The Canada Revenue Agency no longer mails out standard income tax forms unless you first call and request them. We are expected by law to file are income tax and yet you either have to go and pick up the forms to do this, or call and order them at in this day and age with the use of cell phones is an expense, or you have to pay for software to file on line. I find it absurd that the government does not have a free program available to Canadians online so that they are able to file their taxes. Why would the government cause individuals to have to pay for online services, therefore just once again making someone else money. We as individuals have a right to be provided this service for free, it should not cost us additional funds to perform a function we are required by law to do. If private business can come out with online filing software, why cant the Canadian government, why should we be required to purchase something .
