I'm not saying that CRA, IRS or anyone else looks at whois info to find who is evading income tax. I'm simply saying that if they were to do so, privacy protection wouldn't be much of a roadblock to them.

do you think that the US/Canadian/French/Polish etc government monitors weekly all whois data for all internet domain names that are in commercial use, then checks out who's the real owner behind the whois protection and then compares all the data with their national tax reports to see if they have some citizens who run any kind of profit making internet sites but dont declare the income in their tax forms?
you have to be flaged somehow before ( or run a big operation ) before they manually deal with you and try to find out everything that you own etc
it's not that I register a new domain with whois protection, set up some fake TGP, buy broker Traffic, make some sales and 2 months after that that IRS will already know that I operate such site |
