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.
In today’s fast-changing economy, professionals in the tax, bookkeeping, and financial services sectors are facing increasing pressure to diversify their knowledge, demonstrate credibility, and add tangible value for clients navigating uncertainty. That’s where specialized credentials—particularly the Distinguished Master Advisor (DMA™) Designation offered through Knowledge Bureau—can make a meaningful difference.
The June 16 tax filing deadline for self-employed proprietors is just around the corner. Be sure to do a thorough review of business expenses allowable – it’s essential to be accurate for tax purposes and keep all receipts and documentation for audit purposes. Misinterpretation or misclassification of expenses can result in either an understatement or overstatement—both of which can impact income reporting, Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions, and income tax obligations.
