        I think what they meant was forcing people to do it all by hand invites mistakes, which are then fined.

          Happened to my dad once in Canada.

          He missed a savings/checking account which earned some interest. CRA knows about these as the bank sends it to them.

          They made a big deal about hiding it and fined him with interest.

          It’s totally stupid.
