DEDUCTIONS – ADMINISTRATION FEES
You have the option of deducting our fee from your refund cheque, (if the fee amount is less then your return), we deposit the cheque into our trust account and then reimburse the difference. There is a charge of $10 (plus gst) for the administration fee.
NOTE:
You can save money if you take the time to add up all your dividends, interest, deductions, rental property expenses etc. Please use the tax time checklist to do this. The better your records – the less the preparation time, and costs.
