Another update! The Active Family Benefit has been majorly updated to include those under $120,000 of household income compared to the previous $60,000

The Active Families Benefit is designed to make children’s activities more affordable for families across Saskatchewan. Participation in sports, culture and recreational activities is a key part of building communities and developing Saskatchewan youth.

Just a reminder as personal tax season is just around the corner - I am still doing personal taxes but just won’t be able to do taxes for those that bank at the Weyburn Credit Union!

If we have already discussed arrangements recently regarding personal taxes 2025 then feel free to disregard this message!

Regular return (Tslips only) $60
Other (has business or rental income to report) $85

🚨 🚨 Attention WCU members 🚨 🚨

Effective November 10, 2025 I will no longer be able to provide accounting-related services such as bookkeeping and tax preparation for anyone that holds an account with the Weyburn Credit Union due to me taking on the Finance Manger role there! Note that this is due to a policy held by the WCU in an effort to remove any actual or perceived conflicts of interest

I want to thank all the businesses and individuals that have entrusted me to assist them with their bookkeeping and tax preparation needs over the past few years! I look forward to continuing that relationship with those unaffiliated with the Weyburn Credit Union! I apologize to those that will be impacted by this change

If any of those impacted individuals are looking for recommendations on who to take on their bookkeeping and/or tax needs I’d be happy to point you in a few directions

Approaching deadlines and tax info!
Fees/Pricing info:
-Personal tax return basic $60
-Personal tax return “complex” $85 (mainly referring to business schedules for farmers or those with personal small businesses)
-Related bookkeeping at $50/hr
-Tslip preparation $60 - per type (T4s and T5s)

RRSPs - deadline for paying in to have it impact your 2024 tax return is February 28 (technically March 3)

Tslips and WCB - need to be filed/submitted before February 28 to avoid any penalties and interest

I know tax time does make people a bit anxious but note that CRA’s personal tax service is down for preparation for this upcoming 2024 tax season and won’t be back up until late February!

I do not plan to start any tax returns any earlier than March 1 but certainly recommend that people wait until mid to late March to start filing to ensure that all tax slips have been received to avoid any reassessments down the road!

Pricing update effective October 1/24(thanks taxes 🙄)!

First off I want to thank all those that have decided to give me a shot in helping with tax or bookkeeping related items! I hope the services I have provided thus far have been satisfactory if not more so! With your help I have unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, I’m undecided still) broken the small supplier threshold meaning I now have to begin charging GST and PST (boooo taxes, I know)

With that said see my prices below and these are shown as TAXES INCLUDED:

Corporate Tax return (no statements) $1,150
Corporate Tax return (with statements) $1,400
Basic personal tax return $60
Self-employed personal tax return $75
T-slip work (T4s and T5s) $60 per slip type
Bookkeeping - I say $50/hr still but mainly open to discussion

Happy Family Day! Just a brief update on the days ahead!

E-Filing has officially opened up for the 2023 tax year for those looking to file taxes early! Please note however that companies have until the end of February to file your Tslips such as T4s, T5s, etc! So it may be best to wait until March to file unless you are certain you have all your slips/info you should have for the year!

Filing and payment deadlines for the year is April 30th but for those that they themselves or their spouse has a personal business have until June 15th to file but still owe payment by April 30th (never understood why they can file later but still owe at the end of April)

One last reminder for businesses that along with T4s and T5s that WCB should also be filed before the end of the month!

01/01/2024

Happy New Year! With 2024 rolling in, I figured I should probably re-list my services here along with prices this time as a friendly reminder!

Corporate tax returns:
taxes only - $1,000
Tax return and financial statements - $1,250
Filing T5s - $50
Filing T4s - $50

Personal tax returns:
Basic return - $50
Non-basic return - $75
(Non-basic meaning a business schedule or something similar is required)

Bookkeeping - open for debate but I start my opening bid at $50/hr (open to set monthly or quarterly prices)

Best of luck to you all in 2024 and may have great success and happiness in all aspects of life!
