Paradigm De-taxer Guilty of Tax Evasion

Richard Cory Stanchfield was an “educator” for the discredited Paradigm Education Group, a de-taxer group that claims Canadians do not have to pay income tax. A Canada Revenue Agency tax evasion investigation found that he failed to report over $200,000 in taxable income for the 2003 to 2008 tax years and that he evaded over $31,000 in Canadian income tax. He received a 14-month conditional sentence, which includes nine months of house arrest and 80 hours of community service. He was also fined $31,012, which represented the full amount of federal income tax that was evaded. Paradigm participants have consistently been found guilty of tax evasion.
