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.

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.

The 2024 DAC Acuity Conference wrapped up in Banff today where thought leaders from coast-to-coast gathered to discuss the theme Imagine: Break Free to Embrace Transformative Change. In celebration of Knowledge Bureau’s 20th anniversary, the national financial educational institute handed out a series of awards to individuals, academics and firms in the tax accounting and financial services to recognize excellence in holistic tax and wealth management practices.

Still, tax assistance is possible and an important part of year end tax planning.
