🇨🇦 The federal fuel excise tax suspension was scheduled to end September 7, with the tax returning September 8.
But according to reports today, the federal government is extending the tax holiday until January 31, 2027.
That means the federal excise tax will remain suspended:
⛽ Gasoline: 10¢ per litre
🚛 Diesel: 4¢ per litre
For someone filling a 50-litre gas tank, that's about $5 in federal excise tax avoided per fill-up.
But the bigger conversation goes well beyond what we pay at the pump.
Diesel powers the trucks moving our food.
Fuel costs affect construction, agriculture, deliveries and countless businesses costs that can ultimately work their way through the supply chain.
And perhaps the bigger question...
👉 Will Canadians actually feel the difference in their wallets or are fuel prices still too high for 10 cents a litre to make a meaningful impact?

📢 New Month. New Financial Priorities.
September marks the beginning of the final stretch of the year and a good opportunity for business owners to review where they stand financially.
ℹ️ Before Q4 begins, take some time to look at:
✔️ Cash flow: Are revenues and expenses tracking as expected?
✔️ Tax instalments: Are upcoming payments accounted for in your cash-flow planning?
✔️ Payroll obligations: Are deductions, remittances and records up to date?
✔️ Year end planning: Are there financial or tax decisions that should be considered before December?
👉 Good year-end planning doesn't start in December. Reviewing your numbers now gives you more time to identify issues, evaluate opportunities and make informed decisions before the year comes to a close.
A strong finish to 2026 starts with knowing where you stand today. ✨

Don't panic and don't ignore it.

Outstanding returns can lead to penalties and interest
Filing helps bring your GST/HST account up to date
Payments can be made once you determine what you owe

📢 A small tax mistake can become a much bigger bill.
A recent case highlighted by Financial Post is a good reminder that late tax filings, unpaid balances and accumulating interest can add up quickly.
👇 For Canadians, the CRA can impose:
◾ Late-filing penalty:
5% of the balance owing, plus 1% for each full month late, up to 12 months.
◾ Repeated late filing penalty:
10% of the balance owing, plus 2% for each full month late, up to 20 months, in certain circumstances.
◾ Interest:
compound daily interest can apply to unpaid amounts starting the day after the payment deadline.
ℹ️ If you can't pay your tax bill in full, file your return on time anyway. Filing on time can prevent the late filing penalty from being added to the amount you already owe.
👉 A missed deadline today can become an expensive problem tomorrow.

💰 Retirement is supposed to be about enjoying the money you've spent decades saving not discovering unexpected tax consequences along the way.

For Canadian retirees, the way retirement income is withdrawn, timed and coordinated can make a significant difference.

Watch out for:
📌 RRIF withdrawals: mandatory withdrawals increase with age and are fully taxable.
📌 OAS clawback: higher net income can reduce Old Age Security benefits.
📌 Large one-time withdrawals: taking out too much in a single year can push you into a higher tax bracket.
📌 Investment income: interest, dividends and capital gains can affect your overall tax picture.
📌 Estate taxes: RRSPs and RRIFs can create a substantial tax liability at death.

💡 Good retirement planning doesn't stop when you retire. That's when tax planning becomes even more important.

📢 Canadian businesses are feeling the pressure. The latest U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods are creating a new challenge for businesses already dealing with months of unpredictable trade policy.

According to News:
📉 40% of small exporters sell products included on the new tariff list.

📊 One-third of those businesses expect their sales to decline by 50% or more.

💼 Businesses are delaying investments, hiring and new product launches because they don't know what the next tariff change will bring.

And it's not just exporters.

One Canadian candle manufacturer described the impact as a “domino effect” even Canadian suppliers can be affected when they depend on the U.S. market.

The bigger question now is whether Canadian companies can use this moment to diversify markets, strengthen domestic supply chains and reduce their dependence on a single trading partner.
