There's no way to raise a red flag if the guy defrauding you is smarter than you are. For CRA to check for red flags it needs to either hire more people or create it's own AI software to be able to do it. Can CRA hire 20 millions of staff? Noway.

Canadians are being taken on so many levels. I’ve paid enormous amounts of taxes in the last 25 years and feel the amount I’ve paid is unfair, then we find out about this fraud……. It breaks my heart.
only that of what has been willing given, can be taken. The CRA gives it out, and not pursued to retrieve. and we the people have allowed corruption to fester in our institutions.
Chrystia Freeland does not have any diplomas or degrees in finance or related fields. Token hires have to stop in PMs cabinets. Just hire who’s qualified.
I’m 20 minutes in and Samer Bishay sounds and looks guilty as heck. “Why would I have googled him?” In a world where people Google every little thing, he didn’t Google the name of the person he was doing business with?
Yeah, he probably gets a charge thinking of taking millions more from us in court. Laughing all the way to the bank. Canada has opened its doors to no end of crooks and grifters.
Awesome Journalism, please send all your expense receipts to the CRA as you have just done their job. Amazing how nobody wants to give an interview and be held accountable, embarrassing to say the least.
It seems, CRA employees need to do more investigation before releasing any funds, this is beyond disgusting and unacceptable. The world has become so corrupt. Honestly, people lie all the time, any real honest people left anymore?
Yes. Theyre5 put in lockdown, mandated to take vaccine or get fired, can't afford to buy a home in some cases food, gas and heating., their taxes supporting a war, arrested their assets frozen for peaceful protest while terrorists prowl our streets threatening violence. In there are honest folks.

A CRA employee literally yelled at me last week. I was just asking some questions, to be sure Im following the law and he was mocking me and yelled. I asked him if he was having a bad day and he said yes, and yelled some more. I asked him for his name and he hung up on me. CRA is a joke.
@petiaantonova7317 The DEFINITELY have become a joke. The actions by MOST if not ALL individuals I've delt with in the past 8 years have be absolute nightmares. No clue how to answer a simple question just the ability to loose their minds when questioned.
Meanwhile, a lowly pleb, I recently purchased a used car for $10k. 3rd owner. With each sale, that same car has now generated 3 fed plus prov tax transactions. The same car! Nice work if you can get it, Taxman! My Canadian heart just broke a little more learning of this massive tax fraud case. Where did the country I was so proud of for 50+ years go? Integrity? Values? FairPlay? Honesty? So naive. All outdated sentiments, it seems. 💔
CRA doesn't want to spend time looking for the actual criminals - it's much easier to go after regular hard-working Canadians. A friend sold a house in Toronto, now CRA is auditing them for almost a million dollars, claiming it was a business deal 8 years ago! Absolute disgrace.
8 years ago? You're friend is making stuff up. The CRA doesn't expect anyone to keep records longer than 7 years (although I do) and neither does the law. Your friend is either mistaken or out right full of 💩.
@rcchristian2 way to gaslight someone. yes, he should've made an already ridiculously expensive process more expensive by hiring tax lawyers and professional auditors to see if CRA can come after him. no, he wasn't running a business from his home.
This scam is so easy to pull off. If done right you'll never get caught and never go to jail. There are ALOT more people doing this than you can imagine. Even the financial institutions are also into it. The government will NEVER be able to make this stop!
When you followed the money, only one ‘company’ had a private jet and expensive cars… CRA and Politicians seem to be ignorantly complicit in some way. More investigative journalism needed to follow the money.
Imagine the jobs that could be created by enforcing laws. Good paying jobs for Canadians and the country would be better for it. Clean the whole country out!
We have something called RCMP fraud department, but, the ministers in charge will have no-power to control the investigation when things turns ugly and many workers caught while their hands in jar !!!
Look who s hands are so many jobs that should be done by Canadians on...to begin with if you are a Canadian with no kids, you will be laid off - sooner or later- to hire someone who just landed with 3 kids...😢. This has been happening for almost a decade..if not longer😢
“This attack on me, trying to frame me for this crime, is an attack on every Canadian consumer and every Canadian small business…” yah tell tale sign of a manipulator
This is pathetic!! I am disgusted hearing how incompetent the government is at catching these evil scammers. Why? Seriously, why don't CSIS, the RCMP, the police investigate this crime and go after these people and put them behind bars We need to be very careful who we vote for in the future. We have been paying our taxes all our lives and and we are honest people who deserve better.
That's what I can't understand I only made $31,000 last year but I owe the government 2500 because of covid can't afford to pay it back but yet I see our tax dollars being looted by these freaking criminals but yet the government hounds me for $2,500 on appalled
I used to work in Fraud prevention department, My manager used to tell me -- you, me & our team are working hard to prevent Frauds while Fraudsters are working even harder to commit fraud
Oh dear !!!! any business has to consider a percentage of loss due to FRAUD. Fraud can not be eliminated 100% , this will cost more than the money wasted in fraud. However, the main goal of fraud prevention policies and tools are to minimize fraud as much as possible, but, can not reduce it to ZERO
If one person can defraud the government of this kind of money, what kind of money is the Ontario government or the government of Canada dealing with and why in the world are we paying so much taxes? This is absolutely ridiculous. No wonder our Prime Minister thinks. Our reserve is his own personal piggy bank.!
Pretty slick presentation of Iristel, no mention of the loads of online complaints about scammers using Iristel phone numbers targeting Canadians, scammers in other countries including Nigeria, India etc.., that's been going on for years.
I dealt with nefarious Telus billing practices that involved at least three different customer service representatives in three different countries. It does not surprise me that corrupt telecom practices occur in Canada. The CRTC should reap the criminal justice that this kind of regulatory practice has sown in Canada. You cannot help but conclude that government regulation is as corrupted as the telecoms involved.
The US IRS collects $12 dollars for every $1 of funding, by auditing top earners. Canada should really pursue a similar path and extend that to corporate entities.
Thanks to Bob McK we have some access to what is REALLY GOING ON IN CANADA! What will we do if/when Bob retires? Please don’t retire Bob. 🙏😇 in the meantime, back home in Canada, Seniors are constantly reminded that “your CPP & OAS cheques are TAXABLE”…so don’t go running off to the grocery store with that money, cause you haven’t paid TAX on it yet!!!
Isn't the Canadian Government guilty of the same offence ?I mean in Ontario you buy a New car you pay tax, You sell said new car the New Buyer pays Tax over and over and over again.. We pay income tax take home 70% then spend a percentage on Tax every time we spend that "Taxed" income... and the one who makes out The Government..
That's why the Bank of Canada keeps raising intrests rates. . . How is this possible if Canada were on top of its ssecurity, it's all in the name of the game.
~ It makes me sick. I'm not in Canada but this kind of thing keeps happening across the board. There are NO CONSEQUENCES for this kind of behaviour anymore. It is because of us - *The People* that these companies exist at all.
Pathetic! And what is government doing to fix ? I can’t believe I immigrated to this country, worked here for 35 years - to just feel it was a big mistake! Canada is going down the drain
It the same in the EU. The fraud at the European Commission is abysmal under the presidency of Von der Leyen. We are talking billions of euros each year.
I am an employee and earn around 50k a year and sometimes less ,with a simple tax return ( one T4) .My income tax return get assessed and reassessed and reviewed twice each year by CRA at least.
Interesting about minister Marie-Claude Bibeau agreeing to do an interview, then backing out at the very end of the piece. The current government needs to be fired, as even these basic responsibilities are dismissed.
That was a clasic Dear in the Headlights moment. She appeares to be completly out of her depth and unaware od whara going. Not filling this Canadian wirh confidence.
All criminals have a common characteristic, shamelessness! Where are CRA associates who were involved to this scam? Don’t ask us to believe there were no insiders!
I'm so sick of hearing about that sort of thing. Is it really so hard to get our affairs in order in the government? A lot of people are getting paid good tax money to take care of these things and are getting away with doing nothing, or simply absurdly failing at it. Hire, or replace people if you have to. This is rediculous.
So, who do you think audited and caught all these cases of fraud? How did you or the CBC or the public come to know about them if the government did not do their job?
jeez...you would think if Samer is doing tens of millions of dollars in business, he would do his due diligence by checking out his vendors/suppliers and doing background checks. Something about him doesn't seem right.
i wonder what would happen, if we decided to hold this MInister accountable for the loss of money every canadians lost into this and if, she would still find it so 'hard' to 'litigate' those carrousel frauds, if we decide to get the money back from HER bank account...
Seems to me that if we paid moderate taxes to our municipalities, we would have great schools, roads, hospitals and emergency services with far more accountability. Would eliminate this kind of fraud and federal bungling while also eliminating a corrupt and inept federal government with it's bureaucratic bloating costing us hundreds of Billions.
It’s the same waste management at the municipal levels. Contracts without checking the resources of the contractors who are friends of the mayor or family members of municipal employees. Costs overrun is the leitmotiv of excessive spendings. Nobody is accountable because so many people are involved in the local community.
Just when I think our government couldn’t possibly get any more incompetent, CRA says “hold my beer”. None of this will change unless we hold those in government accountable with real consequences.

@@rafatislam1582 The CRA must account for outflow losses. That wouldn’t preclude some of them blaming innocent people while misappropriating funds for themselves.
I have to chime in, as an out of work Cyber Security professional my job (if I worked for the government), would be to help track and stop this sort of thing. Even with government clearance, years of experience etc. I can't get my foot in the door. Neither can many other security people - it's a myth that there aren't enough skilled workers available; the hiring system is broken in Canada. Don't hire the right people, don't expect the right results.
The more I watch this, the worse it gets. There is no Real Telecom provider that would give 10's of Millions of dollars of credit to a company with a P..O box. Never. I am wondering if these deals, minutes of telecom, were in fact real. Maybe 5th Estate might want to hire a retired Business man as a Researcher. That's me, I am available.
Why on earth hasn't the Canadian IR department got recording systems to show whether tax has been paid on goods that refunds are claimed for, in the first place? Unbelievable. Claimants should be required to produce evidence tax has been paid, just like evidence of car or house ownership. That would immediately fix the problem, no one would buy goods for export which tax had not been paid on.

Government officials should not be allowed to run "foundations" during their time in office. Look at the net worth of the Clinton's before and after taking office.
what are you blabbering on about? the Federal government isn't involved whatsoever in these carousel tax fraud schemes. Trudeau has nothing to do with this.
Bingo! The Mulroney and Chretien governments abandoned the simpler, single stage FST for the complex multi-stage GST, thereby creating the opportunity for these kind of scams to occur. I'd vote for scrapping the GST and returning to the FST any day of the week (and twice on Sundays).
This is just one case out of hundreds !!!!! I’m wondering why everything here is getting expensive each year .. The money is gone for ever outside of the country and no way to get it back!!!
I came here as someone who was sold the canadian dream. I am a citizen now but it pains me on the incompetence of the politicians in all parties, our policy makers and then institutions like CRA and Bank of Canada. I mean can anyone do their job right.? If not for the hard working everyday Canadians, this country would be in a worst state than it is.

KPMG Accounting firm has a long history of helping wealthy clients cheat on their taxes through banks in Isle of Man. The CRA gave a handful them a slap on the wrist. Those were just the ones who got caught.

As someone who is struggling to cover monthly costs every month in Canada Toronto. I look at this and say. Wow what kind of mind did these scammers have and why can’t I think of such ideas. I’ve never been able to save upto $20k in my entire life and these guys are shifting billions and millions.
I was surprised at this, as I looked further is seem like it happens to other countries. It is a lesson for Canada ( CRA ) to spend some money to stop losing lots of money to fraudulent pay outs.
@@sophien5416 right? I know a lot of people think CBC is a waste, but the CRTC (which is truly directly affected by the government even though it’s supposed to be an arms length agency) keeps hacking away and restricting CBCs ability to remain relevant, all the while getting a lot of its money (I believe, if I’ve read things properly) from other platforms that compete directly for market space with CBC…
But if CRA hasn't raised the court case first CBC wouldn't even know about it. U people are praising CBS because it investigated one case while CRA has to investigate an entire country

If you want really want to look at the real problems in canada, look at every single person who overtly hates trudeau. All of that misplaced hate hides a lazy citizen collecting outragous amounts in welfare.
Agreed
imagine tipping in 2023 lmfao
Exactly!
Omg I work at a restaurant and my co worker got audited. She's a single mom and needs to pay back 2500 dls. 😢😕
I moved to Canada 8 years ago and in that short time I have paid $240000 in taxes I don't have a business I'm not rich I just work I'm literally living paycheck to paycheck going to work everyday paying taxes so that the Feds can throw away my hard earned money like this I'm pissed really really pissed

Canada Revenue Agency writes off $133M owed by one taxpayer

"the guy moved, I'm out of ideas..."
This is outrageous. I live with below the poverty line and these people get away with this type of robbery everyday.
INSANITY
Canadians are being taken on so many levels. I’ve paid enormous amounts of taxes in the last 25 years and feel the amount I’ve paid is unfair, then we find out about this fraud……. It breaks my heart.
The Minister of Revenue being clueless about it was the icing on the cake. The ineptitude goes to the highest level of government.
only that of what has been willing given, can be taken.
The CRA gives it out, and not pursued to retrieve.
and we the people have allowed corruption to fester in our institutions.
I’ve paid zero because I’ve made zero.
Chrystia Freeland does not have any diplomas or degrees in finance or related fields. Token hires have to stop in PMs cabinets. Just hire who’s qualified.
@rcchristian2 Right up till a CRA auditor rings your doorbell.
This is one of the most important pieces you've ever made. Incredibly well done by everybody involved 👏
I’m 20 minutes in and Samer Bishay sounds and looks guilty as heck. “Why would I have googled him?” In a world where people Google every little thing, he didn’t Google the name of the person he was doing business with?
That’s where the red flags are for sure.
After 10 minutes i was like "hes so guilty" 😂
Well, Meghan Markle said she didn't google Harry so.... :)
Yeah, he probably gets a charge thinking of taking millions more from us in court. Laughing all the way to the bank. Canada has opened its doors to no end of crooks and grifters.
This. Every milestone he likes to remind himself of his success. Collecting trophies are we?
This Samer guy is 100% guilty. He’s buying minutes from fake companies run by Uber drivers stone counter top installers. Come on dude.
He is into ripping us off 😂😂😂😂

Awesome Journalism, please send all your expense receipts to the CRA as you have just done their job. Amazing how nobody wants to give an interview and be held accountable, embarrassing to say the least.
We need another set of Auditors to Audit CRA. Great investigation! Would love to see a follow-up.
Lol, let's spend even more taxes in useless burocracy
It seems, CRA employees need to do more investigation before releasing any funds, this is beyond disgusting and unacceptable. The world has become so corrupt. Honestly, people lie all the time, any real honest people left anymore?
All Government are corrupt
Yes. Theyre5 put in lockdown, mandated to take vaccine or get fired, can't afford to buy a home in some cases food, gas and heating., their taxes supporting a war, arrested their assets frozen for peaceful protest while terrorists prowl our streets threatening violence. In there are honest folks.
Sounds like the Minister also needs to be investigated.
If you want really want to look at the real problems in canada, look at every single person who overtly hates trudeau. All of that misplaced hate hides a lazy citizen collecting outragous amounts in welfare.
lollllllllllllllll, Who‘s robbing millions from The Bank of Canada? = Quebec, quebec, the french, quebec....Ottawa....its been going on for decades....all disguised as equalization, grants, subsides....bilingualism (french)...$$$ ....hundreds of billions...
A full 3rd party audit on ALL of parliament
Absolutely the PM and all the ministers should be . No accountability since Trudeau.
A CRA employee literally yelled at me last week. I was just asking some questions, to be sure Im following the law and he was mocking me and yelled. I asked him if he was having a bad day and he said yes, and yelled some more. I asked him for his name and he hung up on me. CRA is a joke.
It’s not a joke for hard working people
@petiaantonova7317 The DEFINITELY have become a joke. The actions by MOST if not ALL individuals I've delt with in the past 8 years have be absolute nightmares. No clue how to answer a simple question just the ability to loose their minds when questioned.
So it’s not just me getting yelled at.
CRA true criminals
I once had to explain to an agent how to calculate weekly and hourly earnings based off an every two weeks paycheck... My expectations are beyond low.
Meanwhile, a lowly pleb, I recently purchased a used car for $10k. 3rd owner. With each sale, that same car has now generated 3 fed plus prov tax transactions. The same car! Nice work if you can get it, Taxman! My Canadian heart just broke a little more learning of this massive tax fraud case. Where did the country I was so proud of for 50+ years go? Integrity? Values? FairPlay? Honesty? So naive. All outdated sentiments, it seems. 💔
Yes, it's all very sad and distressing. I'm glad I have no kids, as I'd be frantic about leaving them this messed-up country as their birthright.
I agree with you. Not value , not integrity, not honesty, NO MORAL but just monkey business for any way that you see. Disgusting
So great to see real journalism. Thanks for this!
Canadians should be thankful to have an institution like the CBC, which still provides in-depth, professional, and relevant news for Canadians.

Defunded the Liberal Propaganda machine
Funny how Fifth estate can investigate but the government can’t even get a grip …
The CNC is The FAKE new propaganda for tur government. Liberals give our Canadian News affiliates aprox 800 million a year to provide their narative
What striking is how relaxed and confident these accused portray themselves.
CRA doesn't want to spend time looking for the actual criminals - it's much easier to go after regular hard-working Canadians.
A friend sold a house in Toronto, now CRA is auditing them for almost a million dollars, claiming it was a business deal 8 years ago! Absolute disgrace.
Well your friend should have bought a home... Not a home office.
8 years ago?
You're friend is making stuff up. The CRA doesn't expect anyone to keep records longer than 7 years (although I do) and neither does the law. Your friend is either mistaken or out right full of 💩.
CRA goes after the 'low hanging fruit'
@rcchristian2 way to gaslight someone.
yes, he should've made an already ridiculously expensive process more expensive by hiring tax lawyers and professional auditors to see if CRA can come after him.
no, he wasn't running a business from his home.
@rcchristian2and I suppose you're a lawyer?
CRA is targeting common full timers and hard working people who shows all transactions on paper.
This scam is so easy to pull off. If done right you'll never get caught and never go to jail. There are ALOT more people doing this than you can imagine. Even the financial institutions are also into it. The government will NEVER be able to make this stop!
Agreed. The best thing would be to scarp the GST and return to the prior FST tax regime. The FST system was rock solid and very efficient.
When you followed the money, only one ‘company’ had a private jet and expensive cars…
CRA and Politicians seem to be ignorantly complicit in some way. More investigative journalism needed to follow the money.
That will lead to the CBC. Billions of taxpayer $'s TAKEN
Having a private jet and expensive cars don't necessarily mean tax fraud. I would say people who have disappeared are more likely guilty.
Imagine the jobs that could be created by enforcing laws. Good paying jobs for Canadians and the country would be better for it. Clean the whole country out!
We have something called RCMP fraud department, but, the ministers in charge will have no-power to control the investigation when things turns ugly and many workers caught while their hands in jar !!!
Look who s hands are so many jobs that should be done by Canadians on...to begin with if you are a Canadian with no kids, you will be laid off - sooner or later- to hire someone who just landed with 3 kids...😢. This has been happening for almost a decade..if not longer😢
In last 5 years I've paid over 150k in taxes as tradesman and was audited last year by cra for my union dues tax receipt
As a Canadian citizen and tax payer, this was so hard to watch. I am so angry at those who are accuse and CRA!
Don't be angry, ad get used to it. This is Canada after all.
“This attack on me, trying to frame me for this crime, is an attack on every Canadian consumer and every Canadian small business…” yah tell tale sign of a manipulator
You are sooo right BUNDYSVIDEOS...... he has all the good innocent comebacks!!! HAHAH!!!
This is pathetic!! I am disgusted hearing how incompetent the government is at catching these evil scammers. Why? Seriously, why don't CSIS, the RCMP, the police investigate this crime and go after these people and put them behind bars We need to be very careful who we vote for in the future. We have been paying our taxes all our lives and and we are honest people who deserve better.
That's what I can't understand I only made $31,000 last year but I owe the government 2500 because of covid can't afford to pay it back but yet I see our tax dollars being looted by these freaking criminals but yet the government hounds me for $2,500 on appalled
Plus interest, never forget that
I used to work in Fraud prevention department, My manager used to tell me -- you, me & our team are working hard to prevent Frauds while Fraudsters are working even harder to commit fraud
Oh dear !!!! any business has to consider a percentage of loss due to FRAUD. Fraud can not be eliminated 100% , this will cost more than the money wasted in fraud. However, the main goal of fraud prevention policies and tools are to minimize fraud as much as possible, but, can not reduce it to ZERO
Life is like that ! if ya dont work ,ya cant eat so we (all of us ) do want we can , some righteous , some ,not so much .
Prevention bests apprehensions everytime
😂😂😂😂😂
I know many acountaire office who make fraud tax return.But cra dont wana lisent
If one person can defraud the government of this kind of money, what kind of money is the Ontario government or the government of Canada dealing with and why in the world are we paying so much taxes? This is absolutely ridiculous. No wonder our Prime Minister thinks. Our reserve is his own personal piggy bank.!
What about Freeland? She is the minister of Finances. She is responsible for all financial matters. Why the 5th estate did not interview her as well?
CRA director should resign for failing to detect this and pay the amount.
Oui!
Not the brightest bunch there😊
Instead of resigning or being fired, this guy will get a year-end performance bonus, I'm sure.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Pretty slick presentation of Iristel, no mention of the loads of online complaints about scammers using Iristel phone numbers targeting Canadians, scammers in other countries including Nigeria, India etc.., that's been going on for years.
I dealt with nefarious Telus billing practices that involved at least three different customer service representatives in three different countries. It does not surprise me that corrupt telecom practices occur in Canada. The CRTC should reap the criminal justice that this kind of regulatory practice has sown in Canada. You cannot help but conclude that government regulation is as corrupted as the telecoms involved.
I don't think it's corruption as much as incompetence.
Telus is SCUM ! I switched to Freedom Mobile
It's disingenuous to pretend years & years of incompetence do not suggest outright corruption.
Good point. The CRA isn't the only government dept. whose incompetence and/or corruption is driving this story.
I’m sorry see such High Crime in Canada. The deeper sadness is….. This is more likely Global than National.
The CRA; as evasive, incompetent and thus as implicitly involved, as ever.
Bravo, bravo....
The US IRS collects $12 dollars for every $1 of funding, by auditing top earners. Canada should really pursue a similar path and extend that to corporate entities.

We hope Mr. Mck has trained some good protégé. 🙏
Isn't the Canadian Government guilty of the same offence ?I mean in Ontario you buy a New car you pay tax, You sell said new car the New Buyer pays Tax over and over and over again.. We pay income tax take home 70% then spend a percentage on Tax every time we spend that "Taxed" income... and the one who makes out The Government..
is that the same things as a ponzi scheme?
That's why the Bank of Canada keeps raising intrests rates. . . How is this possible if Canada were on top of its ssecurity, it's all in the name of the game.
lol?
Yes ..the BOC raises interest rates to cover losses incurred by fraud....thats exactly how it works... just so you know this is sarcasm
The BOC uses interest rates to control inflation
And yet there is no accountability in this government!!
People need to be fired for this incompetence, not rewarded with bonuses !!
~ It makes me sick. I'm not in Canada but this kind of thing keeps happening across the board. There are NO CONSEQUENCES for this kind of behaviour anymore. It is because of us - *The People* that these companies exist at all.
the absoluteness of government is top down, there is no level at which it is accountable to the cattle
does this help?
Pathetic! And what is government doing to fix ? I can’t believe I immigrated to this country, worked here for 35 years - to just feel it was a big mistake! Canada is going down the drain
It the same in the EU. The fraud at the European Commission is abysmal under the presidency of Von der Leyen. We are talking billions of euros each year.
We don’t usually do our due diligence … that would be too much like being a legitimate company.

More people need to Watch this
Then send it to everyone!
I am an employee and earn around 50k a year and sometimes less ,with a simple tax return ( one T4) .My income tax return get assessed and reassessed and reviewed twice each year by CRA at least.
Interesting about minister Marie-Claude Bibeau agreeing to do an interview, then backing out at the very end of the piece. The current government needs to be fired, as even these basic responsibilities are dismissed.

I'm so sick of hearing about that sort of thing. Is it really so hard to get our affairs in order in the government? A lot of people are getting paid good tax money to take care of these things and are getting away with doing nothing, or simply absurdly failing at it. Hire, or replace people if you have to. This is rediculous.
So, who do you think audited and caught all these cases of fraud? How did you or the CBC or the public come to know about them if the government did not do their job?
@@rafatislam1582 how did 1.1 billion get stolen if the government did their job?
jeez...you would think if Samer is doing tens of millions of dollars in business, he would do his due diligence by checking out his vendors/suppliers and doing background checks. Something about him doesn't seem right.
Because he's a Trump supporter and following Trump business blue print
So why has the CRA not gone to Justice? And has tax law been changed to prevent these frauds?
“You have to speak to my lawyer” followed by “I am just an Uber driver” doesn’t seem to line up.
👍 exactly
His whole defence is "I didn't do my due diligence so I'm not responsible". Good luck in court buddy.
As far as I'm aware, there's no requirement in the Excise Tax Act or its regulations for due diligence by a taxpayer towards a supplier or customer.
i wonder what would happen, if we decided to hold this MInister accountable for the loss of money every canadians lost into this and if, she would still find it so 'hard' to 'litigate' those carrousel frauds, if we decide to get the money back from HER bank account...

@@kennordsfan1494Trudeau and the RCMP have investigated themselves and found no wrong doing.
How hard would it be for CRA to first demand the proof that the taxes were paid first?
Seems to me that if we paid moderate taxes to our municipalities, we would have great schools, roads, hospitals and emergency services with far more accountability. Would eliminate this kind of fraud and federal bungling while also eliminating a corrupt and inept federal government with it's bureaucratic bloating costing us hundreds of Billions.
It’s the same waste management at the municipal levels. Contracts without checking the resources of the contractors who are friends of the mayor or family members of municipal employees. Costs overrun is the leitmotiv of excessive spendings. Nobody is accountable because so many people are involved in the local community.
Just when I think our government couldn’t possibly get any more incompetent, CRA says “hold my beer”.
None of this will change unless we hold those in government accountable with real consequences.

The CRA must account for outflow losses.
That wouldn’t preclude some of them blaming innocent people while misappropriating funds for themselves.
I have to chime in, as an out of work Cyber Security professional my job (if I worked for the government), would be to help track and stop this sort of thing.
Even with government clearance, years of experience etc. I can't get my foot in the door. Neither can many other security people - it's a myth that there aren't enough skilled workers available; the hiring system is broken in Canada.
Don't hire the right people, don't expect the right results.
What does one expect? Our country is a bought sold out land 😒
That is pathetic, but I’m not surprised.

Maybe 5th Estate might want to hire a retired Business man as a Researcher. That's me, I am available.
Why on earth hasn't the Canadian IR department got recording systems to show whether tax has been paid on goods that refunds are claimed for, in the first place?
Unbelievable.
Claimants should be required to produce evidence tax has been paid, just like evidence of car or house ownership. That would immediately fix the problem, no one would buy goods for export which tax had not been paid on.
I guess that's why the scammers resell it through several companies before exporting it.

This is what you get when you have an over complicated tax system. The simpler it is, the harder it is for these crimes
I scrolled way too far down to find this comment
Bingo! The Mulroney and Chretien governments abandoned the simpler, single stage FST for the complex multi-stage GST, thereby creating the opportunity for these kind of scams to occur. I'd vote for scrapping the GST and returning to the FST any day of the week (and twice on Sundays).
This is just one case out of hundreds !!!!!

What do you hope to discover from the audit?
I came here as someone who was sold the canadian dream. I am a citizen now but it pains me on the incompetence of the politicians in all parties, our policy makers and then institutions like CRA and Bank of Canada. I mean can anyone do their job right.? If not for the hard working everyday Canadians, this country would be in a worst state than it is.

KPMG Accounting firm has a long history of helping wealthy clients cheat on their taxes through banks in Isle of Man. The CRA gave a handful them a slap on the wrist. Those were just the ones who got caught.
Exemplary news reporting. I hope you will keep the public posted on the progress of this lawsuit and how gov. & CRA are going to protect taxpayers money better in the future.
As someone who is struggling to cover monthly costs every month in Canada Toronto. I look at this and say. Wow what kind of mind did these scammers have and why can’t I think of such ideas. I’ve never been able to save upto $20k in my entire life and these guys are shifting billions and millions.
Well that's because you are not a narcissistic psychopath ...those with no conscience
That's because you are either stupidly honest, or honestly stupid.
I was surprised at this, as I looked further is seem like it happens to other countries. It is a lesson for Canada ( CRA ) to spend some money to stop losing lots of money to fraudulent pay outs.
Is anyone shocked by the people who are doing this?

@@sophien5416 right? I know a lot of people think CBC is a waste, but the CRTC (which is truly directly affected by the government even though it’s supposed to be an arms length agency) keeps hacking away and restricting CBCs ability to remain relevant, all the while getting a lot of its money (I believe, if I’ve read things properly) from other platforms that compete directly for market space with CBC…
But if CRA hasn't raised the court case first CBC wouldn't even know about it. U people are praising CBS because it investigated one case while CRA has to investigate an entire country
