Starting to put my taxes together for the year. Now in the tax forms the government expects us to post the URLs of the sites we derive our income from (fortunately, I only make money from a couple  the rest are immaterial). I don't mind doing it but it is yet one more hassle they dump on us for the privilege of having our money taken.

You add this to all the documentation required for stock trading etc. etc. etc. What a freakin' waste of time. I've already wasted close to four hours doing this. If you add another 15 million taxpayers in Canada, that is maybe another 60 million man hours wasted for nothing! If they just had a basic sales tax and business tax then all the other compliance would not be needed.

I don't hate taxes (they are a necessary evil) but I hate all the paperwork!   

Wow, you actually get the option to put URL sites as an income source in Canada? 

I guess I must be glad our government is still so backwater...

Oh nice. And I thought I had it bad. Yes, thank goodness for online payments. We do that very well now.

edit: those lineups are the government's version of social networking 

This is another good reason to reinvest your earnings until your gains get substantial and you can take them out in large chunks. If we are supposed to detail all the little earnings payments we get from sites to the government, this could create a headache. Just the pages it took to account for what I paid/received in 3 payment processors took 15 pages of printed copy (thankfully, I don't need to send that to the government)
