Has anyone heard about how to declare yourself as a natural person in Canada to avoid paying taxes?



I have recently heard of someone who has declared himself as a natural person to avoid paying taxes. You can also avoid paying taxes by calling yourself a religious order, but I'm not interested in that. Any info on the "Natural Person" angle?

As opposed to an unnatural person? (heh, heh)

Someone who is naturalized is from another country but living in Canada. A naturalized citizen will still need to pay Canadian taxes.
Do you mean Native? You have to have the proper documentation. The Gov. then gives you native status and you are exempt from paying taxes. Canadian Indians deserve more than what they are getting.
no but I once had myself declared legally dead here in the US and did not have to pay taxes for a couple of years.
I am not sure about Canada, but in the US people have been trying this scam for years. They declare themselves a natural person, non-taxpayer, etc. and send some long winded letter to the IRS. They then stop filing returns. Eventually, the IRS catches up to them and makes their life a living hell. So far, the natural person argument is batting .000 in court in the US, and I assume, the results will be rather similar in the Great White North.
A 'Natural Person' is a Native American.. and you can only use this angle if you can prove that you're half Native, or that your mother or father was AT LEAST 1/2 Native American.

The only way to do this is by applying to the government .. they would know wether or not your parents have Native Status, and from there, they would be able to determine if you have enough native in you to achieve status as well.
