CRA survey highlights ambivalent feelings about tax cheats

The people who prepare Canadian tax returns for a living are surprisingly tolerant of tax cheaters and the underground economy, according a survey by the Canada Revenue Agency.
Many think it’s fine to for a business to hide its cash income in order to avoid tax, or for people to conceal capital gains.
And fewer than half believe that the government does useful work with tax money.
They have told all this to the CRA, which did a survey of public attitudes toward taxes and to the CRA itself.
