Established 2010

From the moment the clock ticked midnight on December 31st your financial affairs, for the most part, of 2021, came to an end.

All the receipts and bills and invoices you've been throwing into the big shoebox (or however you track your finances) are basically done for the year and it's time to start the preparation to make your peace with the CRA.

Learn how to navigate the tax return minefield with Shannon Lee Simmons, founder of the New School of Finance. She'll do a deep dive on eligible deductions from your income, G/HST returns, income from foreign sources and yes, what to do if indeed you end up taking that shoebox full of receipts to a tax professional.
