I don't know how many of you are aware, but there are similar types of taxes that are imposed at the municipal level, and they are relatively straightforward. You have your roll number. You just click a button and you can do it in a matter of seconds.
That's largely thanks to the fact that municipalities have access to property ownership data and can reach out directly to property owners. The federal government doesn't have that same luxury, so in the form we have it's a bit more complex in the sense that we're trying to gather a bit more data.
The form is not that complex, though. It asks for some basic tombstone data, a bit of data about the property, and then you check a box if you're entitled to an exemption.
We have heard that accountant fees are high, between $500 and $1,000. I can't speculate on whether that will change, but that does seem high to me.
