Where to go next

Our work splits four ways, and each has its own catalogue: the full list of tax and accounting services with a fixed fee against every one; the industries we specialise in, where the deductions and the CRA's attention differ by sector; the cities we serve across Canada, all at the same price because the work is remote; and what each engagement costs, quoted before anything starts. If you would rather see outcomes than promises, the case-study library documents real engagements with the figures and the rule behind each, and the client testimonials are the reviews behind them.

Questions People Ask Before Choosing an Accountant

The questions Canadians search most often, answered plainly. Browse every question in the Canadian tax answers directory.

HST combines the 5% federal GST with a provincial component in five participating provinces. For 2026 the combined rates are 13% in Ontario, 15% in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island, and 14% in Nova Scotia since 1 April 2025. Elsewhere you charge the 5% GST alone, or GST plus a separate provincial tax. The rate follows the province of supply, not where your business sits.
There is no single rate. Federal personal income tax for 2026 runs through five brackets: 14%, then 20.5%, 26%, 29% and 33% on the highest band, and your province's brackets stack on top, so your combined marginal rate is the federal rate plus the provincial one. The 2026 federal basic personal amount is $16,452, tapering to $14,829 as net income rises from $181,440 to $258,482. Capital gains and Canadian dividends are taxed on a different basis.
CRA online filing for 2025 returns opened 23 February 2026 and closes 29 January 2027. Most people file between late February and the 30 April 2026 deadline, and that stretch is what tax season refers to. You can gather documents and prepare a return earlier, but it cannot be sent electronically before the system opens. Employment and investment slips such as T4 and T5 are issued by payers early in the year, and the CRA's Auto-fill service can pull the ones it already holds once you have set up My Account.
Yes. Toilet paper is an ordinary household product, not a basic grocery, so GST/HST applies at the rate for the province of purchase: 5% GST in Alberta, 13% HST in Ontario, 15% in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island, and 14% in Nova Scotia from 1 April 2025. Provincial sales tax may apply on top in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec.
The First Home Savings Account allows $8,000 a year up to a $40,000 lifetime maximum, the same limits that have applied since the account launched in 2023 and still apply for 2026. Unused annual room carries forward, but only up to $8,000, so the most you can contribute in a single year is $16,000. Contributions are deductible, and qualifying withdrawals to buy a first home are tax-free.
E-books are taxable. GST at 5% applies, with HST or provincial sales tax added according to the buyer's province, and non-resident digital sellers must register and charge tax on sales to Canadian consumers. The point-of-sale rebate that removes the provincial part of the HST on printed books does not extend to digital editions, so an e-book can carry more tax than the paperback. Check the CRA's guidance on books and digital products before pricing.
Most lottery and casual gambling winnings, gifts and inheritances, GST/HST credit and Canada Child Benefit payments, TFSA growth and withdrawals, and life insurance death benefits are not taxable. Some non-taxable items still need a line on the return: the sale of a principal residence must be reported even when the whole gain is exempt, and workers' compensation and social assistance are reported and then deducted. When you are unsure, report the amount and claim the offset.
Adoption costs are not a deduction, but they support a non-refundable federal credit and several provinces offer a parallel one. Eligible amounts include fees paid to an adoption agency recognised by the province, court and legal costs, mandatory immigration expenses for the child, and reasonable travel and living costs for the child and the adoptive parents. The claim is made for the tax year the adoption period ends, is limited to a maximum per child, and can be split between two parents.
