They Can't Get Enough Of Me.
Back in my early days of working at Corporate Images I used to work a lot of overtime. In fact, I worked an insane amount of overtime.
This very much pleased "The Taxman" as he reached deep into my pockets every two weeks and helped himself to what he wanted, usually only leaving behind a few bucks for gas and my testicles. Well, when it came to tax time one year I noticed on my statement that the government had helped itself to around ten thousand of my dollars.... which is a lot of money when you're making 12 dollars an hour. I thought I was going to get a huge refund that year so as soon as I got my T4 slip I headed down to H&R Block as fast as the tow truck could tow me. After all that was said and done I was politely told that I now owe the government an additional $65.00.
*snap*
Say what? After working seven days a damn week for almost 6 months while you're stealing 10 grand from me you dare ask for an additional $65.00?? I stood up from the desk and walked out and thought there is NO way I'm putting up with that crap!!
Fast forward three or four years, and four or five notices that I have yet to file my taxes for the last four years and I now owe them bastards $536.00. I know, I'll just run away and move to the States!! :)
Anyway, I decided to file for the first half of 2003 and finish off all my dealings with the Canadian government once and for all. I get my assessment back and apparently I'm owed a refund of $540.00. Awesome, they should just cancel each other out and now I'm a free man again!
I have been waiting about three weeks for a letter from the Can-Feds stating that everything is status quo and sure enough, it arrived today in the mail. They were nice enough to add another set of interest changes on my previous debt balance and they now want an additional $13.69 to clear the account.
I think I'm going to be sick, but before I do that I'm going back to Canada first and start spending my ten grand.
