Inheritance Tax Planning in Canada: What Your Estate Will Actually Owe

Leaving an inheritance in Canada does not trigger a government inheritance tax bill. It can still trigger a large one, just under a different name, and it lands on the deceased rather than the beneficiary. Deemed disposition treats everything they owned as sold at...

Corporate Tax Planning in Canada: Managing the Small Business Rate and Salary vs. Dividends

Incorporating a business does not, by itself, save any tax. The savings come from how the corporation is actually run afterward, and specifically from three decisions that interact with each other on every return, and that sit at the center of tax planning strategies...

Retirement Tax Planning in Canada: Managing RRIF Withdrawals and the OAS Clawback

A retirement savings plan built for accumulation does not automatically work for withdrawal. The rules that governed decades of contributing to an RRSP flip once income starts coming out, and the accounts, pensions, and government benefits a retiree draws from all...

Tax Planning Strategies in Canada: The Specific Moves That Save the Most

Everyone wants to pay less tax, but very few decisions actually move the number. The ones that do share a common trait: they have to be made during the year, before it closes, not discovered at filing time. What follows are the strategies that reliably work in Canada,...

Tax Planning for Individuals in Canada: Lower Your Tax Bill Before Year-End

Most Canadians only think about tax once a year, in the scramble before the April deadline. By then, the year is closed and the chances to lower the bill are mostly gone. Personal tax planning is the opposite approach: making deliberate decisions through the year so...

Automatic Tax Filing in Canada: Why Business Owners Still Have to File

Headlines through 2026 have made it sound like tax filing in Canada is about to become optional. The Canada Revenue Agency is rolling out automatic filing, the coverage says, and millions of Canadians will soon have their returns handled for them. For a business owner...

Taxable Canadian Property: The Tax Rules for Non-Resident Sellers

A non-resident who sells a Canadian rental condo or a stake in a private Canadian company often assumes the tax follows them to wherever they now live. It does not. Some assets stay tied to Canada's tax system no matter where the owner has moved, and selling one can...

Corporate Tax Consultant: The Strategy Behind a Lower Corporate Tax Bill

Every incorporated business in Canada files a T2 return once a year. That part is mechanical. What separates a corporation that simply complies from one that keeps more of its earnings is everything that happens in the eleven months before that return is filed. This...

Tax Advisor: When Professional Advice Pays for Itself

Most Canadians only think about tax once a year, in the scramble between receiving their slips and the April deadline. By then, the decisions that actually move your tax bill have already been made. The RRSP contribution you did or did not make, the way you paid...

Corporate Tax Preparation Services: What Canadian Businesses Should Expect from Their Accountant

A business owner incorporates, files their first T2, and assumes corporate tax is straightforward: revenue minus expenses, apply the rate, pay the balance. By year three, the corporation has retained earnings, a shareholder loan, an equipment lease, and a dividend...

Google should have a 10 star rating for the Superstars! It was mid-April, and I found myself without my regular tax preparer. I had called a number of companies, most said they would not be taking new clients. I found Your Modern Accountant, and started perusing reviews. I called Patrick and was instantly set at ease, that yes, they could do my taxes. I went from "peel me off the ceiling" to "I can breathe again." I was lined up with Andrew from YMA, uploaded all of my tax info, and within hours, I had the rough numbers. All of my questions were answered so quickly, I was confident that Andrew knew the tax code, and would do best by me. I thought I'd be in tax debtors prison for the rest of the year, but Andrew got me a refund! The whole process was seamless, communication was constant, and the price was right! So tickled was I with YMA, I told a friend who needs help with her taxes...and now I'm telling you.....10/5 stars. YMA has a client for life.

Your Modern Accountant has been assisting with my business taxes for the past few years and I have received nothing short of fantastic service. Every tax season, it's super easy to do everything remote via laptops/phones and their online portal. They are very responsive and help get our tax filing done quickly and efficiently. They also tie all the tax conversations back to how it affects the overall financial health and financial planning for the company - which really helps steer us in some of our decisions. Would recommend their services and advice to any small business out there!

Outstanding company. I have a small business and have been working with Patrick and YMA for ~3 years. I like to do my own taxes - and need Patrick's expertise to help ensure I do them correctly and efficiently. Patrick is always available to answer all my questions in an easy to understand manner - all at an affordable price. Whenever friends ask for a referral, I always recommend they contact Patrick or any of the team at YMA. I am confident they will receive the same high level of service I receive.
