Now of course we all have the right to appeal questionable
assessments. So, for example let's say that you're unjustly reassessed
with tax, penalty and interest totalling $1000. To fight this you may
have to pay an accountant to help you out. If you go to court you may
decide on hiring legal representation. You have to take a day or more
off work to prepare everything and appear in court - that's lost pay.
There's the time and expense of travel. And the possibility of further
appeals. This could all add up to $1000. Or more. Much more. And of
course the aggravation and stress. So in the end very often it is
cheaper to pay tax that you don't owe than to challenge a bogus
assessment.

And some feel that by paying a tax debt that they don't owe that the
CRA will just let them be while if they challenge... well the CRA will
just go after them with a vengeance. But is this true? Or does it just
make them bolder? If we got an extra $1000 this tax year why not go
for $1500 the next?

TELL ME ABOUT IT!!  My problem exactly AND over nickels and dimes.
