CRA finally agrees woman, 94, does not owe it $1,200

Canada Revenue Agency has agreed that Elizabeth LeMoine, 94, does not owe the government $1,200 related to the sale of her home. The resolution to the insistent demand came after Global News about the demand. That inspired the CRA to contact Ms. LeMoine, and her daughter Christine, of Bradford, and actually talk about the matter.  The family complained that it had been unable to get through to a real person by phone to discuss the claim. “We’re appreciative of all the help and most of all, we appreciate that it has all been resolved,” said Elizabeth, whose daughter Christine emailed Global News when the pair could not get an explanation for the tax bill. Global reported that the CRA believed Elizabeth had moved to live with her daughter in Ontario in 2016. She actually relocated in 2017 when she sold her house in Pasadena, Newfoundland, and moved to Bradford, north of Toronto.
