Shameful, Shameful, Shameful attacks on low income families by the Reformist Stephen Harper

As the wealthy and corporations are stashing billions in offshore accounts Stephen Harper and the CRA are going after those who can least afford to pay taxes.

Nothing but shameful bullshit and misdirection.... "look how we are catching fraudsters except not the wealthy they are card carrying Conservative donors."

The taxman cometh for thee and me.....

Revenue agency tightens tax volunteer checks

OTTAWA - The federal revenue agency is stepping up scrutiny of volunteers who help prepare income-tax returns after a suspected fraudster was spotted at a tax clinic.

The Canada Revenue Agency is phasing in new screening measures over two years, including a mandatory police records check for the 2016 tax filing season.

For more than 40 years, the agency's community volunteer income-tax program has helped low-income Canadians and others who need assistance filling out their tax forms.

The agency sponsors and promotes the program, but organizations and volunteers are not formally affiliated with the federal department.

"Consequently, it is essential that the CRA continue to work with the community associations and volunteers to protect the integrity of the tax system and deal promptly with issues that arise," says a September 2014 briefing note prepared for Revenue Minister Kerry-Lynne Findlay.

Late in the 2014 filing season, the agency learned that a volunteer who had previously been charged with fraud was seen at a tax clinic preparing returns, says the note, obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act.
