Tax Planning
A key component of taxation is the appropriate allocation of revenues and expenses to minimize the income tax payable. With tax planning this is done proactively in order to allocate the finances to minimize tax liabilities rather than creatively by waiting until year end where it may be possible to completely optimize the corporate tax return. We will work with you proactively through our tax planning services to ensure that your tax liabilities are minimized.
Personal Tax Returns
We complete personal income tax forms (‘T1’) for permanent residents of Canada required to file their income tax.
We also help Canadian residents that are recipients of German social security pension, such as an old age pension (‘Rente’,) in filing their income tax in Canada and Germany and ensure the acknowledgement of a foreign tax credit towards their tax by involving the knowledge and skills of our German-Canadian accountants and network of practitioners. As such it is important to know that all persons who receive old age pensions from Germany and reside in Canada are obliged to submit a tax declaration in Germany.
