Before I start talking about tax stuff, I’d like to get some minor self-promotion out of the way: This week, for those of you who live in and around Montreal (or want to come visit!), you have the unique opportunity to see me on-stage in circa-1900 overalls walking an imaginary horse! That’s right….I’ll be making my theatre debut in Our Town… [ 706 more words ]

A quick note to everyone out there who paid their taxes ON TIME and IN FULL to Revenu Quebec this year:

If you got a scary letter saying you still owed the taxes (GST/QST or personal tax) and now penalties and interest as well, you likely don't have to worry! Our always efficient (*sarcasm*) and wonderfully accommodating (*really bad sarcasm*) Quebec Government appears to have jumped the gun in sending out notices of assessment this year. If you did get one of these letters and you did pay your bill on time, it will likely self-correct within a couple of weeks. Feel free to drop me a line if you want some reassurance....I'm temporarily changing my blog name to the Reassuring Accountant...it's got a nice ring to it, no?

Have a nice day!
Sincerely,
The Reassuring (and hopefully still Funny) Accountant
