The CRA TSlip Saga: An Update
This tax season has been particularly challenging for both taxpayers and tax professionals. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) provides tax information slips—such as T3, T4, T5, and their variations—through secure online portals: My Account and Represent a Client (RAC). This year, there were lots of problems with these portals, and now, it appears, CRA is not being quite transparent about when the slips were actually visible to clients and that doesn’t seem fair. Here’s an update on where we stand now.June: Tax Filing and Investment Planning Milestones

Many tax filers moan at tax time and wish they had made other decisions throughout the year but the incentive to change often disappears once the tax returns are filed. Tax and investment planning is a year-round process and we need to be mindful of important dates.

So why hasn’t the government been more proactive about getting this money in the hands of Canadians? Turns out an attempt was made. But there is more: a big opportunity for tax and financial advisors to help Canadians recover what is rightfully theirs and reinvest it for their future. Read on:
