A fucking thinktank probably paid by H&R Block, post ads to make you think it's bad that CRA would file your taxes for free. Makes it sound like a conflict of interest where there is none.
Tired of big money influencing the masses. It should be illegal.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is a shadowy nonprofit that has regularly worked to:
β’ suppress native rights and claims
β’ fight against gun legislation
β’ fight against gas and oil taxes.
β’ fight against public health care
Also they are part of the Atlas Network, a global chain of right wing conservative "think tanks" that include such fantastic groups like the far right Fraser Institute that pushes to abolish public education and the Cato Institute that is literally one of the lobbying arms of the Koch group.

Of specific note is funding and structure, Then in activities section.
In the UK, if you're a sole trader(small business with no employees) or a VAT registered business, you have to either file taxes yourself, or pay someone else to do it for you. If you're an employee, you get a P60 from your employer, and they send one to HMRC, if you're not also pulling income from stocks, real estate etc, that's you done, and it's automatically calculated.
We should be more like the UK, and less like the US.
I see no reason why the government canβt calculate your taxes based on your reported income and investments (and see if those numbers are plausible based on your location and occupation). Then if you want to challenge their numbers you can do your own return.
Here's an idea, the more complicated your taxes the more expensive it is to file. So most people pay nothing, but people who have the opportunity to scam the system have to pay enough to cover the people to investigate their filing.
