Hello, I am Claudia Ku, a tax accountant based in Toronto, with diverse tax experience for over 20 years in personal tax, corporate tax and international tax.
As a tax specialist, I am obsessed in helping my clients to save taxes. Helping my clients to file their tax returns once a year is essentially just helping them to settle their taxes with the Canada Revenue Agency for the previous year. It is the tax planning ideas that I advise them throughout each year have saved them the most money at tax time and in the years to come.
The Canadian income tax system is complex and constantly changing. The tax rules that you knew a couple years ago may have been modified. You are entitled to arrange your affairs, within the limits of the tax law, to minimize the taxes for your business and family. However, tax avoidance and tax evasion are different stories. While the former is considered as misuse or abuse of the tax law, the latter is illegal. As a tax accountant, I strive to help my clients to navigate through the complex tax system to help them to minimize the taxes weighing on their businesses and/or their families.
