👑Happy Victoria Day on Monday! 👑 Monday, May 18 we celebrate the birthday of Queen Victoria, whose reign helped shape early Canadian history. Victoria Day has been celebrated in Canada since the 1800s and now marks both a historic tradition and the unofficial start of summer. Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable long weekend! 😁🏖️ We'll see you Tuesday! (Yes, of course Candi will be working this weekend) ;-)

The CGEB benefit payment amounts are in your CRA account now.

🚨🚨Please do NOT call or email us to look it up for you, we can not accommodate those requests at this time due to our existing tax workload. You should call the CRA (1-800-959-8281) if you can not log in to your online account. 🚨🚨

If you log in to your CRA account you can find the payment schedule under Benefits & Credits.

Thank you for your understanding! 😁

🚨 Still Accepting Tax Returns! 🚨

Yes — we are still happily accepting tax returns!

However, new returns coming in now will be completed after the CRA April 30 filing deadline. Tax season has been moving faster than a toddler with a Sharpie, and our workload filled up quickly!

That said, if you still need your taxes done, don’t panic — we’ve got you covered.
Send in your slips and we’ll get them completed as quickly as possible in the order received.

✔ First in First out
✔ Still the same careful preparation
✔ Still here to answer your questions

So if your tax papers are currently sitting in a pile labeled “I’ll deal with this later”… this is your sign.

Send them to us anytime and we’ll take it from there! 📂📊
