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.
The way I look at it, if we get automatic filing it’s like giving many people a national half-day holiday.
Also one less American cultural norm.
That’s a great way of looking at it.
