Finance Canada Drops Draft Legislation August 15

All professional tax practitioners, financial advisors should take note of an important mid-summer release of draft legislation to implement some of the proposals from the November 2024 Fall Economic Statement, the April 2024 Budget, the EIFEL rules announced on August 12, 2024, and rules relating to passive income of foreign affiliates announced in the 2022 federal budget.  This draft legislation also introduces more modifications to new trust filing requirements. Brief highlights appear below;  technical details will be discussed in the September 17 and November 5 CE Summits and Knowledge Bureau’s certificate course on T3 Filings. 

As a professional, you can work the room like a professional.

If you have been shocked to find a balance due rather than a refund, be sure to file your return before midnight April 30 to avoid late filing penalties. This is an important first step in keeping more money, even if you can’t pay your bill immediately.

The 2015-2016 Manitoba provincial budget is scheduled to be tabled on April 30, 2015, but some of the goodies are already out of the bag.

There is very little that sends butterflies flitting through the stomach like that little brown envelope from CRA saying “we would like to take a closer look at your tax returns.”
