Cartoon: Tax Burden


     The term “Tax Burden” generally refers to a huge amount of money to be paid in taxes.  With me, the term refers to the difficultly I have to motivate myself to organize all of that information needed to have my taxes done.  

    I used to struggle, I mean really struggle, to do my own income tax.  I had a small business, a small farm, and of course, just the taxes from working at the full time job at the BC Forest Service.  Trying to figure out how to fill out all of the tax forms, left me totally bewildered and frustrated, but I muddled through the best I could.

    Now, I hire a local business to do my taxes, but I still find it burdensome just to organize all of the information that I need to submit to them, so they can do my taxes.  Throughout the year, I try to conscientiously save all of the needed receipts for the taxes, so it shouldn’t be that difficult for me to organize it, but I am finding it so hard just to make myself put it all together.

    I know down in the States, they have until April 15th to submit their taxes.  Fortunately, up here in Canada, I have until the end of the month, but I know I’d better get at it pretty soon.
