There is an address that people can send a letter to the CRA.

I wonder if she reported the $4,000 bike. Her original free car (the Van), did she pay tax on all the free stuff from her home and cottage reno? Like the new kitchen?

For every single item she is gifted, every hotel room, every trip to Club Med, Disney, etc., she owes the tax on that item, service, or trip, and she has to pay market value.

For example, the bike: she owes $535; the Club Med trip: $1,695; and the van: $10,450. The laser facials are $910. A couple of packs of Quickies for $26, a family trip to Disney (min $2, 300), the kitchen $6,500, all the clothing, she owes TAX on it all. ALL OF IT!

It's always been this way. This is why broadcast and publishing companies don't allow editors, producers or hosts to accept gifts over $300. Gifts under $300 must be approved. Trips must be approved because the companies paid the tax. Beauty products sent to magazines stay in the office, are used for testing or photography, and are then donated to a shelter or sold for donation.

The few items mentioned that Sarah and Shane received are a drop in the bucket, and they bring their tax owed to $20,721. Sarah is listed on many ranking charts as Canada's #1 influencer. She has posted being gifted all these items. There are clips of her stories where she shows off her freebies.

She could be a precedent-setting audit. 😂
