不列颠哥伦比亚省一对夫妇,Russell Porisky和Elaine Gould, 已经输掉了对一笔140万美元的税收评估的上诉, A British Columbia couple, Russell Porisky and Elaine Gould, have lost their appeal against a $1.4 million tax assessment linked to their anti-tax seminars through the defunct Paradigm Education Group. 联邦上诉法院维持了先前的一项裁决,即他们的活动产生应纳税收入,驳回了他们关于《所得税法》不适用的说法。 The Federal Court of Appeal upheld a prior ruling that their activities generated taxable income, rejecting their claim that the Income Tax Act did not apply. 法院驳回了他们的假法律论点,包括自然人与人造人之间“质量”的虚假概念和所得税构成奴役的概念。 The court dismissed their pseudolegal arguments, including the false notion of a "duality" between natural and artificial persons and the idea that income tax constitutes slavery. 两人以前都曾被判逃税,Poriski被判处五年半监禁和罚款239 000美元,Gould被判处六个月监禁,罚款38 000美元以上。 Both were previously convicted of tax evasion, with Porisky receiving a five-and-a-half-year prison sentence and a $239,000 fine, and Gould sentenced to six months in prison and fined over $38,000. 一些同伙也因类似计划被定罪。 Several associates were also convicted for similar schemes. 加拿大税务局继续将此类活动归类为税务抗议,并强调个人必须遵守税法,不论个人信仰如何。 The Canada Revenue Agency continues to classify such activities as tax protest and emphasizes that individuals must comply with tax laws regardless of personal beliefs.
