Filing Your Taxes

How to Get Started

The process of filing yearly taxes is often unique to each Canadian.

When filing taxes, whether independently or with the assistance of a professional tax specialist, having all your personal information available is essential. The CRA requires taxpayers to report the entirety of their income, any relevant deductions, and the details of any dependents if necessary.

It’s important for Canadians to understand what they can and cannot claim on their taxes to avoid a tax audit by the CRA. With a CRA tax help specialist by your side, you can feel confident knowing your taxes are being filed according to federal guidelines.

Adjusting Your Tax Return

It’s not uncommon to find errors in your CRA tax forms even after they’ve been filed. The good news is the CRA affords taxpayers the opportunity to adjust tax returns filed up to 10 years ago. This process is relatively simple as forms can be obtained directly from the CRA’s website.

Common Myths to Avoid

When it comes to filing your taxes, there are common myths that taxpayers are exposed to and must be wary of when engaging in their own financial business, including:

Higher Tax Bracket Means Losing More to Taxes

The reality is that tax brackets are marginal which means that substantially higher rates apply to each dollar above the cut-off.

All Investment Incomes are Taxes Equally

If you have various investment incomes, it’s important to differentiate between them as they may not all be taxed equally. A tax specialist can assist you in determining which are contributing to your income and the most effective ways to reduce your taxes and improve your financial portfolio.

The Rich Have Secret Ways to Avoid Higher Taxes

The secret is that there is no secret — financial systems were designed for those in higher tax brackets and offer more loopholes and easy ways to pay higher sums in taxes.

FAQS

When to file taxes in Canada

In Canada, income taxes are required to be submitted by April 30 with details pertaining to your income from the previous calendar year. The CRA may accept late submissions on a case-by-case basis, though there may be a penalty.

What are the types of taxes I need to file?

There are four types of income taxes Canadians should be aware of when it comes time to file:

  • Personal
  • Business
  • Corporation
  • Trust

Each tax type relates to a specific area of income and includes a range of deduction and claim options. A Faris CPA’s tax help centre, we can assist you in understanding where you should focus your attention and the types of documents and details you’ll need to effectively file your income tax.

Why is it important to file taxes?

Your taxes are an important part of your contribution to Canada’s economy and filing yearly taxes allows the CRA to determine if you’re eligible for any returns or if you’re required to pay back a specified amount to the government.

When taxes are not filed properly, there are significant penalties attached, including financial late filing penalties, not receiving certain benefits such as Old Age Security, and, in severe cases, can lead to prosecution.

With the assistance of an accounting and taxation expert at Faris CPA, you can avoid all the above and secure your financial standing.

I interviewed 5 CPA firms before hiring Mr. Faris. During the initial assessment he was able to identify a huge mistake that CRA has done. He was able to perfectly communicate this mistake with me and explained how this mistake should be corrected. Mr. Faris assured me that the CRA will have to correct this mistake which will result in saving huge amount of taxes and penalties and interest. Mr. Faris worked around the clock including weekends to meet the pressing deadline. In summary, he met all his promises and of course did not disappoint me. All these sleepless nights worrying about the CRA are gone now and of course thanks to Mr. Faris who has changed my mind about the accounting and the tax profession forever.

I had a consultation with Mr. Fares last week and explained my issue with the CRA. Sam provided a great advice. Further he recommended not to hire a professional and pay money while he thought that I can handle the issues on my own. Obviously he looked at my best interest rather than to pay him more unnecessary fee. He is reliable and trustworthy and I would recommend him to anyone in need for this kind of services.

Sam Faris is very pleasant to deal with. I was referred to him by a well known tax lawyer in the city. After dealing with Sam and knowing his expertise with CRA disputes, I decided to fire the tax lawyer as Sam did it all and achieved the best results. I ended up wasting 15k in legal fees when I could have saved it if I met Sam before.
Sam was great. He really helped me with my situation. Highly recommend him. When its time sensitive, he's the go to guy.

Sam Faris helped me deal with a tricky situation with the CRA involving taxes paid in the USA. He seems pretty knowledgable of both Canada and USA tax laws and regulations. During the initial phone call, he proposed a plan to address the situation, and didn't over-promise. In the end, the resolution was much better than what was initially proposed. Communication was timely and reliable. I'd gladly use his services again in the future if the need arises.

He is super efficient, and highly knowledgeable with tax problems and will protect you from CRA with the least cost possible.
