When CRA officially opened the electronic floodgates on tax filing season on February 23 this year, it was with a number of pieces of news. Did you know, for example, that the GST/HST Credit has now been officially renamed the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit (CGEB)? You get it by filing a tax return and interacting with CRA’s new digital services, which unfortunately still refer to the old name – the GST/HST Credit. It’s just one of those “game changers” that make Real Tax News with Evelyn Jacks and Friends, starting this week for its second season, so valuable to Canadians.

This tax season will be remembered as a challenging one for most tax accountants and financial advisors who work with Canadians who have long tried to protect their savings and their heirs from financial ruin in retirement. There are two reasons: CRA’s new filing requirements for bare trusts and the significant cost factors retirees now face due to inflation, taxes and professional fees to keep it all straight.
