FAQS

What if I can't afford to pay all the past taxes I owe?

If you can’t afford to pay your tax debts in full, contact the CRA immediately. There are different programs that you can apply for, or you might arrange a payment plan.

What is the difference between a tax credit and a tax deduction?

A tax credit is a literal amount of credit applied to your account. If you have $200 of credit, you’ll pay $200 less on your next tax payment.

However, if you have a tax reduction of the same value, the CRA will reduce your tax bracket by $200.

I just moved to a new city, how do I notify the CRA that I have a new address?

You can notify the CRA of a change of address by filling in form RC325 and sending it in. Another option is to send a signed letter to your local tax office, including your social insurance number, when you moved, and the new address.

Can I run personal expenses through my company

No, you cannot run your personal expenses through your company. It is a bad practice that can lead to other issues including legal, operational and tax problems. It will only make your cash flow situation confusing and difficult to predict when business and personal funds are mixed up. Lastly, it will make your accounting process more complex.

What business expenses can I deduct

The business expenses you can deduct are those you paid or will pay for the activities to earn your income. These expenses can either a current year expense or capital expense. You can deduct any reasonable current cost you incur to earn income.

Can my employees be reimbursed for health coverage?

Yes, your employees can be reimbursed for health coverage. The Healthcare Spending Accounts (HCSAs), which the Canada Revenue Agency established, provided the first-ever savings model for health expenditures in Canada. HCSAs allow employees to be reimbursed for health, dental, and vision care expenses that are eligible as tax credits as stipulated in the Income Tax Act on a tax-free basis.

While I am not a big fan of writing reviews for privacy reasons but made an exception to write one for Sam and his team. I needed help with my tax audit with the CRA and I could not find better than Sam and his team to represent me. The team was very thorough, knowledgeable and reliable while defending me during the CRA audit. I am very happy with the results they achieved for me. I am lucky to engage Faris CPA as the firm is the best tax consulting firm that I have ever dealt with.
Sam Faris has provided me with a great advice with respect to my tax dispute with the CRA. I highly recommend Sam and his services as he is the best tax accountant in town.
Had to fire 2 CPAs who did not deliver what I expected during the tax audit with the CRA. Was referred to Faris CPA by a friend who used the firm’s service in the past and was extremely happy with the results and the firm’s performance. Sam Faris met with me in his office and was able to proposed a strategy which was very convincing to me. I decided to hire him and there were no surprises. He delivered what I expected and did not disappoint me. He was able to dispute the audit proposal letter and was able to convince the auditor that his numbers were overstated. Sam has prepared a very detailed and sophisticated package to support his numbers. At the end, I was very happy with the results and how Sam and his team handled my case. Among all the CPAs that I have used, I can confidently say the Faris CPA is the best tax consultant firm in the GTA. Many thanks to Faris CPA’s team.
Excellent tax firm. Very knowledgeable with tax issues with the CRA and efficient in communicating with clients. Had a very pleasant experience dealing with Sam and his team. More importantly, his prices are very reasonable considering his expertise and what he provides.
