🐶 Butter’s Quote of the Month 🐶

“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was “thank you” that would suffice.”
– Meister Eckhart

~ 🐶 Butter’s Tax Tip of the Month! ~

In 2009, the "Tax Free Savings Account" was introduced by the Canadian government to help Canadians save money. Like other registered accounts, the TFSA is a tax-sheltered way to grow your wealth. Unlike other registered accounts, the TFSA is an all-purpose account where it is not designated for a specific purpose, but you are able to spend the money whenever and however you like!

As the name implies, all forms of income – meaning any interest, dividends or capital gains earned from investments of the TFSA account are TAX FREE making this account a very powerful investment tool. The account can be used for a variety of investment vehicles including mutual funds, GICs, and various other stock investments.

How do you contribute to your TFSA account? There are two contribution limits to look out for: the annual and the lifetime contribution limit. The annual contribution limit is the maximum amount per calendar year that can be contributed – this is set by the Government of Canada and each year’s amount can be found of their website. For 2020, the annual contribution limit is $6,000. You are entitled to all the TFSA contribution room that has accumulated since you turned 18. If you have never opened up a TFSA account, since you turned 18, you can contribute the whole accumulated amount in the current year without penalty. This is the Lifetime contribution limit. Each year’s annual contribution limit is different so you would have to add up all the different amounts to find your lifetime contribution limit. If you were 18 or older in 2009, you are entitled to $63,500 in TFSA contributions without penalty. Be careful, the over-contribution penalty for your TFSA is 1% of the over-contribution per month until the over amount is withdrawn. Withdrawing from your TFSA is as easy as contributing to it. Money in, money out no forms or special arrangements. Also, any gains from the account are tax free and not considered income.

Hope you can use this information to make use of this powerful tax saving, money growing, powerful investment tool!

Butter’s Tax Tip of the Month!

In 2018, the BC provincial government introduced the Speculation Tax. The Speculation tax’s purpose was to discourage housing speculation and prevent people from leaving homes vacant in BC’s major urban centers.

The Speculation tax targets:
- Foreign and domestic speculators who own residences in BC but do not pay taxes here;
- Investors who own homes in BC that they don’t reside in (not their principal residence) who do not rent out these properties (vacant homes)
- All owners of residential properties must fill in an online annual declaration by March 31 of each year.

If you have any further questions or concerns about whether the new Speculation Tax applies to you, or for more information, please do not hesitate to contact us! We are here to review your situation and help you “Keep What’s Yours”

Meet Soft Peaks Ice Cream, established by Dan & Ken Kim in May 2014.

The special “handcrafted” Soft Peaks recipe is made with Avalon organic milk, a touch of sweetness, and is then churned to smooth perfection. The result is a refreshing and creamy dessert that is all-natural, and lower in calories and fat than ice cream. In addition to organic milk, organic cream, organic milk powder, and organic stabilizers/ emulsifiers (all of them are Kosher certified), we use dextrose to replace genetically modified sugar (GMO) like high fructose corn syrup when we make our ice cream.

Soft Peaks loves local! Premium toppings, like a fresh piece of Okanagan and Fraser Valley honeycomb, have been crafted for perfect pairings. All of their milk comes from Avalon Dairy, a local dairy farm known for its uncompromising quality. Their ice cream cups, spoons, and napkins are from local suppliers, some of them are also compostable! Soft Peaks also supports the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation by donating partial proceeds from their sales.

Soft Peaks has been a client of Louis T. Picco since they opened and their soft serve is definitely Butter Approved!

As with all audits, it is important that you respond properly and provide all the requested information to the CRA to back up your original claim from the tax return.
