1200215 2011-05-08 23:04:00 That sort of bill, it sounds like she had never paid gst in 20 years....

I agree, it seems highly likely that neither GST nor Income Tax was paid (or was short-paid) over the whole twenty years, consequently the seven years of records probably didn't apply. The latter may only be for routine audits perhaps?

Why anybody would sympathise with their situation though I simply don't understand, they've been bludging off (or stealing from) ewenme for two decades and they got caught. Tough.

They are lucky they are not in China, where they probably would be in jail or executed for theft from the State.

You have a point of course B, but it is natural to have a dislike of over enthusiastic tax gatherers.

1200218 2011-05-09 09:12:00 Good to see the Tax guys doing their job and chasing down those who don't pay up. Ok so they gave a bit of a discount on their initial assessment but I guess getting half the tax owed was better than getting none. Who says the Tax guys don't have a heart? Twelvevolts (5457)
