Thank you, Sir.

Hi Lasz,

I log into the CRA via my personal banking profile. Once logged in, you
have access to my personal tax information, along with all the companies
I'm registered to as an officer. I'm not comfortable sharing that access.

I'm sure additional members can be added although I'm not familiar with the
regulations governing access. I would think KPMG can solve this for you.

Tim,

Need your help here. Bottom line is we need to setup payment plans for the
taxes owed and sounds like that needs to go through you for some reason.
Help me to understand what we need to do to move this forward.

Thanks,

Hi Dylan-

Tim would be best to address your access question.

However, I am certain that Tax does not have access to the Canadian Revenue
site in which payment plans are created. Tim and KPMG have their own
logins, and both have previously stated those logins will not be shared
with tax for various reasons.

I believe someone from Treasury will need to compel Tim to share. Tax has
tried with no success.

We have little info regarding the payment plan process. Not sure if we can
pay the installments via wire transfer or must initiate from Tim’s CAD bank
account that is currently tied to the CRA account.

Furthermore, as with most government entities, the CRA will not speak to
anyone other than Tim about tax matters.

To say Tax is in “no mans land” is accurate here.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

Hi Michael,

Can you and/or Seth please provide some clarification for me on this?

Does each site have their own login information to log in and set up a
payment plan? And if that is the case, it sounds like you are saying that
none of the sites want to share their login credentials with you? I
understand that from the site perspective they would be hesitant to share
credentials, but we are strapped for cash right now and this would be
considered a business critical function and a trigger we need to pull to
conserve cash. I think we need to push back on their reluctance to give
credentials.

Additionally, do wire payments not need to be made through the individual
websites or do you have the wire information already for us to initiate out
of our bank? Again, I want to avoid paying the lump sums and go with the
payment plan, just trying to understand the differences.

Thank you,

Dylan

Seth asked everyone and we are unable to get into any of the sites as no
one will give us the username and passwords. Seth can provide more
detail. Tim states he will not give them as they are linked to his personal
bank account. We are going to have to pay via wire transfer. We can wait
until next week or the week after but we are going to have to pay in full.
Thank you

Hi Michael,

Checking in to see what progress was made in setting up the payment plans
for this.

Do you have an idea of amounts and timing of payments so that we can update
our cash forecast?

Thank you,

Dylan

yes the payment plan will delay payment of the entire amount.

Gotcha. Please keep us posted as real time as you can. We have weekly
liquidity reporting that we share with the ELT and Summit. If we have to
pay any portion of that $2m next week it will impact our reporting and
we’ll need an explanation to share with everyone. Preference is to keep all
of the $2m out of next week, but even then still we’ll want to put the
payment plan details in the forecast.

Yes we can using a JPM in Canada. What we need to do is file the returns
first then log into each entity's site and set up the payment plan via
direct debit. Bear with me as I have never done this before in the past in
Canada but it's all set up through the site. Paying via bank account though
the site is always better as with wire not all of the payments get there or
get stuck in limbo causing a lot of issues for us.

But JPMC has Canadian accounts. Does the bank have to be domiciled in

The only hiccup is the way we have to pay with the wires. If we used a
Canadian bank account for payment it would a lot easier.

Man, that’s brutal. We’re up against it with cash right now and this is a
huge surprise. Is there anything we can do to stagger these payments at
all?

I really need you to connect with Dylan and work with him so he has an
understanding of what tax payments we have upcoming so we can include them
in our forecast and avoid these types of surprises going forward.

Hi

Hope all is going well and you are enjoying the warmer weather. The returns
are due Monday so we were planning on putting the wire's in then but if you
need us to wait a little longer we can but it would have to be early to mid
week next week. Thank you

Hey my friend. I hope life (and you new boss) has been good to you since

Can you help me to get a sense of timing for when these tax bills are due?
Are they all immediate or do we have time?
