In this country, in contrast, both levels of governments have layered the system with credits supporting social and economic objectives: child care, medical expenses, disability supports, care-giving, moving costs, tuition, work-from-home expenses, tools for certain occupations, donations and many more. As a result, the CRA has enough third-party information to complete returns for only about a third of Canadians. The rest require input only taxpayers can provide. Even in countries with so-called “return-free” systems, such as the U.K., gig work, multiple jobs and new credits have increased reporting requirements.
