Personal Tax Planning

We provide personal tax planning for simple to complex situations. Our Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) examine multiple scenarios using mock income returns (T1) to determine optimal personal income tax planning for your unique situation. Mock income tax returns are a great tool for analyzing financial situations related to multiple streams of income, expected capital gain, creating a corporate structure, expected life events, and immigration or emigration. Our personal tax planning accountants analyze the outcomes of each potential scenario to create a feasible tax strategy to maximize your wealth.

If you are concerned about your individual income taxes for the year being very high, speak with an accountant. Get maximum income tax refunds through our professional optimization and get peace of mind that you are submitting an accurate tax return.

Our tax planning accountants save clients thousands of dollars every year through careful tax planning. Get in touch with us for a free consultation to learn how much you could save on your tax return this year.

Tax Planning for You and Your Family

Personal tax planning services don’t just apply to yourself - they affect your family as well.

Each year, the tax credits available for families change. Families have many opportunities to take advantage of tax credits, including those involving RESPs (Registered Education Savings Plan), post-secondary education, property ownership, income splitting, child care credits, retirement contributions, charitable givings, and spousal loans.

Working with a financial and tax advisor helps ensure that you are minimizing your family’s tax burden as much as possible and planning for your future. Accountor CPA offers tax planning advice for families year-round to develop strategies to maximize the use of new tax credits and regulations.

Inheritance Tax Planning Advice

Having conversations about inheritance and success plans are difficult at any stage of life. We work with our clients to create comprehensive succession plans with wealth preservation in mind for future generations.

We ensure tax compliance for family trusts and provide inheritance tax planning advice for expected and unexpected situations. Get peace of mind that your gift to future generations is fully enjoyed.

Retirement Tax Planning

Turn your savings into as much retirement income as you can with retirement tax planning.

Before retirement, work with a personal tax advisor to diversify your portfolio and have several sources of retirement income, all while minimizing your tax burden within allowances. Among income sources, you may have CPP, OAS, GICs, company pensions, annuities, RRIFs, and a TSFA. Our CPAs can advise you on the optimal contributions to make and when to minimize your tax payable while you save for retirement.

When you choose to retire, tax planning will determine which sources you can withdraw from, how much you can withdraw, and when. Something as simple as withdrawing assets in the right order can save you thousands of dollars in taxes.

There are also a number of tax credits available to retirees. A professional tax planner can find the ones that suit you and can maximize your tax return each year.

Corporate Tax Planning

Paying taxes is an obligation of all registered corporations in Canada. Corporate tax planning reduces your tax liability through the development and implementation of short and long term tax strategies.

Because corporate tax laws are complex and constantly evolving, corporate tax planning and other tax planning for businesses is a lengthy and complicated process. You need a professional tax consultant to assist you in navigating the law and finding available tax credits and deductions for your unique corporation.

Benefits of corporate tax planning include:

• A lower tax rate;
• Reduced taxable income;
• Flexibility in paying taxes;
• Receiving more tax credits.

Accountor CPA’s tax planning for business owners and corporations allow you to reinvest more earned capital back into your company year on year. We develop custom corporate tax plans year-round for businesses across Canada.
