Core Personal Tax Services
We work with individuals, families, and self-employed professionals across Surrey and the surrounding communities to handle tax preparation and compliance accurately and efficiently.
1. T1 Income Tax E-Filing
The annual T1 General Income Tax and Benefit Return is mandatory for most Canadians. Our process is designed to be seamless, precise, and current with the latest federal and provincial regulations.
- Accurate Preparation: We gather and verify all necessary documentation, including T4s, investment slips, medical expenses, and donation receipts.
- Prompt E-filing: We utilize secure electronic filing (E-file) to submit your return to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) quickly and confirm its receipt.
- Review and Compliance: Before submission, we conduct a careful review to confirm all reporting requirements are met, minimizing the risk of audit or future issues.
2. Deduction and Credit Optimization
The rules surrounding tax deductions and non-refundable credits are continually changing. A detailed approach is necessary to ensure you are taking advantage of every opportunity available to you in British Columbia.
We focus on helping you optimize your financial position by:
- Identifying Deductions: Systematically examining your financial year for opportunities to lower your taxable income, such as Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) contributions, childcare expenses, moving costs, and employment expenses.
- Claiming Credits: Ensuring proper application of non-refundable tax credits, including the basic personal amount, medical expenses, tuition fees, and various provincial credits specific to BC.
- Income Splitting Strategies: Advising on legal income-splitting methods for couples where applicable, such as pension income splitting, to reduce the overall family tax burden.
Proactive Financial Planning Support
Tax planning is most valuable when integrated into a long-term financial view. We assist you in moving beyond yearly compliance to building a solid financial path forward.
3. Strategic, Long-Term Financial Planning
Planning today influences your financial health for years to come. Our work focuses on creating enduring financial structures that align with your goals, whether they involve retirement, education, or wealth preservation.
- Retirement Savings: Reviewing your contributions to and withdrawals from Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSP) and Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSA) to maximize growth and reduce tax liability during your working and retirement years.
- Capital Gains Management: Developing strategies to manage the disposition of investments or real estate (non-principal residence) to control and mitigate capital gains tax exposure.
- Estate and Legacy Considerations: Working with you and your legal advisors to structure your assets in a tax-aware manner to ensure a smooth transition of wealth to future generations.
