CRA does not charge Alberta for collecting provincial income taxes. So, this would be a new, annual expense Alberta taxpayers would bear. Along with the hassle of filing two separate tax returns and dealing with two separate revenue agencies.

When I asked the Finance Minister the cost of AB tax collection agency, he said minimum $500 million a year.
