Scammers can use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create fake websites that trick you into sharing personal or financial info.

Before you click:

✔️ Check the web address carefully
✔️ If you’re unsure, go to the official website directly instead of clicking a link

I had to share this post Not mine but so worth to read.

Teaching my daughter about payroll withholding

She did chores all week so I owe her $10

I hand her $7

> this isn't $10

"right, I withheld the rest"

> what does that mean

"I kept $3 of your money"

> but it's my money

"It was your money"

> what are you even doing with it?

"Funding household infrastructure"

> what

"The roof over your head. The hallway you walk through to get to the bathroom. The door locks that keep strangers out"

> you're charging me for the hallway

"I'm charging you for access to the hallway. The hallway itself was a capital expenditure"

> you're my dad. you're supposed to---

"I'm also your government"

> what if I don't want to pay for the hallway

"Then I can't guarantee the hallway"

> it's a hallway. It's already there

"For now"

She asks what else the $3 covers

"Meals, dispute resolution, nightlight maintenance"

> dispute resolution?

"When your brother takes your toys and I make him give them back. That's taxpayer funded"

> that's just parenting

"That's the Department of Justice"

> what about meals. You already feed me

"That's a social program. Not everyone qualifies"

> I'm your daughter

"Which is why you're currently enrolled"

She wants to see where the money goes

I tell her that would require a FOIA request

> what's that

"A form asking me to show you what I do with your money. Processing time is 6 to 8 weeks"

> 6 weeks to see where my $3 went?

"Could be longer. We're understaffed"

> there's two of you

She asks how she gets any of it back

"It's already spent"

> you spent my money already?

"We had a budget shortfall"

> you just took it 20 seconds ago

"And the deficit existed 30 seconds ago. The timing worked out"

> so I'm not getting it back

"I didn't say that. You might qualify for a refund"

> of my own money

"Correct. You just have to fill out a form telling me how much you made"

> you know how much I made. You paid me

"Right but I need you to tell me how much I paid you"

> so you already know the answer

"The point is compliance"

She asks what happens if she gets the number wrong

"Penalty"

> from the money I don't have because you already spent it?

"We could set up a payment plan"

> I'm 8

"Monthly installments. Very manageable"

> you're going to penalize me for getting wrong a number you already know and then make me pay you back with money you took from me

"Now you're getting it"

> I want to talk to mom

"Mom's not a qualified representative. She can't help you here"

She stormed off to her room saying how this is extortion

Slammed the door

That's my little citizen

I've never been more proud

Disability credit information

The fully digital disability tax credit (DTC) application form is available to applicants and their legal representatives. Applicants can complete Part A of the form online via My Account. To simplify the process and save time, the applicant’s portion of the form is prepopulated with information already on file at the CRA. Once completed, they will receive a reference number to give to their medical practitioner who will use it to complete Part B of the form online.

The traditional paper form will continue to be available to those who are unable to, or prefer not to, complete the application online. Paper copies of Form T2201, Disability Tax Credit Certificate, can be sent by mail to the Sudbury, Winnipeg or Jonquière tax centre, or submitted electronically using the secure Submit Documents tool in your CRA Account portal.

Government of B.C.

Budget 2026 announced an expansion of the provincial sales tax (PST) to certain professional services.

Subject to the Budget legislation receiving Royal Assent, PST will apply to the following services (at the rate of 7%) effective October 1, 2026:

* Accounting services, including bookkeeping and assurance services
* Architectural services
* Engineering and geoscience services
* Security services, including private Investigation services
* Non-residential real estate services, including trading services, rental property management services and strata management services
Note: Under the proposed legislation, the PST on architectural, engineering and geoscience services will apply to 30% of the purchase price of those services.

If you sell any of the above taxable services on or after October 1, 2026, you'll be required to charge and collect PST on those services, unless a specific exemption applies.

If you're not already registered to collect and remit PST, you will be required to register. You can register up to six months before your first taxable sale. For example, if you're not currently registered, but will be selling newly taxable professional services on October 1, 2026, you can register as of April 1, 2026 (not before). If you're required to register, you will be required to register online.
