    CRA has developed a simplified foreign asset reporting system for persons owning less than $250,000 of a specified foreign property throughout the year. There is no change to the $100,000 threshold for reporting. This change is applicable to taxation years ending 2014.

    Sam helped me to clean up all the mess that my previous accountant has created. My corporate books were heavily audited by the CRA as a result of significant filling mistakes. The audit expanded to be a net worth audit for my household. With Sam strategy, knowledge and excellent service and commitment, the CRA audit has ended and I did not have to appeal the audit decision. This was a huge saving. After dealing with few CPAs and tax advisors, Sam is the best tax consultant who can be trusted to deal with any type of CRA audits.
