Well no shit, but it's still crippling the cash flow of citizens, on top of their money being worthless.
And before we go all "but the majority of people get more money back than they put in!"
I've never received a fucking dime back, and I'm in a very median tax bracket. Why do I need to jump through more hoops every year to get my money back? The extra cash flow is more beneficial than stock pilling my money with the government, and waiting for their slow ass to give it back
Just feels like virtue signalling bullshit.
Are you sure? They send it out quarterly. I'm guessing you just didn't notice on your end.
The rebate is a small amount, because they only take a small amount.
Very sure. Guess I'll get on the phone and start having weeks worth of back and forth with our very competent and efficient CRA to see if back pay is an option
If you go on Canada.ca you can see all the history of the payments as well as how those payments were delivered and if there was some sort of problem, that's probably the best place to start.
I don't know what province you're in, but some of them have their own program.
You wouldn't be the first person who's sure they're not getting them, because they come as a direct deposit and slip under the radar.
Quebec and BC doesn't get it because the federal tax doesn't apply, just in case you live in one of those two provinces.
I'm not in those provinces
Then check your account on the government's website because you're supposed to get a financial compensation that's high enough that you can drive 15k km and heat using oil and still come up ahead.
Complaining that you don't get it and blaming the government and pretending it's fake (I checked your history, it's at least the second time you complain about that) instead of trying to find out if/why you don't get it, that's on you buddy and you sure look like the kind of guy that's all about people's own responsibilities (again, from your history).
15km? Heat with oil? What small city in Nova Scotia do you live in?
Why is it my fault that the government imposed a tax, and then said "don't worry, we'll give it back!" and then didn't?
My main complaint here is that I constantly have to jump through ridiculous hoops with the government to get money that I'd already earned, but they just take it freely
15k km
15 000km
I'm sure you have yet to check if you actually don't receive it, you probably do and don't realize it.
Or it's simply that you're not eligible because you're under 19 or don't fill your taxes 🤔
I 100% went back and checked, after I was told it's "very small" and probably wouldn't notice it.
I appreciate you trying to help out though, thank you. You're the most competent CRA employee I've ever spoken to
