CRA is running a public consultation on automatic tax filing. You can fill it out here.
Here’s the verbiage about the project
It’s unbelievable that Canada makes people with trivial tax needs jump through so many hoops. If someone is elderly and poor, they need to file taxes to receive their full benefits. That’s a huge barrier to many people.
Anyone wondering about the authenticity of the survey link - it’s linked on canada.ca so it seems legit.
It doesn’t ask for any identifying information either, so it seems pretty safe.
Yeah. Just province, household income and age group.
Automatic tax filing is really only being considered low income people. Shame. Anyone who has T4s should be able to have taxes filed automatically.
