Shopify CEO promises to fight the request, calling the action ‘low-key overreach.’ Expert says data includes ‘everything the CRA needs to audit these businesses.’
In some ways I feel like this can be the CRA working with accounting software for better integration. If you’re running a side hustle you should be paying your taxes.
That said I worry this is going to nab the person who maybe makes a few hundred a year selling shit online to subsidize their day job and they’re a lot easier of a target than a large operation commuting tax fraud; the CRA has a history of picking the former.
Not a great look for Shopify IMO.
Why would you want to facilitate tax evasion?I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just an empty gesture towards their customers. Unless there’s actually something they can do to stop it.
