Reasonsfor
Judgment
Tardif,
J.T.C.C.
[1]
This is an appeal for the 1992 and 1993 taxation years. The
burden of proof was on the appellant.
[2]
In support of his appeal, the appellant basically indicated that
he paid an accountant a few hundred dollars in fees every year to
have him do various compilations and prepare on his behalf the
relevant returns for both levels of government.
[3]
He stated that he consequently did not understand the reason for
the assessment and above all that he was unable to pay anything
as life was very difficult for him.
[4]
In response to the Court's questions, the appellant admitted
that he was indeed a self-employed worker at the time of
the facts on which the assessment is based.
[5]
Since the appellant did not adduce any relevant evidence against
the assessment at issue in this appeal, his testimony having
served mainly to describe his very limited ability to pay, the
Court must dismiss the appeal.
Signed at Ottawa, Canada, this 6th day of
March 2001.
