EDMONTON: The Federal government will declare an income tax amnesty for Canadians who have fallen behind on their taxes, Revenue Minister Garth Turner said, “Were not going to prosecute, ‘we are not going to throw you in jail. If you need two years to pay, fine, that’s cool,” Turner said. Under the amnesty, taxpayers could contact Revenue Canada and work out a flexible payment plan that avoids running up penalties and fees.
