It's not that CRA doesn't cabbies to be contractors, its that they require all taxi drivers to register for and collect GST/HST- taxi industry does not qualify for the sub-$30K exemption. The reason for this was that otherwise, there were fears from full-time drivers that part-time drivers, making under $30K/year, would be favoured by customers over full-time drivers.

That's fair, and definitely clarifies what the person I was replying to meant in a way that makes sense. Thanks.

I do think it was pretty unclear though if you go up the reply chain. :)
