      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.
