Did you know that the Disability Tax Credit is not only lucrative when it is claimed on the tax return, but it is required to enable fifteen other provisions on the return. There is so much money left on the table when this provision is missed. Here are the additional provisions, and why working with a DMA™ Personal Tax Services Specialist is so important. In fact, it’s not too late to get this credential yourself before the start of the tax season.
Baby Boomers and Gen X are already in the process of transferring their wealth to Millennials and Gen Z. However, increasingly the solution to wealth transfer for singles will be to plan a donations strategy. Consider these reasons individuals donate to charities:
As baby boomers age, technology makes it possible for people and businesses to operate globally, and economic changes make it appealing for people and businesses to purchase investment property globally. As well as the increase in the sharing of financial information between countries, cross border taxation issues become key for cross border employment, entrepreneurship or asset ownership, as does the issue of residency and U.S. citizenship.

When the pandemic hit, there was a natural surge in employees working from home.
In Canada, the percentage of *core-age employees working from home was about 43% in May 2020.
As the pandemic subsided, in December 2021, 26% of core-age employees in Canada worked from home, compared with 13% in the United States. Majority of people who are working remotely—want to keep it that way.
Disabled people represent the world’s largest minority. There are 1.1 Billion people in this category around the world and the reality is that this is a minority group everyone has the potential to join – any time.

Those over 65 tend to have the lowest labour force participation rate, and that has been pulling down the growth of Canada’s labour force in recent years, according to recent remarks by Tiff Macklem, Governor of the Bank of Canada. In addition, many small businesses in Canada are owned by Baby Boomers. There’s a potential problem if Baby Boomers own a business and plan to use the money they’ve invested to pay for their retirement years.
Nothing like a positive headline to grab your attention. The Financial Post article goes on to say: It’s been a miserable year for the global economy. And things could get worse with a mild recession potentially on the horizon. In an extreme downside scenario, this could wipe out US$5 trillion in global output, according to Bloomberg Economics. So, what to do?
