Do you need help with 2023 taxes? Do you have an underused house? Medical tax issues? Estate tax issues? I can help with all of those. There are new Bare Trust registration requirements; if there are differences between who is the legal owner, and who is the beneficial owner (i.e. parents holding title for a house for their children) this must be reported. Make sure your taxes are filed properly. Contact a tax accountant today!

One is required to register when taxable supplies in four consecutive quarters reaches $30,000. Liable for collection as an ‘agent’ of the government, even if one hasn’t yet registered. Registration must be completed by 30 days after the $30,000 threshold has been reached. If you need help registering or clarifying the rules, contact your tax accountant today.

Make sure to check CRA’s Autofill for your tax return! I have seen many clients miss tax slips from Autofill. RRSP slips are usually late because the RRSP ends so late. T4As for seniors are missing this year, or have errors. Two out of three T3s show up. Even a T4 was missing. Make sure you check every slip this year.

The government will be mailing out more than 1 million letters to Canadians reviewing their CERB eligibility. If you have any questions, contact service@ottawatax.ca

Some companies offer cellphone subsidies to their employees. There are tax/receipt issues from these subsidies. If it is an ‘allowance’, it is taxable in the hands of the employee. If it is a ‘subsidy’, it is an expense and the employee has to submit a receipt (i.e. cellphone bill) each month.
