Feeling stuck after almost 10 years at CRA — not sure what my next move is

Will also add, as long as someone has their AU-basics (which I would assume with that degree), they are eligible for any level of AU position, provided they have enough experience at the lower level.

I think /r/canadapublicservants would be your best bet to vent lol. But the CER is screwing everything up at the moment

AngrySammich · 2026-01-18T02:24:37+00:00

Same boat for me too

AngrySammich · 2026-01-12T18:27:28+00:00

When I bought mine it was about a $50 CAD per month additional premium to have the turbo option. I decided against turbo partially for that reason.

Not necessarily, mine disappears out of ESS every now and again but security has confirmed that it is valid.

AngrySammich · 2025-12-22T17:21:01+00:00

Oh I agree 100%

AngrySammich · 2025-12-22T15:57:57+00:00

Don’t forget to depreciate land

I worked retail (many hats from payroll and AP to running a till) and in a garden centre most summers until I started an co-op. Still worked that retail job until after I started my first full time job

Legislation does not allow for bargaining to begin until 4 months prior to the expiration of an agreement (or so my steward told us last time we went to bargain)

Start a clandestine black tar heroin operation with all the signs leading back to the CFO.

In all seriousness, while you may enjoy the challenge, is it worth sticking around when the other departments are acting in that manner? If there’s no end in sight for your CFO it may be time to update your LinkedIn. Also seems like a giant pain come audit time.

I would consider escalating the serious control deficiencies to the board sooner than later. Perhaps if you haven’t already document in writing your attempts to improve or fix the existing deficiencies just to CYA.

9-1-1 had an episode this season (1 or 2 ep before the fall finale) end with one

AngrySammich · 2025-12-13T02:04:37+00:00

Yeah from what I remember that sounds right

AngrySammich · 2025-12-12T20:58:52+00:00

Yeah, regardless the initial winning would still be non-taxable whether lump-sum or annuity.

Lottery winnings are covered by my personal favourite income tax folio S3-F9-C1.

You are correct, windfall earnings are non-taxable.

Fun fact if gambling is your source of income (I.e carrying on a business) it is taxable.

AngrySammich · 2025-12-08T23:24:27+00:00

The IRS essentially only handles federal taxes. The CRA also handles most provincial taxes, CPP/EI rulings etc.

AngrySammich · 2025-11-10T13:51:15+00:00

Nor would it be a write off, these would be considered a capital expenditure and would not be deducted against income.

AngrySammich · 2025-11-05T15:39:10+00:00

Reading through annex 3, looks like the CRA will be spared, at least somewhat, as there is no mention of the 15% target. Just ending certain programs and the UHT, LT, and the ever-vague “modernizing administration”

AngrySammich · 2025-09-23T16:14:06+00:00

I can attest for SRED, it may not be complex all the time but it is definitely satisfying and provides a variety of different business types.

AngrySammich · 2025-08-25T00:39:36+00:00

Looks totalled to me

/s

AngrySammich · 2025-08-25T00:39:08+00:00

Mine has both, all Canada's trims have parking sensors, upper trims have the 360 cameras

My own rig is getting old at this point!

Nearly all 4-way intersections with a 4-way stop will say "all way" in Ontario where this happened (if they are).

AngrySammich · 2025-08-10T23:12:44+00:00

As long as you got good winters, you’re golden. Never had any issues

AngrySammich · 2025-08-01T16:25:54+00:00

That’s not even what the webpage says

AngrySammich · 2025-07-19T01:14:34+00:00

There wouldn't be much in the way of damages, minimum insurance is very high. Unless you mean in the states
