Tax Tips / Thought of the Day

Butter’s Tax Tip of the Month!

March is the start of Personal Tax Season at our office.  It is the time that my clients should be organizing and then sending our office all their tax slips and tax information.  Try to take some time to ensure that your information is complete and organized when you send it in to our office (email, fax, mail or even personally deliver).  Please let us know if anything large has changed for you in 2018.  For example, have you disposed of your principal residence (we now have to report this separately to CRA) or any rental property, have you started a new business, have you made any donations or incurred large medical expenses, have you paid for child-care in 2018? 

Please do not hesitate to review our Personal Tax Checklist which lists the typical information that you should submit to us to help us prepare your Personal Tax returns.  Don’t worry if you forget anything, we will follow up with you to ensure that you Keep What’s Yours!
