An “owner-built” home is a home built on land you own. You may qualify for a rebate of part of the GST or HST paid on labour and materials. For more information on this rebate, contact us today or talk to your contractor.
Death Taxes
There can be up to three different tax returns that can be filed on behalf of a deceased family member in order to lower their taxable income and save them money. This can be a confusing and stressful process, but we can help.
Trust Returns
Are you an executor of a will? There are two kinds of trust returns. Which do you need to file?
We are experts with this process and can make it much simpler for you if you are the executor.
