Big stores have them and now you can too.

F.A.Q.
“It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question.” – Eugene Ionesco
Usually personal tax returns that are E-filed are processed and either direct deposited into your bank account or mailed out within a two week period. When the CRA requires more information about a particular tax return a confirmation of the E-filed return will be sent to us advising us the the return requires additional time. The CRA does not guarantee any particular time frame but they strongly advise E-filing tax returns for much quicker refunds. It is not uncommon for a paper filed return to take six weeks to be processed. This length of time needed for processing has been increased due to Covid-19 precautions being followed.
We feel that those outfits (called discounters) who are buying their clients tax returns are doing a great disservice to them. When you think about it; if you were receiving a 300.00 tax refund and you sold it to an instant and sometimes not so instant tax preparation outfit you would receive 15% less then what the CRA would have given you directly. If you ended up receiving this tax return a week early because of selling it at a discount the annualized rate of interest you would have paid is 780%. (15% for one week x 52 weeks in a year) Generally discounters will not discount business or other complicated tax returns
While we may accept non organized or tallied receipts from you (the proverbial shoe box) we strongly encourage you to have your income and expense ledgers in order. Not only will it give you a sense of how your business is doing throughout the year but the cost of preparing your tax return will be much less if you do so. Many people do not realize that they have an obligation to keep accurate books and records. This is a stated CRA requirement. Preparing accurate HST returns; especially quarterly returns will be much easier to do as well.
We are available throughout the year for people just like you. If someone gave a man a fish that man would be fed only for a day. Better that someone would teach that man how he too could fish. We custom design ledger books that are customized to the actual business you are operating. First we take a look at what your business is offering and then design ledger books around your needs while still fulfilling CRA requirements. When you feel comfortable moving over to a computer system we try to make the transitioning smooth and seamless.
Please see our hours of operation on the contact page. You will see that the Tax Season and Post Tax Season hours differ somewhat. During Post Tax Season we are available to schedule alternate days and times as circumstances allow. We are never open on Sundays.
