Taxation and accounting are two of the most complex processes that people have to work and deal with. Whether the individual is running a business, company, or their individual accounts, they have to have their finances and their books in place. Not dealing with their books properly could lead to significant issues with the authorities when it comes to taxation. If they do not pay the correct amounts, individuals can face fines and penalties, even leading to jail time.

If this is your first time filing your taxes, welcome to the ride. Taxes sound scary, but if you have the right tools – it’s not as bad as some make it out to be. As you’ll have to do this many times in your life, it’s best to take it slow and not panic. The tax filing process usually happens between March-April every year with the deadline to file on April 30th. In Canada, the filing of your annual taxes is a self assessment process. This means that all individuals and businesses must inform the government about how much they’ve earned, what deductions and credits they are claiming, calculate their total tax bill, and how much they underpaid or overpaid for the year. Calculating these figures can be a daunting task if you don’t know how! Fortunately, the experts at Can-Am CPA Professional Corporation recognize this and have come up with a Beginner’s Guide to preparing for tax season. This guide is designed to help you figure out the ins and outs of filing your taxes, so read on to know what you need to do.

Whether you’re an individual looking to file your tax returns for the first time or a business owner aiming to organize your payroll, an experienced accountant can help. A professional accountant has the financial acumen to analyze your receipts, improve your monthly cash flow, and keep you in good books with the Canadian Revenue Agency. 

Filing income taxes can be a complicated process, so it should not come as a surprise that taxpayers often get the tax filing process wrong in the first attempt.
