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.

Testimonial

“I hired Sam Faris to fix my books and records and to amend corporate and personal tax returns for a 4 year period. When I was audited by CRA, I discovered that my old accountant was not competent and had made many errors. CRA honoured the amended returns filed by Sam. I even received a tax refund.”
