We recommend clients to get their tax info to us sooner than later and not wait until the last minute. If you owe tax, it does not need to be paid until Sept 1, regardless of when you file. However Tax filing deadline is June 1st. Delaying filing, also delays your refund and access to credits and other government supports.

Good to see the small business wage subsidy increased to 75% of wages from 10%. Will help to keep people employed and businesses afloat.

A good backgrounder on our supply management system for our dairy products. Although it keeps our prices of cheese and milk comparably higher than our US neighbours, it supports our family run dairy farms and farmers without resorting to large taxpayer funded subsidies like in the US. Nice to see Canadians of all political stripes unite against surprising trade threats from our southern neighbour.
