CRA is running a public consultation on automatic tax filing. You can fill it out here.

Here's the verbiage about the project

It's unbelievable that Canada makes people with trivial tax needs jump through so many hoops. If someone is elderly and poor, they need to file taxes to receive their full benefits. That's a huge barrier to many people.

StudioTax is like $15 for 20 returns, you fill in the boxes based on your T4 etc and in less than 15 minutes you can netfile your return. What used to take me two days of self-employed business and personal tax work, is now done in half hour.

I mean for the actual entry of my tax return, yeah. Like a half hour. Then I spend triple that quadruple checking everything and opening up all the tax forms and making sure everything is in the right boxes (I've seen that fuck up more than once, even with the so called error free platforms).

But it's not even that, it's all the god damn legwork that takes place before the return gets filled out, that takes me days

We have online system here so you can use, say Studio tax, to login to your CRA account and it auto downloads all the documents and prefills the entries.
