Part-time workers often overlook the TD1 form when starting a new job.
The TD1 determines how much tax your employer deducts from your pay.
If you have multiple jobs, claiming the basic personal amount more than once can lead to not enough tax being withheld — which means you may owe at tax time.
Reviewing your TD1 can help avoid that surprise.

If your revenue is growing but your bank balance isn’t…
it’s not an income problem — it’s a bookkeeping system problem.
This is what I help my clients fix:
✔ Knowing their real numbers
✔ Understanding their profit
✔ Planning for taxes
✔ Paying themselves consistently
Your business should be making sense AND making money.

If you’re self-employed, your tax bill shouldn’t be a surprise.
No deductions are being taken off your income — which means planning is everything.
Even setting aside a small percentage consistently can save you from owing (and the stress that comes with it).
This is one of the first systems I help my clients put in place.

Before you file your taxes — start with your Notice of Assessment.

This is one of the most overlooked steps, and it can affect your return.

Getting a letter from CRA can feel overwhelming — but most of the time, it’s simply a request for information.
Reading the full letter, understanding the deadline, and getting clarity early can make all the difference.

CRA letters are designed for compliance — not comfort.
Before assuming the worst:
✔️ Read the full letter
✔️ Check the deadline
✔️ Understand what’s being requested
Clarity > panic. Always.

📢 Working Two Part-Time Jobs? Avoid a Tax Bill! 💰

If you have two part-time jobs, you could be in for a surprise at tax time! Why? Each employer applies the basic personal amount (BPA) separately, making it seem like you earn less than you actually do.

✅ Solution? Update Your TD1 Form!
🔹 At your second job, check "❌ No" on line 8 of your TD1 form.
🔹 This ensures that only one employer gives you the BPA tax credit.
🔹 This helps you avoid owing taxes at the end of the year!

💡 Not sure if your TD1 is set up correctly? Reach out—I can help you stay tax-smart and stress-free!
