From First Meeting to a Filed Return
STEP 01

Gathering your information.

We start with a brief intake to understand your income sources, life changes, and any carry-forwards from prior years. We provide a clear document checklist so you know exactly what to bring, and nothing gets missed.

Planning for next year.

After filing, we identify strategies to improve your tax position for the coming year, whether that means adjusting RRSP contributions, setting up installments, or flagging upcoming income events. Good tax outcomes are built year-round, not just at tax time.

Question 01
When is the personal tax filing deadline in Canada?

The standard T1 filing deadline for most individuals is April 30. If you or your spouse are self-employed, the filing deadline extends to June 15, however, any balance owing is still due by April 30 to avoid interest charges. Filing on time, even without full payment, avoids late-filing penalties.

Question 02
When is personal tax payment due?

Any balance owing is due by April 30, regardless of your filing deadline. If you miss this date, CRA charges daily compound interest. If you owe regularly, CRA may require quarterly instalments, typically due in March, June, September, and December.

Question 03
What documents do I need to file my T1?

You will need T4, T5, and T3 slips, RRSP receipts, T2202 tuition slips, and receipts for donations, childcare, and medical expenses, plus last year's notice of assessment. We provide a complete checklist at intake so nothing gets missed.

Question 04
Can you help if I have income from multiple sources?

Yes. We regularly handle returns with employment, self-employment, rental, investment, capital gains, and foreign income in the same filing. Each source has its own rules, and we ensure everything is reported correctly and optimized for your total tax position.

Question 05
What happens if CRA reviews or audits my return?

We represent you directly with CRA, handle all correspondence, and respond to inquiries on your behalf. If CRA proposes a reassessment you disagree with, we file a notice of objection and guide you through the appeals process. You don't navigate it alone.

Question 06
I'm self-employed — what can I deduct?

Self-employed individuals can deduct home office, vehicle, professional fees, advertising, equipment, and software costs. Expenses must be incurred to earn business income and must be reasonable. We review your full expense profile to ensure every eligible deduction is claimed and supported.

Question 07
Do you file returns for newcomers to Canada?

Yes. Newcomers have specific residency rules, partial-year filing requirements, and potential treaty obligations. We handle the residency determination, report worldwide income for the applicable period, and ensure you receive all credits and benefits from the date you became a resident.

Question 08
How much does it cost to have my personal taxes prepared?

Our fees depend on the complexity of your return, where a simple T1 is priced differently than a return with self-employment income, rental properties, and foreign assets. We provide a clear fixed-fee quote before any work begins so there are no surprises. Book a free consultation and we'll assess your situation and give you an accurate estimate.
