Really starting to hate Canada. Because I worked harder to grow my business, I'm getting taxed a lot more.

You want high level of stress, try calling the CRA and dealing with that hell fire.

Had to vent there. 😡🤬

Punishing success and reward failure ☹️

I know exactly what you’re talking about buddy, we just finished up our year end. I used to call them, but I do t bother with it anymore. Doesn’t get ya anywhere.

I absolutely can’t stand that the want us and other companies to remit our taxes ahead of time. People aren’t going to take much more…

Pure theft!!!

I feel your pain. 🫶🏻 If there’s anything I can do to help you let me know.

Vent all you want. I’m in a venting mood myself.

20 months ago, I attempted to log on to the CRA portal and change our corporate head office address. To my surprise, CRA has removed me as a Director of my own corporation, and as such, I am unable to advocate on my own behalf, to have myself reinstated.

The other Director of the corporation tried to log on through her portal, and again, she has been removed as a Director of the corporation, and unable to advocate on her own behalf, to have herself reinstated.

Fast forward to the beginning of the year, the accounting firm that we employ who thankfully are still authorized agents of the corporation, have only managed to confirm that, somehow, the spelling of the other director’s name has been changed on the CRA system. CRA will not grant them authorization to fix the spelling of my business partner’s name, or add me back, despite providing every piece of supporting documentation requested, including articles of incorporation, notarized Affidavits, bank statements, and the most up-to-date corporate profile report for Ontario.

I just want to update our corporate head office address!!! 20 years of collecting tax, paying corporate tax, and not a single person in this agency can has even been helpful enough to even make a suggestion for a fix or next steps.

Through our MP, we are now working with the tax ombudsman, to see if we can achieve some type of resolution. If not, we are going to have to take CRA to court, spending thousands more to change a frickin’ address.

All that is to say: vent as much as you like. I totally understand your frustration!

I brother went though a whole thing very similar to your situation. Essentially he had to close down the business and start it under a new name in the end.

I find bureaucracy is a killer. And zero "customer" service too.

That's nuts

🤔

Almost as if someone would rather you NOT run your own business huh? I'm sure the customer service was very mature, knowledgeable and professional as well. Sorry to hear this good sir - know what you mean!

At least there is no fascism in Canada...

I think i would love Canada but I hate the politics and the taxes so same as here really
