Quick Tax Tips

Keeping an “account” of your stuff can make tax season – and our job – much easier. Take a look at these tax tidbits:

• Get organized: throughout the year, put all your pay stubs, charity receipts, and other paperwork in a central place 
• Keep track of your capital gains and losses, as well as tips (they’re taxable) – you won’t get a slip or statement for these!
• Prone to losing things? Scan your paperwork
• Even if you don’t have a job, if you’re turning 19 before April 1, file a tax return to collect GST/HST credit – it’s practically free money
• Research tax breaks for upcoming big occasions, such as starting university, getting married, buying your first home, or having your first kid
