CRA Snitch Line 1.866.809.6841.
Even go into a store and get charged tax, but the teller never runs it through the cash register? They do it because they’re keeping the extra tax for themselves. Call the snitch line. Or, you go to buy something and they only accept cash… Be wary.
Does your neighbour brag about how much money he makes under the table and lives way better than you do? Call the snitch line.
Does your ex-spouse not want to file their tax returns because it would mean they would have to increase child support payments?!? Then call the snitch line.
This line is a direct link into the CRA Audit department and they use these “tips” to recover funds from professional tax avoiders.
Key words the CRA likes to hear includes;
Their names, their address, an amount of unreported income greater than, say $50K, maybe a second set of books, or 2nd property in the name of their cat…
It never hurts to call.
It always hurts to not call.
This line is anonymous and believe it or not, the majority of “tips” come from exes who are left holding the bag while their ex-spouses are living it up.
I figured I would post this since it is the most frequently asked question I get. Yes a line exists and yes it gets acted on… and fast if the dollar amount to be recovered is high.
I am bothered – my brother in law always has a wad of cash, pays everything with cash, never uses a credit card. He has his own business and I know he does jobs for cash. His brother has his own business and went to jail for tax evasion. I am concerned for my sister because he will get caught eventually, it is inevitable when you buy everything with cash. I have my own business and declare everything. I like our hospitals, health care, roads, community centres. I am proud to be Canadian. I am poor by comparison, paying tons of taxes, and will never really build wealth with my business but it’s more about being home for my kids, even though I work a ton of hours a week.
What would you recommend
so you and I get to pay the taxes that your brother is not paying. I am sure he has a health card etc…. and uses it. Probably gets HST credits quarterly. You can either continue to let him rip all the other Canadian Taxpayers off or make it so he pays his fair share!!!! And have the nerve to brag about it. We should be paying for him to stay in a federal jail cell!!!! Tell your brother “thanks for ripping me off” inconsidrate bastard!!!!!!
