It's bound to happen sooner or later. Why not now?

Do you expect to get a tax refund this year? How much?

Our taxes are very high in Canada. Most people try to not have to pay any by putting them into RRSP's - I had to yank a chunk out this year. Even though I contributed about $100 more monthly, I had better not have to pay any more to those bas-----ds or I will be really pissed.

Geez, NV, I would be upset too. I pay enough, they say Cdns. pay about 1/3 of their salary. They say that it is usually June when your paycheck is your paycheck, and that you have paid your basic taxes for the year. It mostly is the Corporate people that have so many tax shelters that they end up getting nice chunks back.

I just can't say enough about the tax I owe. The government is going to take about $20,000 from me - I have been saving and saving and saving for the IRS. It is such crap to get money and know it goes straight to the IRS. Maybe I should be poor and sick again.

I worked damned hard to get what I have and the government is taking 35%.
