| Jan 25 at 15:16 | comment | added | Grade 'Eh' Bacon | Most people however really do need their hand held to cover the basics, because there really isn't such a thing as 'universal tax education' in Canada. I enjoy helping people who have questions in this area, and it would be commendable to try and build a service that offers the information more broadly. But then the ultimate conundrum is: would you just be duplicating the CRA's guidance on these things, because you need to be so broad and comprehensive? And if not, would you risk over-stating your teaching by not covering the basis, resulting in misinformation [maybe even being liable]. | |
| Jan 25 at 15:14 | comment | added | Grade 'Eh' Bacon | @qwerty_99 Do you mind my asking what your general intent would be in providing the information? Is this going to be a 'destination' website that you try to draw traffic to, or is it going to be a way to build online presence for your accounting firm etc., or is it going to try to sell a product, such as tax software? I have a lot of thoughts about the lack of independent tax guidance in Canada, but one of the real problems is simply how much personalized attention is really needed to truly add value. A self-learner can answer most tax questions themselves, with enough effort. | |

| Jan 25 at 14:47 | comment | added | qwerty_99 | Thanks! So this seems to be the rule, with some exceptions (e.g. Quebec provincial tax credit)? | |
