Personal Tax

Let us help you

  • Appeal adverse reassessments and audits.
  • Deal with CRA auditors and queries (audit support and representation).
  • Fight CRA in Tax Court.
  • File your personal taxes (current and prior years).

Our goal is to help you pay the least amount of income tax that is legally possible

 

Did you know?

  • Most people do not claim all the deductions they are entitled to.
  • You are allowed to organize your affairs so that you pay the least amount of tax possible.
  • It is better to file your return on time even if you can't afford to pay so you avoid late filing penalties.
  • If you ignore CRA they will NOT go away.
  • The CRA does not always interpret Tax legislation in a fair and consistent manner. Different auditors will give you different interpretations.
  • The CRA will not help you minimize the amount of Income Tax you have to pay. WE WILL!

 

Knowledge is power

You have rights that the CRA must respect. In fact the CRA posts them on their website. The problem is they just don't let you know where to find them, or promote that they exist.  Check out the link below.

Now that you know what your rights are you can ensure that you are treated fairly.  If you know your rights then you will be able to keep your cool and be calm even if presented with a difficult situation.  Remember that these rights must be respected.  However, this does not mean that you can ignore CRA or violate legislation. 

 

You MUST:

  • Keep good records and documentation (or have someone do it for you)
  • File your tax returns accurately and in accordance with the legislation
  • Provide copies of your records and documents to CRA for audit purposes (never give up the originals).
  • Provide answers to their questions (but you can seek help from a representative before answering).
  • Respond to CRA in a timely fashion and be aware of legislative deadlines and timeframes.
  • Remember that ultimately you are responsible for your records and taxes.  Make sure you understand what you are doing, or what others are doing for you.
