Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why would I pay monthly?

Well, let’s put it this way: paying only during tax season is like showing up to a battlefield with a spoon and expecting to win. Canada’s tax landscape isn’t what it used to be—audits are up, tax traps are lurking in every corner, and the CRA is sharpening their pencils (and probably their pitchforks).

When you pay monthly, you’re not just buying a service; you’re investing in year-round protection. Here’s why that matters:

Audits Don’t Wait for April: The CRA loves a good surprise audit, and if one lands on your doorstep, you’ll want someone in your corner who already knows your situation. Spoiler: that’s not your seasonal tax guy.

Tax Traps Are Everywhere: With new rules, AMTs, share buyback taxes, and capital gains changes, the fine print is turning into a minefield. We’ll help you spot the traps before you step in them.

Proactive Help Saves You Money: The best way to handle taxes is to plan ahead. Year-round coverage means we’ll help you maximize your deductions, keep your books clean, and avoid costly mistakes before they happen.

Think of us as your financial GPS—navigating this new Canada without us is like driving blindfolded down an icy road. So why pay monthly? Because it’s not about “if” you’ll need help, it’s about when.

Trust us, it’s better to be prepared. Your future self (and your wallet) will thank you.

2. How much do Writeoff’s personal tax returns cost?

Our plans start at just $29 monthly, and that includes your tax return. Yep, that’s less than what you’d spend on one night of mediocre takeout, and unlike soggy fries, this actually pays off.

Here’s the kicker: the total yearly cost is $348 CAD ($29 × 12), but in most cases, it’s deductible. At an average tax bracket in Ontario, that means you’d get back around $87 CAD as a writeoff. So, you’re really only paying about $261 CAD/year for peace of mind, proactive advice, and a shield from CRA’s prying eyes.

3. How much do Writeoffs corporate tax returns cost?

Our corporate plans start at $299 monthly, and yes, that includes your corporate tax return. Think of it as the cost of having a tax ninja in your corner, but without the masks and throwing stars.

Here’s the deal: the total yearly cost is $3,588 ($299 × 12), and since it’s a business expense, it’s deductible. At the average corporate tax rate in Canada (12.2%), you’d get back around $438. That brings your real cost down to $3,150/year for proactive planning, year-round support, and not having to sweat an audit.

Want the full breakdown of what’s included? Check out our pricing page. Spoiler alert: it’s not just a tax return, it’s your ticket to staying ahead of CRA and the competition.

4. Can I mix and match Writeoff services?

Absolutely, you can mix and match our services like a tax-savvy buffet. In fact, we love when our corporate clients let us handle their personal taxes too. Why? Because when we’re managing both, everything stays in sync: paying yourself, separating personal and business expenses, and optimizing every deduction becomes a seamless process.

Plus, we offer bundles and savings for individuals with corporations, so you’re not just getting full-service coverage, you’re getting it at a better rate. Think of it as making sure no penny goes unaccounted for, whether it’s coming from your business or your personal wallet.

Ready to keep it all under one roof? Let’s make tax season the least stressful part of your year.

5. Who prepares the work?

It’s me. Just me. One CPA in Canada, doing every single return, review, and optimization personally. No offshoring, no subcontracting, and absolutely no nonsense. If you hire Writeoff, you’re hiring a professional who knows your situation inside and out, not someone halfway across the globe or juggling a hundred other files.

The catch? Since it’s just me, spots are limited. I keep my client list tight to ensure every return gets the care and attention it deserves. So, if you’re thinking of joining the Writeoff family, don’t wait, secure your spot now, because when I’m full, I’m full.
