CRA’s Callback Service for Tax Pros Pilot
Are you a tax professional with years of experience? Have you ever felt frustrated after calling the CRA, having spent hours on hold, wasting your client’s or employer’s time, only to speak to CRA agents who aren’t qualified to answer your questions? The Auditor General of Canada was equally displeased in a scathing report last fall on wait times and accuracy levels at the CRA. Now a new CRA callback service may come to the rescue this tax season. Here is my experience with the pilot project so far:Fort Mac – We Have Your Back!
Knowledge Bureau wishes to extend to all our fellow Canadians in the Fort McMurray and surrounding areas, our sincerest sympathies for your suffering as a result of last week’s devastating wild fires. We pledge our support to all our students, graduates, designation holders and friends in the province, as we offer our thoughts of consolation and prayers to you.
Donations Tax Credit Goes Further for Fort Mac

GST/HST Remittances: Are You Already Late?
If you have a December 31st year end, the due date for making annual GST/HST remittances is April 30, even though proprietorships have until June 15 to file the T1 General Tax and Benefits return. So if you owe GST/HST now, be sure to make a payment immediately to avoid interest charges.
