Maximize Available Credits and Benefits
Canada's tax system includes a variety of credits, deductions, and benefits designed to reduce the tax burden for eligible individuals and families. Proper tax preparation helps ensure that you are claiming everything to which you may be entitled under the Income Tax Act.
Depending on your personal circumstances, some of the credits and deductions that may be available to you include:
Tuition-Related Credits
Students may be eligible to claim tuition amounts and carry forward unused credits to future tax years.
Childcare Expenses
Eligible childcare expenses paid to allow a parent to work or attend school may be deductible.
Medical Expenses
Qualifying medical expenses for you and your family may be claimed, subject to CRA eligibility rules.
Employment Expenses
Employees in certain roles may be able to deduct eligible expenses incurred to earn employment income.
Eligible Business Deductions
Self-employed individuals and business owners may deduct reasonable expenses incurred to earn business income.
The availability and value of tax credits and deductions depend on individual circumstances, income levels, and applicable CRA criteria. Filing accuracy is our priority; results will vary.
Most Canadians who earned income during the tax year are required to file a return. You must also file if you owe taxes, received certain government benefits, sold a property, or if the CRA requests you to do so. Even if you did not earn income, filing may allow you to access benefits such as the GST/HST credit or the Canada Child Benefit. For a complete list of filing requirements, refer to the CRA website.
Yes. We assist freelancers, independent contractors, gig economy workers, and other self-employed individuals with their tax filings. Self-employment tax returns involve additional considerations, such as reporting net business income, understanding eligible deductions, and determining GST/HST obligations. Note that self-employed individuals generally have until June 15 to file, though any balance owing is due April 30.
The documents you need will depend on your income sources and personal circumstances. Common documents include your Social Insurance Number, T4 slips, T4A slips, T5 investment slips, T2202 tuition certificates, receipts for eligible deductions, and any prior year Notice of Assessment. Our checklist above provides a helpful starting point, and we can clarify specific requirements during an initial consultation.
Turnaround time depends on the complexity of your return and the completeness of your documentation. A straightforward personal return can often be completed within a business day or two of receiving all required documents. More complex filings may take longer. We will provide you with a clear timeline during your initial consultation.
Yes. Receiving a letter or notice from the CRA can be unsettling, but it does not always indicate a problem.
