Free One-on-One Income Tax Consultation

The annual tax season is here again! For those who spend a considerable part of the year outside Canada and who possess overseas income, investments and assets, there are no easy answers to questions such as whether to file a tax return and how to go about it.  Also, for those who own businesses or are receiving rental income, what are the factors to take note when filing tax returns to ensure you are maximizing your tax benefits?

CICS, with the collaboration of a pool of financial consultants and professionals, is organizing a “Free 1 to 1 Income Tax Consultation” for those who are seeking advice to resolve situations described above. Interested participants are reminded to pre-register for a chance to take advantage of this service.  Space is limited; please register early to secure your spot.
