WATCH RECORDED SESSION
Free tax help for your small business or corporation.
Experts from the CRA gave us a lot of information, including common tax errors, deductions, general bookkeeping concepts and best practices as well as helpful tools and services. Unfortunately, those sessions could not be recorded. If you do have questions about what you can and cannot do, I encourage you to reach out for a one-on-one 'confidential' session with a liaison officer. You can fill out the request form at canada.ca/cra-liaison-officer.
