Does this not raise the question, "why bother"?

 

Is this just to show you're drinking buddies that 'you're the man'?

 

Pink ID card / Yellow book, complete waste of time as mentioned many times.

 

I think it depends on the individual.

 

Given the local RD office refused me a Thai Tax ID, which I needed for some foreign trading accounts,  by using my Thai pink ID #, in place of a Thai tax ID #, I was able to ( in a very timely time critical moment) unfreeze and transfer the trading accounts, and earn over $100k Cdn$. With out the pink ID I would have missed the stock buying opportunity that made me a lot of money. 

 

So a waste of time? I guess it all relative.  I am not so wealthy that I consider $100k Cdn$ a waste. Good for you that you have so much money that you can thumb your nose at $100k Cdn$. I can only wish to have that much money to consider such a waste.

 

Again,  it depends on the individual and their situation.

Lol.

 

I wish Revenue Canada saw it that way. Then my Canadian taxes would be much less.  😅
