Zombies don't pay taxes

Being a Zombie sometimes can be a drag but also has its advantages, for example, if you are a zombie you don't have to pay taxes, as you are not a "person" according to the Income Tax Act.

To make a point, a fellow Canadian zombie (oh, those Canadians!) has argued in court that he was not a person as defined under the Income Tax Act, so he shouldn't have to pay taxes. In the other hand, the court wants to convict him on five counts of failing to file income tax returns for five years. He was sentenced to 150 days in jail and fined $5,000.

This highly respected zombie appealed his convictions and his sentence by arguing that he did not meet the legal definition as a person. Legally, a person is 1) a human being. 2) A corporation treated as having the rights and obligations of a person. He defines himself as a full liability free will flesh and blood living man, which does not match the legal definition of a man.

He maintains that anyone has the right to render oneself a non "person" for purposes of the statue, and thereby render oneself not subject to the Act. He calls himself the Unlicensed Man and tours the country giving seminars on what he refers as the Tax Freedom Movement. He maintains that taxation is theft.

He was given 90 days to pay the fine and failure to pay it will result in further jail time.

Where this good fellow failed is to actually acknowledge that he is a simple zombie. He did not noticed the fact that zombies are tax-free entities, as we don't fit the definition of a "person" as per the Tax Act. Being a zombie has its advantages!
