Taxation

Taxation

Clients engage us in many ways throughout the year, according to their unique situation and needs. Services range from assisting with compliance (preparation and filing) of HST to complex planning for business start up, expansion and succession. Our clients benefit from their firm being part of The AC Group regional network, as specialized expertise at one firm can be a resource to any of the member firms.

Corporations

In addition to filing required corporate tax returns for our clients, we are constantly looking for ways to keep their tax bills to the legal minimum. We provide a broad range of planning services that commonly involve estate plans, corporate reorganizations and income splitting techniques.

Personal

We provide tax advice and tax return preparation services to a wide variety of individuals. We are often called upon to assist clients in their cross-border tax reporting.

GST/HST

GST/HST rules are complex and often difficult to understand. Failure to comply with the rules can result in considerable tax liability, as well as an exposure to potential interest and penalties. All firms are able to advise clients on GST/HST rules, and several have highly qualified individuals who specialize in GST/HST services.

Estate and Trust Returns

We are often called upon to assist in the preparation of the final tax return and trust returns for the estates of deceased taxpayers. This is a complex area of tax law and the advice of a lawyer and tax accountant are a must.
