Before you act on anything about tax on this page

This practice is licensed in life and health insurance. It is not an accounting practice, it does not prepare returns, and nothing on this page is tax advice or an opinion on anybody’s tax position.

• Speak to an accountant before you act. Not after. If tax is any part of the reason a decision is being considered, a professional accountant who has seen the actual file is the person to decide it with, and this page is not a substitute for that conversation.
• The rules move. Tax rules, thresholds, rates, forms and deadlines change, most of them at least once a year, and a rule described here may have been amended since this page was built.
• The tax authority is the authority. For anything a reader intends to rely on, the Canada Revenue Agency and, in Quebec, Revenu Quebec publish the current rule themselves, free, and that is where it should be read.
• Nothing here is a calculation of anybody’s tax. This page describes how a rule is written. It does not work out what any reader will pay, recover or owe, because that depends on a whole return and on facts no page can see.
• No professional relationship is created by reading this. No reliance should be placed on it, and nothing in it is legal advice either.

In plain language: we are not accountants. Anything here that touches tax is general information, it changes, and it should be checked with an accountant and against the tax authority’s own page before anybody uses it for anything.
