Personal Tax Filing
In Canada, an individual tax payer is required to file income taxes by April 30th (June 15th if the taxpayer or their spouse is self-employed) if there are any taxes owing on that date. At Gauvreau we assist over 2,000 individuals with their personal tax filing requirements on an annual basis. At the beginning of the tax season we provide our clients with an income tax checklist so as to ensure all information required to be included in the tax filing is done so, and that any available deductions are fully utilized.

Income Tax Planning
A proactive review of your personal tax position to ensure any current or future income tax issues are fully understood and any opportunity to mitigate those taxes is executed. This may involve the review of specific transactions prior to their execution to ensure no unexpected tax liabilities exist, discussions and analysis based on your current year results and the expected tax outcome of such results to ensure that the most tax efficient structure is in place.
-
Financial Retirement
The objective of financial retirement planning is to ensure that you have the available funds and assets available that should you choose to retire that you will have no financial stress at that time. At Gauvreau & Associates we will work with you to ensure that you take the necessary steps to realize your financial freedom and have the necessary financial assets available to enjoy your life in retirement.

Estate Planning
It is never too early to begin planning for the efficient transition of wealth from one generation to the next. A proactive estate plan ensures that wealth reaches your loved ones and are properly dispersed according to your wishes. Our team of tax professionals help individuals with diverse portfolios and assets determine the best plan to allocate wealth to your beneficiaries and will work with you to ensure that the legacy you leave behind is what you desired.
Tax Services for Trusts
A trust is a fiduciary arrangement that allows a third party, or trustee, to hold assets on behalf of a beneficiary or multiple beneficiaries. We frequently use trust structures for both tax planning opportunities and estate planning opportunities as well as for a required filing upon the death of an individual taxpayer.
-
Analysis & Setup
As a part of the tax planning process our team focuses on utilizing all structures available to ensure our clients minimize their tax exposure. In some instances, this will involve the use of a trust where income can most efficiently be allocated amongst beneficiaries. Should the use of a trust become a good solution for our clients, we will work with their professional team to ensure that the appropriate characteristics are included in the trust to ensure the maximum tax savings.

Estate Tax Filing
A loved one passing is a very difficult time for everyone. In additional to the emotional anguish, there are significant complexities when it comes to dealing with the taxation of an individual upon death, as well as the probate of the assets of the estate and the eventual distribution of assets to beneficiaries identified in the will and final testament. Our team will assist the executors and their legal representatives with the processing of the final taxes, filing of the required estate tax returns, and filing for clearance certificates, while at the same time compassionately providing clarity and direction through the entire process.

Working with Tyler Powers was excellent. He has a genuine interest in his clients as he took extra time to help answer questions and bring to light errors made by another accounting firm. I have high standards, especially with accounting as my field of study, and Tyler exceeds them all. I highly recommend Gauvreau.
