Free/Libre Canadian Tax Preparation Software Project
The members of LibrePlanet Ontario have identified a need to have Free Software for the preparation of Canadian tax returns. This is the project co-ordination page for creating such software.
From the Group:LibrePlanet Ontario#Projects section:
- Developing free software tools for working with Canadian Tax data from an XML file and being able to send that tax file directly to the CRA using their protocol
- XML specifications are available for files but not for the protocol: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/esrvc-srvce/rf/xmlspcs2016/menu-eng.html
- CRA only recommends proprietary tools for proprietary operating systems: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/esrvc-srvce/tx/ndvdls/netfile-impotnet/crtfdsftwr/menu-eng.html
- Suggest that the tax specification files and the protocol for sending tax files become another open data set: http://open.canada.ca/en/suggested-datasets
- Need to create a dummy/test .tax file for developers to use
