I learned general information on how to file taxes. Between the different T1, T4, and T5 forms. That you can file medical and moving expenses which I didn't know before.

By Jimberley Cotoner on 10/13/2023

Good learning material and coverage. It would be even better if the content is up to date to mention any changes, or upcoming changes come 2023-2024. I liked this course overall.

I wish they also covered self employment income taxes as that’s why I bought this course. It’s still decently informative though which I can translate the information for my own needs

By Caballero Capital on 4/24/2022

This is just a quick overview, I wouldn't call this a course. It's a shame since the teacher seems to be very knowledgeable.

By Samantha Mack on 1/30/2022

Very good overview of the Canadian Tax system. The information was well explained, but still concise enough to have a good understanding in a relatively short amount of time.

By Kazi Iqbal on 5/5/2020

Great course but still need more information regarding the process and must be updated course. this course was processed on 2017 and we are now at 2020. is there any changes in this time?

By Devanshi Thaker on 4/17/2020

The instructor is explaining everything in complete details. It would be more interesting of form T1 was discussed along with the explanations of income and expenses

By Marlene Zakharia on 8/9/2018

Provided a general overview of personal taxation and deductions. Helpful Instructor that used great examples to teach about personal tax basics and suggestions to reduce tax owing in simple terms.

By Orane Cole on 6/9/2018

Great insights provided for anyone wishing to learn more about personal taxes from an experienced Tax Expert. Although this course does not go too in-depth, its a great way to learn about the tax system in Canada and how to maximize returns and be in compliance with Tax Regulations.
