The day is coming... Are You Ready?

The official end to the individual tax year is April 30. Today is the 29, leaving two days to face the inevitable tax man. The wording "tax man" leaves a question in itself. Is it the tax man or a tax man. Is CRA as a body refered to as a singular person or as a plural as tax men. I suppose the more gender neutral abbreviations would be classifying the tax authorities as "tax persons" or more properly "tax men and women".

Back to the first sentance, the reason of the two days can be attributed to the old Lords day Act, in which government business could not be conducted on a Sunday. Some Canadians who have left there taxes to the last possible day have until mid night May 1, to file their final return of the year. Of course if the government owes you a refund they will be happy for you to file late or not at all. Remember when you file it should be automatic to check the voting register box.
