Not directly on topic but of interest given my career as an ex CRA auditor. One not really applicable in Canada is the dangerous part. In my experience just a job.

I only had one taxpayer that was a concern about violence. He owned a fish processing plant and the issue was the value of the business at a specific date. He kept trying to get the appeals section to agree to his value by screaming and threatening to the point that the RCMP attended all the meetings. When an agreement was finally concluded he broke it the next day by coming in unannounced screaming and ranting demanding a better deal. Appeals gave up and told him to take it to court. I had to testify against him. I was told not to worry, there would be plenty of RCMP at the hearing. Great.
He had a history of violence, two ex wives and separated from his third, he used to beat them all up. A few days before the court hearing the problem solved itself. He was in my morning paper shot dead by police. He'd gone to his separated wife's house, beat her up and, when she fled, trashed the house. Ripped out fixtures, threw furniture through the windows, that kind of thing. When the police arrived he came out ranting and waving a gun at them so they shot him. Worked for me and apparently everybody else because there were no complaints whatever about the shooting. The estate quickly dropped the appeal and settled.
