Ive got a quick question about doing a Canadian Tax Return

I worked all last tax year in Canada, now im back in Aus and want to get my hard earned money back that the government took.

Anyway, Ive decided to do it myself since when I got a quote for one of the tax return places on the internet they were going to charge my about $350CAD for their services which i consider a bit too steep. Especially when you couldnt have a more straight forward tax return then mine.


Ive filled out all the forms and want to send it off to the Canadian Tax Office.

Do I have to include original copies of my T4 forms with my tax return along with my claim?


Thanks for your help

anyone?

what do you guys do in the US id imagin it would be the same?

do you have to send in your group forms from your employers along with your tax return?

do they take as much from Canadians as they take from us here in the US?

They took about $CAD3k inc insurance and other stuff
from earning $CAD15k,

I should get just under $CAD1.5k, back

Its a bit more then in Australia for similar numbers

how much is in the US?

Yes you have to send the original copy.

BTW, US resident got it easy... some of us (not me ) have to give up to 45% of their salary in income taxe....

So a dude who makes 100k a year only got around 55k in is pocket in the end.... And I'm not even talking about that 15% sales taxe...

I'd gladly pay an extra 15% in taxes if I got health insurance.
At least you get something for your money.
