Thank you for your continued trust in us during this particularly challenging tax season.

Due to a combination of ongoing issues with CRA systems, legislative changes and software delays this year, we are currently at capacity and are unable to guarantee completion of files brought in at this time for the April 30th deadline.

However, there is some good news for many clients: the CRA has announced that anyone with capital gains reporting—including those reported by financial institutions—will not face penalties if filed by June 2, 2025. This extension provides us with a little more flexibility, and we will prioritize files accordingly.

Please know we are doing our absolute best to work through as many files as possible and will keep you updated on your file’s status. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding.

TAX Season Update!

Just putting a post out to ask for your patience this tax season....whether with our office or any other tax preparer you may use!!

This has been one of the worst tax seasons, yet very little is publicized about it.

Between slips not being available, late processing by CRA, and the whole capital gains debacle (raising rates then canceling/post poning), software update delays (because of the last minute capital gains change), and not being able to file any returns with a schedule 3 until 10 days ago..... it's been a bit of a disaster.

We are doing our very best to keep up, but are running way behind our usual service timelines.

Requesting your patience if you are waiting for tax returns, or replies from our office. :)

Thank you for your understanding!! Fingers crossed the next month goes smoother!!

FYI: Important Update Regarding Capital Gains Tax

On January 31st, 2025, the Canadian government announced that they will defer the proposed increase to the capital gains inclusion rate until January 1st, 2026. Therefore, the current rate for the capital gains inclusion tax will remain the same for this tax year.
