Guides

Every 2026 bracket and basic personal amount, plus the combined tax at common incomes, province by province.

Find what changed, write down the deadline, pay what you agree with, and object properly if CRA got it wrong.

The two tests, what counts, the rate to charge, the quick method, and what happens if you register late.

The plus-one rule, splitting years between a house and a cottage, and the form you must file even when no tax is owed.

Why depreciation comes back as income, how the land split changes the answer, and the lines on your return.

Federal and provincial brackets, the basic personal amount, CPP and EI, average versus marginal rate, for every province except Quebec.

Why you pay both halves of CPP, the June 15 filing date that still wants payment by April 30, and instalments.

The one-quarter and four-quarter tests, what counts as a sale, and what happens if you register late.

How the gain is worked out, the “plus one” rule, and why a home sale must be reported even when no tax is owed.

Recaptured depreciation versus capital gain, the land and building split, and when to get help.

Where your room comes from, what a contribution saves this year, and the over-contribution penalty.

The objection deadline for individuals, how to object online or on paper, and what happens to interest meanwhile.

Upload a notice or a review letter and get it explained in plain English, with the deadline and next steps.
