ENSO Accounting and Tax
121 Jubilee Street V9L1W6 Duncan, BC, Canada

In response to the PHO on March 30th the Provincial Government has come out with a grant to help. Obviously its not enough to cover all the lost revenues but every dollar helps at this point. They have also issued a rebate on capital purchases. Check out the links below and if you have any questions please reach out to the office. https://www2.gov.bc.ca//cov/economic-recovery/relief-grant... https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2021FIN0022-000654

Athena sitting awkwardly enjoying her new bone. But don't worry if you come in the office she will be the first to run and greet you!

I love that I am able to bring my dog to work with me!

Come say hi at the new space!

Happy Friday everyone! My friend sent me this clip this morning and it's too good not to share. If you have questions about tax write offs, come see us! https://youtu.be/hg1Uk60rBsc

Merry Christmas everyone!! We at ENSO want to wish all of you a very happy holiday season. The office will be closed the 24th through the 28th. However if there is an accounting emergency you know how to get a hold of us.

Hello Facebook world! Hope you are all well and saying safe and sane! If you have yet to file your 2019 personal taxes don't fret, you are not alone! Yes the extended deadline has passed but we can still get you right with the CRA so that you don't miss out on any GST or Child Tax payments. Give the office a call (778-455-2000) or send us a message if you have any questions.

Gotta love it when clients give you fresh caught fish! #BestClientsEver

It's hard work being an office dog!

Many of you may have heard by now but they have put forward the calculation for the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS). I have been working with the CRA template spreadsheet all morning to calculate the benefits for clients. I've been pleasantly surprised at how much the benefit will be for our clients! Please reach out if you have any questions about this or any other programs.

Sorry friends, I couldn't wait! Today's lunch was expertly crafted by chef Ian at The Ainslie. How I miss their delicious food! Rumor has it they are open tomorrow too! #covidlunch #shoplocal #eatlocal #helplocal #porkbellytaco #scratchmade #getinmybelly #moreplease!

Its a tough time out there for a lot of people, if you need to talk please reach out to either friends and family or other support systems in place. You don't need to suffer alone, we are in this together. Stay safe out there folk!

I've got my order in! Hurry before everything sells out!

Looks like good news from this past weekend! Will try and keep everyone up to speed as we know things. If you have any questions please call the office. "The bill authorizes the federal government to pay companies 75 per cent of the first $58,700 earned by each employee, up to $847 per week for up to 12 weeks. The subsidy is retroactive to March 15 and will be available to companies that lost 15 per cent of their revenue in March or 30 per cent in April or May."

I forgot to take the photo before I dove in, whoops! It feels like deja vu at the office with another amazing meal from our friends at Corner House Cafe!

Here is a great step by step about setting up a myCRA account! Its instructed by an old professor of Kevin's so you know its well done!

WARNING I wanted to let everyone know that I personally, as well as others have received a text message this morning from someone claiming to be from the Emergency Response Benefit of Canada Relief Fund. I did not apply for any such relief so this is a scam. There is a lot of really scummy people out there that want to take advantage of people in a desperate time. I hope everyone stays safe and remember to be smart!

Hello everyone, hope you all are staying safe and healthy! We want to remind you that we are still here to help you with all your tax needs. If you are expecting a refund we want you to get it sooner then later, additionally they recommend people who are getting GST and Child Tax Benefits to file their returns so that they are still enrolled in those programs. That being said we are trying to adhere to the social distancing guidelines and have also stepped up our cleaning pr...ocedures. We can do a lot of the communications by correspondence for those of you in isolation or do not feel comfortable entering the office. If you can scan your slips and email them to us we can start on your return. Then when we are finished we can send you electronic copies of what we need signatures on. If you do not have scanning capabilities we do have a mail slot you can drop your tax information through if you do not feel comfortable entering the office. We will be cleaning the mail slot regularly, as well as the rest of the office. In order to keep all of our clients safe and healthy we recommend minimizing contact so if you are able to follow one of the above then please do. See more

Today's #covidlunch comes from our good friends at Corner House Cafe! Can't beat the Chinese special.

Hope everyone is saying safe and healthy! Firstly just wanted to remind everyone that we are open for business so if you want to get a jump on your taxes because you may be getting a refund and need the cash let us know. If you are not feeling well or are not comfortable coming into the office we can do most things remotely via email. So give me a call (778-455-2000) or email me ([email protected]) if you have questions or want to get started. I also wanted to quickl...y share some links with everyone. They should be able to answer some of your questions in these uncertain times. https://www.ctvnews.ca//how-to-apply-for-ei-sickness-benef https://www.canada.ca//depart/economic-response-plan.html https://static1.squarespace.com//Key_Points_Canada%27s_COV Stay safe out there!

Second installment of the #COVIDLunch series proved by Fresh Kenny's Fish and Chips!

The emergency support benefit will offer payments of undisclosed amounts to unemployed workers who are not eligible for EI. Sadly it looks like applications wont be open until April.

There is an announcement expected tomorrow which will extend the deadline for filing personal taxes. However we are still open our regular hours to service all of you.
