We can literally decrease the power criminals have in income and available assets, just by cracking down on unpaid taxes... business must start paying taxes in Canada as soon as it generates any income. The specific deadlines and thresholds depend on whether your business is GST/HST registered or Income Tax registered:Â
1. GST/HST (Sales Tax)
- The Threshold: You must register for and begin collecting/remitting GST/HST on your sales as soon as your worldwide, taxable business revenues exceed $30,000 in a single calendar quarter or over four consecutive calendar quarters.
- The Deadline: You stop being a "small supplier" on the day you exceed the threshold. You must start charging GST/HST no later than the day you make the supply that pushed you over the limit, and formally register with the CRA within 29 days.
2. Income Tax
- Sole Proprietorships / Partnerships: Business income is claimed on your personal tax return (T1). Taxes are due on April 30 of the following year.
- Corporations (T2): Any incorporated business must file a T2 return within six months after its fiscal year-end, regardless of revenue. Any outstanding taxes owed are generally due within two to three months of the fiscal year-end.
We all have to file taxes, we all have to prove income, to be fair...and safe.
Just because security, justice and politicians gave illegal activity a pass, charged women yet it's the act of paying that's illegal, does not legally exempt people from paying taxes...
We need to crack down on crime by collecting taxes...

Under Canadian tax law, all income is taxable regardless of whether the source of that income is legal or illegal.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is entirely indifferent to the legal nature of an activity; its sole concern is ensuring that the correct amount of income is reported and the required taxes are paid.

1. Legality vs. Taxability in Canadian Law
The legal framework governing this comes from longstanding jurisprudence and the Income Tax Act. In the landmark Supreme Court of Canada case 65302 British Columbia Ltd. v. Canada, the court solidified that income generated from illegal acts is fully liable to tax. This means that individuals earning income through sex work, drug trafficking, or fraud are legally obligated to file tax returns.
Furthermore, Canadian law permits taxpayers to deduct legitimate business expenses incurred to earn that illegal income—provided they keep accurate records and receipts.

Under the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act (Bill C-36), purchasing sexual services or materially benefiting from someone else's prostitution is illegal in Canada. However, selling one's own sexual services is protected from criminal liability.Department of Justice Canada

Pay GST/HST: If an independent sex worker’s taxable revenue exceeds $30,000 in a calendar year, they are legally required to register for a GST/HST account and collect sales tax from clients.

3. "Demand Noted by Incomes" -
- the CRA actively uses a Special Enforcement Program to audit individuals whose reported income does not match their visible lifestyle or net worth. If someone fails to report their income, the CRA will use banking records, asset purchases, and net-worth assessments to calculate the tax owed and issue penalties. Failing to report this income is legally classified as tax evasion, which carries severe criminal penalties entirely separate from any underlying criminal enterprises
Pay your taxes, stop feeding the corruption in the legal, justice and political forces that use the average Joe or John to create a system of distrust and illegal operations they claim they can arrest people for.
They can only arrest you for not paying taxes.
