Canadian tax returns
For others information, I have just completed my and my wife's 2019 CRA tax returns with a CPA registered tax accountant here in London, Ontario (i.e. not HR Block type).
Not overly complicated, but not simple for him. We have retained assets still in the UK, some FOREX gains, overseas interest, Canadian mutual funds with T5 and T3s etc. and UK pension income. I like to think I co-ordinated everything for him well and thoroughly. Just cost us $300 + HST for the both of us. Delighted with the service and pretty impressed by the cost - he seems to have done a thorough job. I would not be confident enough to do them myself using packages (although I always used to in the UK using TaxCalc). |

Re: Canadian tax returns
We've been audited twice although not recently.
However, in both cases our returns had been done by a registered accountant. One was a CGA and the other a CA. It was interesting to see how the two dealt with the situation ...... the CGA responded to the initial computer generated demands, the CA waited and waited until he finally was contacted by a live voice. We sweated on that last one. Both had the same result ............ all our claims were allowed. I used to do our tax returns, but not when we were out of the country in 1975/76 when the CGA did them. We went to the CA on our return and the audit, and have never attempted to do themselves since then. We didn't have a business, but OH did have honoraria, royalties on books, claims for travel, society dues, etc. in addition to salary, RRSPs etc etc etc |
Re: Canadian tax returns
lesson learned..i am meeting a registered accountant Friday..who does all our corporate audits..his initial response esp on my base income tax demand from the CRA is that something is definitely not right

Re: Canadian tax returns
What do you think the odds are that CRA is going to delay the April 30 submission date for annual returns due to Coronavirus?

None. That date is not the date that the return is due, it is the date by which any taxes owed must be paid.

Point taken. If you're getting a refund you can file whenever....I just thought that due date may get extended.
I got an email today from their office explaining all the ways to avoid going into their office, from some methods that are beyond my easy comprehension to good old Canada Post! |

No reason to delay the date ........... it can all be done on the computer, no matter whether you're filing your own tax returns or using an accountant like we do.

Appears they will be extending the deadline to June 1st.
https://nationalpost.com/news/politi...id-19-outbreak The deadline to pay off any outstanding balances interest-free will also be extended, this time to July 31. |
