ON A NOTHER MOTHER MOTHER TOUR

Anne and John are soon off to visit mothers.

John does maintain electronic contact while on the road, and will promptly respond to any emailed issues. He'll be back at his QCove desk in time to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

IN THE MEANTIME, CONSIDER TAX CUTS FROM THE TAX GUYS

Our friends at the Canada Revenue Agency have done a fairly slick job of organizing Tax Cuts at Your Fingertips. All on one page, with the information you need never more than three clicks away.

Across the top they've listed the more interesting and newer tax credits, such as the Home Renovation Tax Credit, the Tradespersons Tool Expenses deduction. Toward the middle, they've lumped links for specific groups, such as student, or senior, or tradesperson.

AND GETTING PRONGED BY THE TRIDENT

Canada Revenue Agency has been repeatedly bad-mouthed by the federal auditor general over the years for letting so many tax scofflaws escape with untold millions (billions?) of what should be ours.

Project Trident is one effort to right this wrong. It targets three types of fraud: tax preparer fraud, charity related fraud, and identity theft. It seeks to protect our tax-base by prosecuting key players, by reassessing related tax returns.

This page brings you up-to-date on their workings — with warnings for the vulnerable.
