About Tax Law & CPA
A practical approach to tax and accounting.
Tax Law & CPA provides accounting, tax and tax dispute services to individuals, entrepreneurs and owner-managed businesses across Canada.
Understanding the reality behind the numbers
Tax and accounting issues are easier to address when the facts are understood first. Records may be incomplete, deadlines may have been missed, or a filing position may need to be corrected. The work begins with understanding what happened and what the records show.
01
A contractor may have months of receipts to organize after spending most of the year on job sites.
02
A new business owner may not have known when GST/HST registration was required.
03
A CRA letter may require a response, supporting documents or clarification of a prior filing.
04
Errors can occur without an intention to avoid tax and may need to be corrected through the appropriate process.
How we work
- Confirm the relevant facts, records and deadlines.
- Identify the tax, accounting or compliance requirements that apply.
- Explain the options and required next steps clearly.
- Consider cost, timing, cash flow and administrative burden when making recommendations.

Important Tax Filing Dates
Selected Canadian tax deadlines for 2026.

Personal tax filing and payment
Deadline for most individuals to file their 2025 T1 return and pay any 2025 balance owing.

Monthly / quarterly GST/HST
Monthly and quarterly GST/HST registrants generally file and pay one month after the end of the reporting period.
Annual GST/HST
Most annual GST/HST filers file and pay within three months of fiscal year-end. Special timing applies to certain self-employed individuals with a December 31 year-end.
