong
relationships with the international community, which will help it
refine the world-class tax system that benefits all Canadians.

The CRA is increasing its efforts and is seeing early signs of
success. Last year, the CRA recovered just under $13 billion as a
result of its audit activities on the domestic and offshore fronts.
Two-thirds of these recoveries are the result of its audit efforts
relating to large businesses and multinational companies.

But there is still much to do, and additional improvements and
investments are underway.

Tax cheats are having a harder and harder time hiding. Taxpayers who
choose to promote or participate in malicious and illegal tax
strategies must face the consequences of their actions. Canadians
expect nothing less. I invite you to read my most recent statement on
this matter at canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/news/2017/03/
statement_from_thehonourabledianelebouthillierministerofnational.

Thank you for taking the time to write. I hope the information I have
provided is helpful.

Sincerely,

The Honourable Diane Lebouthillier
Minister of National Revenue

RCMP faces $1.1B lawsuit over bullying, harassment claims dating back decades
Potential class action could represent thousands of officers, civilian
employees, students and volunteers

Canada's national police force is facing a mammoth $1.1 billion
lawsuit — believed to be the biggest in the force's history — over
bullying and harassment claims that could eventually represent
thousands of male and female RCMP officers, civilian staff, and even
volunteers dating back decades.

Two veteran male RCMP officers are the lead plaintiffs. They recount
workplace horror stories and health problems they claim stem from
pervasive and "systematic bullying, intimidation and harassment"
within the force, according to the 44-page suit filed Friday in federal court.

In an exclusive interview, Staff Sgt. Geoffrey Greenwood recalled the
fallout he says he endured after reporting allegations of bribery and
corruption against fellow drug officers in 2008.

"It rocked me to my core," said Greenwood, who is now with the RCMP
detachment in Red Deer, Alta.

"I was kind of demonized and I was the one that was left to be the
problem, and really all I did was my job."

harassed, abused

This lawsuit is expected to eclipse previous harassment cases against
the RCMP, including the $100 million settlement in 2016 for the more
than 3,100 female officers who claim discrimination and sexual harassment on 

the job.

The new lawsuit seeks compensation for potentially tens of thousands
of people, on a force that currently has 29,751 employees, not to
mention thousands more dating back decades.

If the court certifies it as a class action, it could cover anyone who
has ever worked for the RCMP and suffered what former commissioner Bob
Paulson acknowledged in 2016 was a "culture of bullying and
intimidation and general harassment."

None of the allegations in the lawsuit has been tested in court. The
federal court has only just received the claim and the government and
RCMP have not yet filed a response.

Officer claims he was 'villainized'

Sgt. Greenwood's troubles began in 2007 when he was based in
Yellowknife, N.W.T. He was leading a major drug and money-laundering
investigation across the North.

According to the lawsuit, Greenwood was assigned to look into
allegations from a woman arrested for money-laundering who alleged
some RCMP officers were on the take.

She claimed one officer was paid $60,000 "in exchange for information
about the identity of RCMP undercover agents, surveillances, and
upcoming drug raids," the lawsuit reads.

    Your whole character is torn apart and stripped down and you're villainized.
    - RCMP Staff Sgt. Geoffrey Greenwood

Greenwood also listened to audio surveillance tapes implicating
several more officers.

Bolstered by a second team of RCMP investigators who believed the
woman, Greenwood reported it all to his bosses.

According to the lawsuit, Greenwood quickly found himself on the
receiving end of reprisals and was ordered to drop his investigation.

"That manager wanted to bury that issue. And for me, that is not in my
fibre," Greenwood said in an interview.  "I can't cover up something
like that."

The lawsuit alleges he faced trumped-up internal charges that were an
"egregious form of bullying" intended to punish him.

He was eventually transferred out of the North in 2010 after allegedly
being ostracized and ridiculed by his bosses.

"I ended up kind of leaving a shell of a person," Greenwood said
"Your whole character is torn apart and stripped down and you're
villainized."

'Blacklisted for speaking out'

Sgt. Todd Gray, the lawsuit's second lead plaintiff, had what appeared
to be the postcard-perfect job back in the mid-1990s as a member of
the RCMP Musical Ride.

"This is the image of the RCMP. That's just the show," Gray said in an
interview.  "But the struggles that go on with travelling, and
favouritism, and bullying, and being blacklisted for speaking out ...
those are the things that don't come out."

Gray alleges in this lawsuit that on a number of occasions, he was
forced to ride in the horse trailer on long overnight trips, resting
on a bunk next to the horses without heat, electricity or access to a
washroom.

    Culture of bullying at root of RCMP harassment allegations,
commissioner says

Gray alleges that in 1998, during his final year on the RCMP Musical
Ride, after injuring his back, he was ordered to continue riding and
was intentionally assigned a horse known to buck and kick. In one
practice the horse reared up, toppled over and landed on his right
leg, injuring him, the lawsuit alleges.

In the early 2000s, Gray was assigned to a small detachment in Nunavut.

Gray claims in the court pleading that one of his superiors
"frequently abused the local First Nations populations."

"[The commander] ending up kicking Mr. Gray in the face when he tried
to kick a 16 year old First Nations boy in the ribs," the lawsuit
reads.

    RCMP's recent history includes hundreds of sexual harassment,
abuse and bullying accusations

Gray says he reported the incident to more senior managers. He alleges
that he soon found himself ostracized, denied promotion, and given a
performance review from the detachment commander that concluded he
should be fired.

Now 53 and a sergeant in Airdrie, Alta., Gray says he's considering
retirement given the 'cumulative' psychological toll.

"No matter where I go, no matter what province I was in, what division
I was in, the same issues are always there," he said in an interview.
"It doesn't change across the country."
Nowhere for RCMP staff to complain

In 2016, facing allegations of sexual harassment involving hundreds of
female officers, then RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson testified before
parliament admitting the force had profound problems.

"It can't be understood as a sexual harassment problem," Paulson told
the Commons Public Safety committee. "Sexual harassment has no place
in the organization — don't get me wrong — but it's the culture of
bullying, intimidation, and general harassment that I think needs
everybody's focus and attention."

    RCMP apology, compensation fund comes without harassers held accountable

The new $1.1 billion dollar lawsuit seizes on Paulson's statement and
cites a long list of formal reports and studies that also conclude the
RCMP suffers from widespread workplace harassment.

A key argument in the claim is that until 2015, RCMP employees were
precluded from forming a union and so had nowhere to complain other
than to their direct bosses.

bullying, discrimination and harassment. (Adrian Wyld/CP)

"Complaints of any kind were treated as an affront to the chain of
command in the paramilitary structure of the RCMP, leading to direct
and indirect retaliatory conduct," the lawsuit alleges.

The suit seeks $1 billion in damages for lost of income due to lost
promotions, early retirements and losses to pensions.  It also seeks
$100 million in punitive damages, and an additional $30 million to
compensate family members of RCMP employees adversely affected.

Canada Revenue Agency falling behind as uncollected taxes owed rise to $44 billion

More Canadians and corporations failed to pay Canada Revenue Agency upon filing returns

The amount of tax that Canadians admit to owing Ottawa but haven't paid rose to a record $43.8 billion this year, despite a Liberal government promise to "stabilize" that sum.

And an internal Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) projection obtained by CBC News says the amount of unpaid tax owed is set to hit more than $47 billion by 2020.

The steady increase in the tax debt — up by about $2 billion annually since the Liberals came to power — comes despite a major investment in the 2016 federal budget to wrestle down fast-rising levels of uncollected tax debt.

The rise in the tax debt level over the last decade or so appears to be linked to major staff reductions at CRA under the former Conservative government's deficit-cutting program.

The 2016 Liberal budget gave the CRA $351.6 million over five years "to improve its ability to collect outstanding tax debts."

And the agency says it's on track to meet its target of collecting $7.4 billion in additional tax debt over those five years.

But that effort hasn't stopped the total from growing — by 5.6 per cent in 2017-2018 alone, far faster than inflation or the economy itself.

Undisputed amounts

The agency currently does not collect about $8.40 for every $100 in taxes that are due.

'Tax debt' refers to undisputed amounts of income tax, GST and other taxes owed by Canadians – as well as penalties and interest – but does not include taxes due that Canadians have challenged and not paid.

Unlike the fast-rising tax debt, that 'disputed' tax sum has stabilized at about $14 billion over the last three years.

Tax debt is also distinct from undeclared taxes owed in the underground economy, which Statistics Canada says hid some $45.6 billion in economic activity in 2013. It is also separate from the unknown amount of tax evaded through the use of offshore tax havens and other tax dodges — something which other CRA programs are pursuing.

Intake has been higher than our capacity to assign accounts to officers.- October 2017 internal CRA document indicating a lack of staff to collect tax debts

Indeed, the agency says its success in rooting out some underground activity and tax-avoidance has contributed in part to the growth in the tax debt.

But an internal document suggests the CRA still lacks the staff to keep up with the growth in the uncollected tax amount.

"During the first four months of the 2017/18 [fiscal year], intake has been higher than our capacity to assign accounts to officers," said an October 2017 update on 'Managing the Tax Debt.'

"The number of unassigned accounts increased YOY [year over year] (July) by approximately 23%" — or about 350,000 unassigned accounts.

CBC News obtained the update through the Access to Information Act.

Half owed by individuals

Close to half of the unpaid tax debt is owed by individual Canadians. Corporations and businesses account for the remainder, which includes unpaid GST and payroll deductions not turned over to Ottawa.

The internal document indicates that more Canadians are filing their income tax returns each year without paying the tax they owe. Last year, there was a 10 per cent rise in these so-called 'debit returns' — up by about 600,000 returns — which added $1.2 billion to the tax debt total.

Jeremy Ghio, press secretary for National Revenue Minister Diane Lebouthillier, said the agency "continues to develop and implement collection strategies to improve its capacity to manage tax debt and avoid new debt from accumulating."

Ghio noted that, until Budget 2016, the tax debt had grown by an average of 7.8 per cent annually. CRA's new resources helped reduce the growth rate to 5.6 per cent in 2017-2018, he said.

A CRA watchdog group said the rapid rise in the tax debt over the last decade or so is a direct result of public service downsizing – a problem the Liberals have still not resolved.

"It coincides directly with dramatic cuts to staff and office closures," Diana Gibson of Canadians For Tax Fairness said in an interview from Victoria.

"We do not have adequate staffing levels to actually tackle the debt."
