Corporate Income Tax Preparation
An effective tax strategy ensures you aren’t paying more taxes than you should and that the amounts you do pay, are paid at the right time. Some of the areas we focus on with Corporate Taxation include: corporate structure (incorporate or not), management remuneration (salary and dividends), payroll taxes, tax planning and minimization, advice on consequences of proposed transactions, and advice on current legislation interpretation. Another service we provide is tax compliance.

Estate Return Preparation
You may have been asked to be the executor for a friend or family member. In order to fulfill the duties of an executor and act in the best interests of the beneficiaries of the estate, it is important to understand the estate’s income tax filing obligations. A taxpayer’s financial activities don’t stop upon death. The estate income tax returns capture the income these assets generate, including any gains that the estate realizes from the deceased’s date of death until the assets are liquidated. Engaging an accountant early in this process to understand your obligations as executor or to help plan efficiently for your own estate once you’ve passed will ensure piece of mind that your final wishes are captured in the most tax and fee efficient way.
