One of the anachronistic and unnecessary requirements of Canadians, Americans, and residents of many other countries at income tax time is the need to file their taxes.
I can hear the screams of the accounting and tax law practitioners! You're suggesting putting thousands out of work, but they are the ones who best know how to manipulate the system and still come out ahead.
UBI would be a far cheaper and more productive policy than keeping these counterproductive "jobs".
I guess I have a hard time with the colloquial use of the term "work" -- in science, "work is force times distance" and since there is no distance and only wasted force, no "work" actually happens in these firms.
Very good point, David. The tax system, while fair in brackets, is weighted to the more affluent when applying deductions. A revision of this garbled mess is definitely overdue! This where KISS is direly needed!😅
