Why Gemini Bookkeeping doesn't offer free consultations

After 25+ years serving Calgary businesses, we've learned that free consultations rarely benefit either party. Instead, we offer paid discovery sessions that deliver real value from day one.

What you get in a discovery session:
✔ Comprehensive review of your current financial situation
✔ Identification of compliance issues and cost-saving opportunities
✔ Clear action plan with next steps
✔ Professional recommendations you can implement immediately

Whether we work together long-term or not, you leave with expert guidance tailored to your business.

This approach attracts clients who value expertise and are serious about getting their finances right. If that's you, let's connect.

How clear books changed this Calgary business.

A local small business owner came to us overwhelmed by paperwork and missed deadlines. Within weeks, Gemini Bookkeeping Services streamlined their records, set up automated payroll, and provided real-time financial snapshots—freeing up hours each month for growth.

The result: compliance issues resolved, stress reduced, and a 22% increase in profit margins in the first year. Our client now feels confident making business decisions, knowing their finances are in expert hands.

2024-25 amounts announced for the Canada Carbon Rebate (previously known as the Climate action incentive payment)

The Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR) (previously known as the Climate action incentive payment (CAIP)) is how the federal government returns the proceeds of carbon pollution pricing to families in provinces where the federal backstop system applies. The name was updated to the Canada Carbon Rebate to clarify its function and make its meaning and relationship to the carbon pricing system more intuitive for Canadians.

The government recently announced the 2024-25 amounts for the CCR.

Starting this April, a family of four will receive Canada Carbon Rebates of:

$1,800 in Alberta ($450 quarterly)
$1,200 in Manitoba ($300 quarterly)
$1,120 in Ontario ($280 quarterly)
$1,504 in Saskatchewan ($376 quarterly)
$760 in New Brunswick ($190 quarterly)
$824 in Nova Scotia ($206 quarterly)
$880 in Prince Edward Island ($220 quarterly)
$1,192 in Newfoundland and Labrador ($298 quarterly)
The Canada Carbon Rebate is a tax-free amount to help eligible individuals and families offset the cost of federal pollution pricing. It is paid quarterly in April, July, October and January and is available to eligible residents 19 years and older from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

Individuals who file their taxes electronically by March 15, 2024, should receive the next CCR payment on April 15, 2024. Those who file after March 15, 2024, will receive their payment later after their returns have been assessed. To receive the CCR, individuals must file their tax and benefit return each year. For married or common-law partner, they both have to file or provide their spouse or common law partner’s income on their tax and benefit return.

Please note that the name change to Canada Carbon Rebate may not be reflected immediately by financial institutions and the name of the direct deposit payment may still use a version of CAIP in the short term. It does not impact an individual’s eligibility for the payment or the amount they will receive, and there should be no interruption to scheduled spring payments. However, if your client’s payment does not arrive as anticipated, please advise them to wait 10 business days before contacting the CRA.

Organ and Tissue Donation
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is helping increase the visibility of organ and tissue donor registries across the country.

When filing taxes for the 2023 tax year, Ontario and Nunavut residents can tick a box on their income tax and benefit return to indicate they want to receive information from their provincial/territorial government about becoming organ and tissue donors.

As a tax preparer, you can tick the box when preparing a client’s tax return as long as the client consents to having their contact information shared with their provincial/territorial government.

By ticking the box, taxpayers are not consenting to become organ and tissue donors. They are authorizing the disclosure of limited personal information to the province/territory (email address in the case of Ontario residents and name, address, and email address in the case of Nunavut residents). The province/territory will reach out to taxpayers who have signaled their interest and provide them with more information about organ and tissue donation.

Less than one-third of Canadians are registered organ and tissue donors. As most Canadians are required to file an income tax and benefit return each year, the CRA is helping to raise public awareness about organ and tissue donation.

For more information about organ and tissue donation, please visit canada.ca/organ-tissue-donation.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will issue the first CCB young child supplement (CCBYCS) payments on May 28, 2021, which will include the January and April payments. If you are entitled to receive the CCBYCS and have not received your first payment by June 11, 2021, you may want to check on its status by contacting the CRA. Please note that the CRA cannot provide any new information before this date. The payments for the CCBYCS are not reflected in My Account.

What is the CCBYCS?

In the 2020 Fall Economic Statement, the Government of Canada proposed support for families with young children for 2021. The proposed support, CCBYCS, became law on May 6, 2021.

Families entitled to the Canada child benefit (CCB) in January, April, July or October 2021 with a family net income of $120,000 or less will receive up to four tax-free payments in 2021 of $300 per child under the age of six, for a total benefit up to $1,200. Families entitled to the CCB in January, April, July or October 2021 with a family net income above $120,000 will receive up to four tax-free payments in 2021 of $150 per child under the age of six, for a total benefit up to $600. Parents must file their 2019 and 2020 tax returns to receive all the payments they are entitled to.

For more information, go to canada.ca/ccb-young-child-benefit.
Don’t miss a payment! You can now sign up for CRA direct deposit through many Canadian financial institutions' websites. Learn more at canada.ca/cra-direct-deposit.
