The tax planning process for individuals, self-employed and commissioned persons is a little different than tax planning for corporations.

Though our plan always begins by clearly defining your goals and objectives. We then review your current operating structure and currently employed investment / debt management strategies set against your tax scenario.

After gaining an understanding of your current personal and corporate tax position as well as your level of comfort with a topic that most people prefer not to discuss; we align where your current tax liabilities are and where you would like them to be in an attainable, CRA compliant manner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we get about taxation from our clients:

As a self-employed individual, you can deduct various business-related expenses to reduce your taxable income. Office supplies, company travel expenditures, advertising charges, expert fees, and insurance premiums are a few examples of common deductible expenses.

 

Additionally, if you have a designated home office, you might be eligible to deduct a percentage of your home expenses. However, it’s crucial to confirm that these costs are acceptable and closely associated with your self-employed business operations.

 

You can figure out which expenses are deductible in your circumstance by keeping good records and seeking advice from a tax expert. Contact our experts at Kelly Beck to get started.

Keeping proper records is crucial for self-employed individuals to accurately report income and claim deductions. All business-related transactions, including sales receipts, invoices, bank statements, and expense receipts, should be kept in orderly records. The date, quantity, and reason for each transaction should be made explicitly obvious in these records.

 

Additionally, it’s crucial to maintain track of contracts, business-related mileage, and any other pertinent legal paperwork. You can support your tax returns, show that your deductions are valid, and be ready for an audit by keeping thorough records.

The taxation of an individual’s income, such as earnings, salaries, investment gains, and rental income, is referred to as personal tax. It applies to people who are working and have income from a job or another source outside self-employment.

 

On the other hand, self-employed tax is exclusive to those who work for themselves and derive their income from their entrepreneurial endeavors.

Various fines and repercussions may be imposed for tax law violations. Fines, interest charges on unpaid taxes, and even legal action in serious cases of tax evasion are some examples of these punishments. The specific penalties depend on the nature and severity of the non-compliance.

 

To maintain compliance with tax legislation and prevent potential penalties, it’s essential to fulfill tax duties on time, accurately record income, and get advice from a tax expert. Contact Kelly Beck Tax and Accounting today to get started!
