In this powerful short video, Kevin J. Johnston—Canada’s leading expert in income and corporate tax—delivers a clear warning to all Canadians:
Do NOT take tax advice from the Canada Revenue Agency.
The CRA may appear helpful, but their “guidance” is designed to benefit them, not you. When you call in asking questions, everything you say can and will be used against you.
⚠️ CRA Help Lines Are a Legal Trap
Here’s what Kevin reveals in this eye-opening video:
CRA reps aren’t legally accountable for the advice they give
Your call is recorded, but they’re not obligated to tell you
Wrong advice = your legal responsibility, not theirs
CRA is not your accountant—it’s your opponent in a financial war
Don’t hand over information that could be used to audit, penalize, or trap you.
✅ What to Do Instead
If you're unsure about your taxes, here’s what Kevin recommends:
Hire a professional—not someone who works for the enemy
Get strategic legal support, not “friendly” advice from a system designed to collect
Know your rights before disclosing anything to the CRA
🔥 Knowledge Is Protection
The CRA’s greatest weapon isn’t their power—it’s your ignorance of your rights. Kevin J. Johnston has been dismantling these deceptive tactics for over 40 years. This isn’t fearmongering—it’s a call to protect yourself legally, financially, and strategically.
