Title: Taxes
Post by: Scramble on April 28, 2006, 10:47:30 AM

Because the accounting company hasn't been taking Federal and Provincial off my pay, I owe $900 this year. I was expecting to get money back. This is a real kick in the jar.

I figured out that 60% of my income and my wife's income are taken in taxes.

Granted - taxes pay my salary. But not your taxes. ;-)

Amazing how that adds up though.

This was a good year for me. I got back $995.00. Upgrading my wood stove to a gas stove with the money.

I just got the whole story from the accountant. Ends up I'm getting back about $450 in GST, so I'm half as deep in the hole as I thought. Still sucks.

Are you speaking from experience or just being optimistic?

4500?  It's time to start putting money away into a RRSP. I got 3 grand back as a result and would of had more for a mis calculation I made.

OUC freakin H! I guess Indie rock bands pay a lot better than I thought.

RSP's and RESPs. I have no shortage of ways to hide my government money from the government.

I think I've lost about that much on the band. Next year I'm writing it all off...
