I'm really starting to get the feeling that you have a 2nd job working for Revenue Canada as a Tax Auditor! LOL
In a country where the average Canadian works for the Govt. 6-7 months of the year in wages lost to various forms of
taxation: Fed & Prov. Income Tax , City property taxes, GST & PST, and a variety of other hidden taxes. And where every year the
Auditor General finds "gross negligence & mismanagement of public funds" by politicians and public officials!

I'm all up for individuals and companies paying their fair share of taxes to support healthcare, education, social programs, etc.
However, I don't blame individuals and companies for carrying on some of their business as "cash under the table" transactions to keep
a few more dollars in their pocket. But then again I don't work for Revenue Canada either

I've been audited by Revenue Canada and I have an accounting degree, i know how it works.
There have been chances for me to get cash "under the table" but it is good thing I never did it or I would be screwed.
I never ever thought I would be audited, and they use full manipulation techniques to boot.
We were audited in the restaurant i used to bartend in too.
They were looking for unclaimed tips (every penny) and we nearly were taxed for eating left over food.
They want to squeeze every penny out of you, that is why I am warning...

Why should some people get cash under the table and others have to pay tax on every penny?
That's not a fair society.
Everyone would love to have more cash in their pockets, but some have no choice but to pay up.
The others are cheating the system, in as far as the law goes.

I hate paying tax which is why I am considering moving out of the country for a while.
Almost everyone in Canada uses more public services than I do, and I pay more tax than most of them too.
How is that fair?

I am just saying, if some laws are taken away from the authorities, they will look to other remedies, like tax evasion, licensing fee violations, zoning bylaws etc.
Look how they got Al Capone.

The escort industry is waving big flags, saying look at me, look at me.
"We want fair treatment", this means paying tax to be treated on equal with other business.
It isn't just about the constitutional rights, it is about making cash.
When the CRA smells cash, they are like dogs looking for a bag of raw meat.

I will also say I am not that impressed with this one lobbyist that is on the news all the time.
The other two ladies try to look presentable and business like.

This one dresses ok sometimes but she carries around that stupid riding crop.
Throughout every news interview on Television she is playing with this riding crop and biting it and snarling at the camera.
What a joke. How do the expect to be taken seriously? She acts like it is a game.
Lobbyists should be serious, they should take her out of the spotlight, she is making a mockery of the issue.
All she seems to be doing it trying to drum up clients or something.

You don't see other lobbyists waving their tools around.

Right you are my Dad always says that to the Gov't tax evaders are worse than murderers! And we do have one of the highest
standards of living in the world so I guess that comes at a price. I think better managing of tax funds and spending by Govt could lessen the load on average Canadians, but I think that's just wishful thinking. But I like your idea find someplace with a low cost of living and low taxes
and enjoy life! Hmmm I wonder where that could be .
But since there are no receipts issued except for those who take CC payments the paper trail isn't there. For those who only do escorting of course hard to explain how they are paying for everything or where all the cash deposits came from.

Well not one of the lobbyists has any right to call foul on the constitution if they are not paying every penny in tax that they should, period. Otherwise they are just making a farce of the whole thing. They are in fact at this moment wasting my taxpayers dollars on this, and I'll bet most of them barely pay any. Do you know how much these type of court cases cost us?

Receipts are not really necessary as escort services are rarely tax deductible.
However what would escorts do if most customers started demanding receipts?

Unless you are keeping all your cash in a mattress, the government will wonder how you pay for everything you have.
Furniture and cars just don't buy themselves, rent isn't free.
Even if you were doing blowjobs for your rent, this is a taxable benefit in the eyes of revenue canada.
Any money in bank accounts is suspect.
They are not going to assume just what you took on credit cards is your full income.
The CRA is not below tapping your phone and communications, sitting out in front of your home in a van counting your customers. They bug you for a while, they will know exactly how much you make.

Tax evasion is a federal offense, they have broad powers.

Well nothing to do with being tax deductible just every store and business, restaurant, etc, etc, issues a receipt with payment of goods and services and this is recorded in their computer accounting or book records for tax purposes, GST, PST. As well as for the customers benefit for warranty and returns.
I'm sure there will be a lot of sex workers who will wish they had kept it as an under the table , under the radar activity and put up with some of the other risks associated with it after the Gov't starts to clamp their teeth into everyone's business for tax & licensing purposes. After all becoming legitimate and operating legally as individual or agency escorts will never protect any girl from a serial killer. Though it does reduce the risk from random acts of violence.

This means to be in compliance services will have to have GST & PST added on or "swallowed" by the SP and incl in their rate. CPP & EI premiums will have to be paid at self-employed rate, which is double what most people see if they work for a company. So at anything over 40K they will be paying 50% deductions on every dollar they make. May drive prices of higher quality SPs up but the added girls coming into the market may also drive the prices down.
Whatever the clients want to do with their escort services receipts is up to them (tear into a 100 pieces, burn in the car ashtray, etc.) but the SP would have to issue one. Not sure if this is going to happen in the real world.

Your Dad may have heard of this case in Winnipeg where the gov't spent a fortune just to nail one girl who was evading the tax man! So, yes it's true, if Rev. Canada decides to get you for tax evasion no expense is too great for them to bear. In the case I mentioned above, which took place many years ago in Winnipeg, the government was having difficulty in gaining evidence to nail an escort they knew had been evading taxes for years while running a very active ?house of ill repute?.

To finally get the evidence needed to convict her government agents actually watched the house 24/7, recorded traffic in and out of the house and even went through all her garbage and then by using traffic numbers and by the number of condoms and other materials recovered from the trash, estimated the income and successfully prosecuted her and provided the local papers with great sales for weeks. In the end she was required to pay tax on the income estimated by the tax department whether rightly or not!

Your right for the Gov't it is all about sending a PUBLIC message.."DONT FUCK WITH US! Cuz we will fuck you up!"
Kind of like the Mafia or drug cartels do! LOL.
