folks, @whit537 is at it again and just dropped a barn burner about the #CRA, #OSS Stewards, Borland Turbo Pascal, and uh, green onions. (just read it, I promise it all comes together)
Grr - taxes filed, but my payable has an exta $3.90 added on.
I remember seeing this last year, where it claimed I paid something late, while their own payment records showed I was many days early. To my complaints then I was told it would go away. :(
So do I bother to try and track it down and spend hours on the phone again, or do I just pay the $4 Bureaucratic Ineptitude Tax and be done with it?
I just filed my tax return and paid the amount owing too, five days before the due date.
Tax office told me they assume I probably won't pay until oh, say… (wet finger in the wind) maybe May 6. They calculate an arrears interest charge for then and add it to my tab.
On phone they asked: "Oh you didn't pay that did you? It'll just go away when we settle the account."
They pre-charge a late fee before anything is late.
A small change to the most recent (Parliament-approved) version of the Cyber Resilience Act (#CRA) is the addition of a requirement that software be "openly shared" in order for the European Union to consider it #OpenSource in relation to the CRA.
Today, I was a panelist on behalf of @cyberladies at Czech Open Source Policy Forum, discussing with @RezzaBuh and others the current version of Cyber Resilience Act.
Also, this conference is an official start of the first Czech OSPO (Open Source Program Office), created by Open Cities NGO here in Brno, Czech Republic.
💡 Last month, the DMA came into force and we launched a website about #DeviceNeutrality, the #EU parliament voted the #CRA and the #PLD, and we released a guide to get active for the upcoming 🇪🇺 #EUelections. 🚀
Looks like the big #OpenSource foundations have got tired of being blocked by the #standards massif amd the @EU_Commission over #CRA standards and are organising their own initiative.
#ThePHPFoundation, alongside leading open source organizations including the #Apache SoftwareFoundation, #Blender Foundation, #OpenSSL Software Foundation, #Python Software Foundation, #Rust Foundation, and #Eclipse Foundation, announced today a collaborative initiative aimed at establishing common cybersecurity standards in alignment with the European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (#CRA):
By any chance does any other Canadian people working from home can share example of how they had the T2200 form filled in for tax year 2023?
My previous employer (ahem GOOG cough cough) said I should fill it in myself first, and then ask my previous manager to review and verify. Only then they will put in the final signature on the form 😵💫
Que ce sont les lieux d’enfermement qui posent problème et pas les gens qui y sont parqué·e·s. Que les entreprises telles que Engie, Vinci, Eiffage ou Air France bénéficient du business de l’enfermement des personnes sans papiers, et que le contrôle et la charité ne sont pas des moyens de lutter contre les logiques racistes de tri des personnes et d’infantilisation à l’oeuvre dans certaines associations.
Recherche de vieux téléphones portables sans caméra ( ou caméra cassée) pour des personnes exilées enfermées en Centre de Rétention Administrative, pour qu’elles puissent contacter leurs proches. Les cabines téléphoniques du #CRA leur sont souvent inaccessibles, ou même cassées, et l’Etat ne les répare pas.
Vous pouvez déposer vos vieux tel à la CNT, 32 rue d’arras, le lundi de 15 à 18h ou le mardi de 18 à 19h. Muchas gracias !
This week’s topic in How to do your Canadian taxes is about multiple payee’s (or employers)..
If you are receiving multiple sources of income, your primary source of income should typically be the only one accounting for your personal amount deductions. Make sure secondary payee’s, (ex: CPP, OAS, or 2nd employment) are not also claiming these amounts for you through payroll or it’ll increase your tax owing at the end of the year.
What’s also great is that you claim medical expenses for a 12-month period, and only the last medical receipt in that 12-months needs to fall into the current tax year.
This means for 2023 taxes, you can either claim medical expenses incurred within 2023.. OR you could go back as far as January 2nd 2022 to January 1st 2023 (so long as you paid for a medical expense that day).
Also your pharmacy can print you a list of your prescription expenses very easily.
With excellent timing given the upcoming request for #standards for #CRA compliance and the forthcoming review of regulation 1025 and standards #policy, CJEU has ruled that "harmonised standards form part of EU law" and cannot be kept secret as there is always a public interest in their disclosure. Time for some modernisation.
