Canada Revenue Agency
At the end of last week I received yet another letter from you. This is likely an automatically generated reply. I am willfully assuming it is. You want your money that somehow the System believes I owe. On top of this, you now want an additional $10.36 in interest. Your timing was nearly perfect with this one letter as I received an in person reply from an unpaid advisor just a few days later.
I allowed him to have a copy of the taxes I filed. He calculated them with a slight difference, $7.18 in my favour. So there we have it, you now are over $12,000 apart from not just one Canadian, but two Canadians. This advisor explained to me that my (now former) employer did not take enough taxes off at the source. This doesn't really surprise me one bit knowing them and until now, it was irrelevant to me as having Employment Expenses generally corrects most issues.
What did surprise me is the tax bracket I am in for seven months of work and the one I almost entered into. Now I realize that you do not set the rules but this country is insane. Fifty Percent Income Tax? Then on top of this, there is all the hidden taxes, GST, Property Tax, Carbon Tax? I don't know who is actually running the Government, but I have a feeling that there is almost no one with a true accountability towards the Canadian People.
Now my Advisor told me that he expected it to take close to six months resolve this issue with you. I don't really think he gave me too much attention as he was unpaid, but he had gone back on his original thought. I asked him again for an opinion on what triggered this problem with the CRA. He clearly stated he didn't know as he noticed absolutely nothing out the ordinary within the taxes I submitted and he was actually surprised how well they were done.
So hearing that bit from him made me reflect on my first thoughts when I hadn't heard from you until after the due date of the first letter, the one I never received after being thrown out of my own home. Your Systems to my knowledge are now connected and you had my current address from when I filed my Income Tax. Why on Earth would you mail me within three days of filing during peak time and send it to the wrong address? Furthermore, what happened to that two page personal letter I had sent? Was that just filed away or did anyone of any relevance actually look at it? I admit, it could have been written better.
I wish I wasn't having sleepless nights because I would be much further ahead with many things. One of those is my largest Creditor. I am now close to three weeks behind my last true intent. Furthermore, if I wasn't having sleepless nights, I'd probably be a little more coherent in my decision making and writing skills. Perhaps I should take the time to share something with you, something I communicated to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau which, even if my words did reach him, probably left him unfazed.
Public Servants should be just that, Public Servants. It should be an honour to serve the Canadian Public. We have a problem in every level of Government. It's not just the Liberals. If you want to be Accountable Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, prove it. You people Audit us, we should be able to Audit you. I may as well say this because the System is killing me either way. I look at the Civic programs here and it blows my mind.
Those are the words I communicated to your current Prime Minister. They were not just to him however, they were for every Government worker, every Politician, they were to each and every one of you. Every Public Servant
The damage that you have done to me by not refunding my taxes as per my filed Income Tax is already done. April, March and onwards... was an excruciatingly difficult period. No matter which way I turned, now matter how many times I picked myself up and re-aligned my will with the ever changing path, things just ended in collapse.
I imagine now I just have to fill out a form. Pretty simple. I lost all will after my Credit imploded. I cracked and let tears out talking to ICBC. My credit with them is gone for two years, never mind the Banks, or anyone else at this moment. Perhaps more importantly, this cost Professionally among co-workers. I lost even more friends and more respect among my Peers in my Industry.
Anyways, I am in one of those positions with my livelihood, my life and my perspective where I could easily just say fuck you. I almost died several times, I didn't need this. I know how much "power" you have, but when the entire Governing System seems corrupt... I have to wonder what's truly the right decision.
If this was the only thing on my plate I would simply deal with, however it is not. I likely will not fill out the required form until I develop a personal roadmap, a set of goals to start rebuilding on. I don't even know what bank to send it to and since you no longer send cheques... I will likey develop a plan with small successes getting back on my feet. At this moment, I wouldn't even know how to manage that refund.
So perhaps in the meantime I could ask you to explain what triggered that letter, that wrong mailing and this situation a mere three days after filing, because from my knowledge, no one gets that "Service". I will likely be told it was the computer and I will likely accept that. I do not wish a phone call, I try to avoid calls at this stage.
Thank you.
