Updated Checked by the Tax-Services.ca editorial team How we check
This site is free to read and use. It is paid for by advertising, shown by Google AdSense. Ads never change a calculator result, a rate or a date, and nothing else here is for sale to you. Below is how that works, how we decide what to write, and what to do if you find a mistake.
Where does the money come from?
- Advertising. Ads are shown by Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve and measure ads, as described in the cookies page and the privacy policy.
- Nothing else here is for sale to you. We do not sell tax advice, preparation or filing, and we are not a government site.
In plain terms, a visitor pays nothing, and the ads on a page are what cover the cost of running the site. An ad on a page is an ad. It is not advice from us, and it is not a statement from the CRA or any government body.
What does advertising change?
Nothing in a calculator result, a rate or a date. Ads are kept out of calculators and tables, and we do not take payment to change what a page says about a rate or a rule. If you spot an ad that sits inside a result or a table, tell us on the contact page and we will look at it.
The same applies to wording. A rule is described the way the official source describes it, whether or not an advertiser has an interest in the topic. If you work for a business and want to know how advertising is handled here, the advertising page explains it.
How do we choose what to write?
We write from the questions people ask about Canadian tax and from official sources such as the CRA and the provinces. Every figure links to its source, and the rate checking page explains how we check them. You can follow the source link on any page and compare our wording with the official page, which is the reference if the two ever differ. The editorial team page describes who stands behind the pages and how a page is made.
What if you find a mistake?
Tell us on the contact page. Our corrections policy says how we deal with errors. It helps if you name the page, say which figure looks wrong and, if you can, point to the official page that shows something different. Please do not send personal tax details.
What is this site not?
It is an independent information site. We provide no services, we do not represent the CRA or any organization, we collect information from open sources and we do not guarantee that it is accurate. The pages are general information, so they cannot take your own situation into account. For a decision about your own return, check the official source or ask a licensed professional. See the disclaimer and the privacy policy. The about page describes the site in more detail.
