Taxing Times are HERE

Paint 3D generated clock~the rest is yours truly

Through the medium of this blog, though I do attempt to spread a modicum of humour, that is not the intent alone. For I do not wish to be taxing, never mind the increase in the number of taxes and the changes in their modus operandi. There is some respite, as the change in capital gains tax will be effective January 1, 2026, when the inclusion rate will increase from one-half to two-thirds. My goal is to help you in filing your Canadian personal and corporate taxes in an efficient manner.

Please reach out to CEO@TrushaDesai.com as soon as all receipts are received. I am available all year round to file your personal and corporate taxes: prior year tax returns are also prepared and e-filed.

Please connect (or reconnect), as the case maybe ~ for your professional bookkeeping, payroll, management consulting, capital gains, personal and corporate tax requirements to me, Trusha Desai aka Trusha Pandit, Founder & CEO of Trusha Desai Innovation Management Inc. ceo@TrushaDesai.com #TrushaDesai.com 

Ring out the old

It must be the Gregorian Calendar that brings the year to a close and instills upon us the hoop-la that accompanies it. Or maybe there is something about a New Year that is a causative, the hope to indulge in new resolutions. Or perhaps it is a sweeter indulgence that accompanies the festivities at this time of year. 

If you are a small business owner a calendar year-end may coincide with your fiscal year-end. And you may be impelled by your accountant and bookkeeper to organize your documents. Now with accounting data in the cloud, we urge you to upload your receipts so that backup documents are available.  

And we affirm yet again that we are here to help you in your bookkeeping, management consulting, personal and corporate tax preparation matters. We specialize in cloud accounting software such as Oracle NetSuite, Intuit QuickBooks Online, Intuit QuickBooks Desktop, Xero. With over twenty-five years of senior accounting experience in Vancouver, Canada, Trusha Desai, Founder & CEO of Trusha Desai Innovation Management Inc. is a Certified Professional Bookkeeper, Certified QuickBooks Online (Advanced) ProAdvisor, and Certified Xero Advisor. Do reach out to CEO@TrushaDesai.com 

And above all, our best wishes to you and yours for 2025. 

#Canadian #Budget for 2025

Seniors and retirees are squished into fixed income #budgets squashed by inflation in all spheres, ranging from groceries to shoes to haircare: do you go on a perennial

diet ~ chowing down on that monogamous potato that will be your best friend, frequent the shoe repairman who will be on first name terms with you, or simply grow your hair … being mindful that shampoos, conditioners, and Morocco oil are not inexpensive … you may run out of pencils while crafting your budget. And then you think, oh! Those craft brew guys have it tough too.

So, does your investment income beat inflation? If it does, have you factored in #Canadian personal income #tax? Do reach out, I can ensure that all credits that are forthcoming are accounted for in a CRA-friendly fashion.

We have not touched on fraudulent swindles that target seniors. We have not seen the tip of the floating iceberg in Antarctica of harassment in all its shapes, sizes, colors, and manners that affect seniors duly termed #ageism.
