Canada’s meeting place for freelance writers and creators

Established 2010

Not too many freelancers are thinking about taxes in December, but it’s actually the perfect time to start putting your financial matters in order for 2022 and your 2021 tax return.

CFG Organizer Don Genova and Shannon Lee Simmons from the New School of Finance covered a lot of ground in a recent webinar about freelance taxes, everything from what kind of year-end expenditures you should plan on making, how to check estimates on taxes owing to ensure you’re on track, and how RRSP season can fit into your plans.

And we threw in some questions about foreign income and how to deal with collecting and paying H/GST when necessary.

Non-members are welcome to access the recording for $10 and can go directly to the CFG pay-per-view website.
