Tax Deadline - Does if affect your Sexpenditures?

[pervypervison]

Some SPs had mentioned to me recently that business was slower recently when compared to the beginning of the month. In my mind I figured it was likely due to the looming tax payments many might have. But it was just a hunch, so I figured I'd see if it's an actual thing or if i should stop bullshitting people

It could be true depending what ones income is. For most who are average income owners costs could be a factor this time of year. For myself, I owed due to capital gains taxes, I have upcoming Condo ( if you own a place ) and vehicle insurance, upcoming property tax. People could saving up for upcoming travel vacations etc etc. It could be slower for some.

My accountant died suddenly and left a mess.
This is not good.

Tax time normally has no effect of when I go out for a little fun. If anything, the extra money I've raked in lately has had me having even MORE fun.

If only we can claim pooning expenses along with vet fees I will be golden. Call it mental health related expenses and dependent medical fees. I joke of course as I am not an expert.

I'm still trying to write off my pooning sessions as "massage therapy".

I received a nice refund. But that only means I gave them too much to begin with. Every cent went into savings, destined for a TFSA.

I haven’t seen any reviews for “Savings” and “TFSA”. Are they new to industry?

I should save the shop etransfer profiles under one of those 🤣🤣

"why are there so many etranfers to TSFA on your account??"

"I'm working hard to save up".... for someone else's retirement 🥲

The government has no money, only yours. You just got some of yours back.

I actually spend more
But only becuz my fav girl was visiting and my BD is close, so I decided to reward myself.
Plus I will get chunky rebate from the gov't. Taxes won't be pretty next year, so better spend now.

That's kinda what I said.

For SPs that have come here for tours in years past, they've noticed a downward trend in volume. hard to gauge the impact across varying factors, based on the the responses to this poll, doesn't seem like tax season has a material impact on the pooning economy

It will affect me. Made huge profits last year, which means big taxes. The exhorbitant installments didn't cover half.

Problem is, the profits are all on paper. I lived on basically a fixed income, although I can tap the keg if I need to.

Combined Provincial and Federal marginal tax rates.
BC = 53.5%
AB = 48.0%
SK = 47.5%
MB = 50.4%

It sucks when over half your money goes to the government. Those numbers are just income tax and do not include other forms of provincial and federal taxes, and then add on municipal taxes.

If you factor in PST, GST and property taxes, I'm probably at 65% to government.

And in return, I get clogged, pot-holed roads, no police response to break-ins, addicts camping on my street, no doctor, impossible ER waits. But hey - as much free Narcan as anyone can take.
