Updated rules on Trust Reporting Requirements have been released. These rules have been changing over the years but these look like they will be the final versions.

Make sure if you have a trust relationship that you investigate your reporting requirements and possible exemptions.

📣 Attention: Updates to bare trust reporting requirements!

We've updated the guidance for the bare trust reporting requirements for tax years ending on or after December 31st, 2026.

CRA changed the application process this summer. While some changes are good others may be too dependent on technology which not everyone is comfortable with. The DTC is still a very good credit and tool to receive additional benefits and tax savings.

If you’re eligible for the disability tax credit (DTC), we want to help make the application process as smooth as possible.

Please use the most up-to-date application form and apply digitally. This will help to avoid processing delays. Important: old forms are no longer accepted.

Fill it out today in your CRA account: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/segments/tax-credits-deductions-persons-disabilities/disability-tax-credit.html?utm_content=2026-07-06_2349

How well do you know your taxpayer rights?

Myth or fact?

If you disagree with a decision, you have no options.

❌ That’s a myth!

Speak to us if you disagree with one of our decisions on a tax or penalty matter. You have the right to a formal review and an appeal if needed.
