There used to be a formula about support workers to combat ready soldiers/etc. I sure hope these politicians dont use that kind of thing to get around disclosure.
@@Mac-i3m To be fair our military needs to be paid. That said having a larger amount of tax collectors than active military seems inefficient. Considering this is an area staffed with accountants you would think inefficiency would be something that was addressed before now, but it's human nature not to rock the boat when things are good. I have a feeling there's going to be government staff reductions after the next federal elections if the union contracts allow for it.
If a waitress is suspected of declaring less income from tips than the CRA 'estimates' think she should be making, they go after the waitress with guns blazing. But when the Panama Papers came out, showing wealthy people hiding millions overseas, the CRA was immediately offering amnesty, partial payment arrangements, etc., and the government put more effort into going after the person who leaked the information than the tax evaders themselves, and did everything they could to make sure the people hiding money overseas didn't get hurt by the exposure.
I'm on disability due to a work injury yet I'm owing back the CRA over a grand because I made too much, thieves, liars and crooks in every government department 😒
Even my ex wife filed a false claim for child support, all my disability payments went half, so my ex wife could have nice shoes and shiny nails, while my kids were asking me for help and I'm hardly hanging on to survival while trying to atleast provide food and clothes, can't do it bad mothers win this government sweepstakes and decent fathers are demonized, judgement day is coming, make yourself right with Jesus Christ, and all you jezebels will soon find out,

They collected 662 Billion dollars. Wages for 58,000 CRA employees at an average yearly income of $50,000 is 2.9 Billion dollars. That is just for wages and is on the low side. These employees need a place to work, computers, utilities, benefits, ects. So the CRA is eating up over 5 Billion dollars every year. The benefit the CRA offers is that the GDP is kept down. A better monetary system is needed where no CRA employees exist. It is doable.
Do you think government is just a little too big , please send Elon musk up here ,what a joke, remember all of these people are eligible for government pensions, no wonder we’re broke.
Once you got them online they advise you to refer to their website. What a bunch of waste for our tax money. Very very unhappy with bloated bureaucracy
Hey Mr. Hamilton the number of people that get through to the CRA is zero not one person gets to talk to an operator first they have to juggle your automated phone service and not get cut off don’t say the numbers are high the numbers are high for people who can’t get a hold of you
Yet a few years ago they hired so many people its not funny allow them to work afrom home write off 20% of their income for 'office space' and gave them a free computer!
About 4 years ago I spoke with a friend who just got a job with the agency, she told me to apply all you needed was grade 12 they were doing a hiring blitz they let you work from home and they gave you a brand new computer and paid for your internet. I didn't apply I didn't like the idea much.
Bad numbers people are working with. In 2019, Canada had a population around 39 million. After 2020, TRUDEAU FORCED IMMIGRATION (MOSTLY INDIANS AND PUNJABS, many criminals) numbers to 560,000 PER YEAR. so total population should be around 44-45 million.
what about the GST scam that as been happening for the last 5 years ? a criminal group has been redirecting GST returns to another bank account rather than clients bank account.
There has to be something wrong when there's 58,000 tax collectors and 33,000 military personnel. Likely at least two things or a combination of two things. The system is too complicated and or there are tax collectors who are...not really busy who use the complexity of the system as an excuse to lower their work output. Difficult to come to a conclusion of any sort when those who are asked don't answer.
Over 58,000 tax employees to collect money that has either been stolen (for lack of better word) from Candians or spent without a an onze of accountability....Let that sink in.
Minister of national revenue, you're questions are being asked by the law. Are you saying this court system is not the law? Or what? Where is there another law that says something different why you're holding information about public works?
The CRA wait time has gotten worse.. i have never experienced being connected in “minutes”.. never less that a 40-50 minute wait in the last 3 years plus😂 I was given wrong info twice that affected my EI application
Ahhh, transparency is only important when these individuals arent in positions of higher power, but once they are then it becomes convenient to cast off those pesky responsibilities as a government official. Good to know.
I’ve watched numerous committees over the past year and in every committee trying to get information out of the ministers or their lackeys is like trying to pull teeth out of someone, almost every person these committees question seem to be or are belligerent! Just pathetic! Got to wonder why?
If each CRA employee can do 5 returns per work day, they can do 75 million returns per year. The CRA is there to make sure people know subconsciously that they are slaves.
This is so sad Plus. If your asked a question in english. You answer in english My two closest friends were charged thousands of dollars more than H&R Advised Why is CRA screwing canadians? And why are they going charge based on laws not passed ?
Did this Floki just say that they are starting to record calls like this is 2024 and he’s trying to say the Canada revenue agency has just started recording calls am I the only one that picked up on this or watt
DO NOT SET UP AUTOMATIC PAYMENTS with CRA, they will take money out of your account for no reason and not give it back. For instance, they send you a bill for $5k and you haven’t paid any HST yet as I am starting company and still in Research and development stage. They took it out and not giving back needs to investigated! I hear it’s happening to a lot of people and corporations.
Why so many when CRA can file taxes on a person's behalf without their knowledge or consent? I'm not talking about notice is assessments. I'm taking about initial filings. I still can't find the section of the Act that allows CRA to file taxes on behalf of taxpayers without their knowledge or consent.
When I mailed the minister of revenue asking how they can force corporations to collect “income” tax with a voluntary social insurance number, while making the corporation fully liable if they don’t collect it without paying the corporation. The response I got was the charter (schedule b to the Canada act), has confirmed corporate and human slavery has been ruled in favour of by their tax courts. All answers were Completely irrelevant to any of my questions.
Privacy being what it is, it does not apply to any business or entity exchangining finances or services with the govt. If we're talking tax payers just sheltering their finances, its no ones business
Not sure if the numbers are correct. approximately 68,000 active personnel and 27,000 reserve personnel in the Canadian armed forces. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) employs over 55,000 people. The CRA is the largest organization in the Canadian federal public service by number of employees.
58,000 employees, answering ten calls per day = 2.9 million calls per week. 11.6 million per month. And they are always wasting your time, waiting on hold. Those useless ducks are only there to screw you over or collect a paycheque, no help allowed.
I waited 4 hours for a CRA agent to pick up the call. I wasted 4 hours of my day, waiting to get some answers. My tax dollars go to this agents paycheque, and I had to waste 4 hours of my valuable time. BTW...they had to make corrections on my behalf as they were Admittedly WRONG
Is anyone going to talk about how disrespectful she is for answering questions in french when they were asked in english? In every clip of this committee meeting I've seen, she's not even using the ear piece for translation. She understands the questions in english just fine, which means she can speak it. I thought it was common practice to answer a question in the language it was asked.
So doing some napkin math the only way they're breaking even is if the average Canadian, child, stay at home wife, retiree, *everyone*, wasn't claiming about $1000 in unpaid taxes and they were able to audit single person.
$4.3 BILLION IN WRITE OFFS BUT THEY ARE RELENTLESS TO COLLECT FROM PEOPLE THAT ARE AT OR BELOW THE POVERTY LINE ! IF YOU ARE BIG BUISSINES YOU GET TO NOT PAY MILLIONS !! LEAVE US POOR ALONE AND GET THE BUISSINES ACCOUBNTS TO PAY UP !!
The CRA is bigger than the Canadian army which means their budger is bigger. What does this say of their priorities?
There used to be a formula about support workers to combat ready soldiers/etc. I sure hope these politicians dont use that kind of thing to get around disclosure.
Taxes are more important than our military.

58.000 and they still can't answer their phone in a timely manner..
Liberal protecting liberals.
Every time I call the CRA I’m on hold until my phone dies or I give up after it drops my call after waiting for hours
Because they are Tax Collectors, not Phone Answer-ors, duh😮😂😂
Umm not federal corporation ... private corporation ... Wake up sheeple.....
Or someone picks up and then disconnects before you have explained who you are are and what your problem is.
@@gerganatzoneva7615 Sounds like you had a favor done by the CRA.
That's how it works, unless it's a collector, they pick up everytime
Listening to liars constantly is so difficult. Lieberals know no end to lying.

Well since Canadian politicians were on the Panama papers they really couldn't make a big deal out of it.
Didn't the lady that put out the story get killed?
Rich people hire lawyers and.hide money so spend lots and can't get it
Second Amendment is what Canadians need
The waitress is trapped in Canada by poverty. The rich can relocate at wish. One you can abuse, the other you entice. Horrible isn't it?
Send them to audit Trudeau and MPs and Trudeau friends
Corrupt CRA!
The CRA can seize the average person assets but can't seize big corporations assets WHF
" Revenue collected " is a weird way of saying theft from the people.
This woman should be jailed for total incompetence!
Who’s getting all these write offs? Everyone but the citizens I’m sure
By revenues increasing by 76% .. she means Canadians paying 76% more
I'm on disability due to a work injury yet I'm owing back the CRA over a grand because I made too much, thieves, liars and crooks in every government department 😒
The Candian Government will never let YOU or I prosper. They want it all. They will drain us dry and then what will be left for them?
Don't pay it..we cld probably win this in court

662,000,000,000.00 dollars collected annually. There is only 38 million ppl!!!!
That’s almost 18k for Everyman woman and child!!!
There are only 30 000 000 million tax filers.
@ touché sir
Some people don’t work!! At all!!!
This is flat out THEFT !

58,000 tax collectors but doesn’t know where the tax money went when they make mistake to overpaid individuals whose not qualified to get CERB money.
They collected 660 million dollars a year but how much does it cost to employ 58000 tax collectors per year?
$660,000,000 ÷58,000 =$11,379.31. And we know they make 10x that!
I think your numbers are off by a few billion.😂😂
They collected 662 Billion dollars. Wages for 58,000 CRA employees at an average yearly income of $50,000 is 2.9 Billion dollars. That is just for wages and is on the low side.

@@lazaryanya9407 i was going off brians numbers.
They collect way more than that a year!!!
330 cra employees collected cerb while working. They are no longer employed.
Being put on hold is also not what i would consider "getting through".
1 Tax collector for every 500 working Canadian's.. 1 Soldier for every 25k citizen's..?
People get through, but the person they get through to has no idea how to help.
You then have to wait for the person who is informed.

In the eyes of CRA you are guilty until proven innocent. And have fun with the slow back and forth when trying to clear yourself.
