FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Canadian tax filing and our services.
Who is Maple Leaf Tax Advisory for?
All Canadians: residents, non-residents, expats, newcomers, cross-border workers — straightforward to complex returns.
Can I complete filing entirely online?
Yes. Our self-serve intake collects everything we need. Complete at your pace, upload docs, and we handle the rest.
Do I still need to file if I live abroad?
Depends on residency status. Non-residents generally file only on Canadian-source income. We help determine your obligations.
How do I know if I'm a non-resident?
CRA assesses based on residential ties — home, spouse, property, social ties. Simply leaving doesn't make you non-resident. We guide you through determination.
What is departure tax?
When you emigrate, CRA deems you to have sold most assets at fair market value. This can trigger capital gains. We calculate, file, and plan around it.
Can you help if I haven't filed for years?
Absolutely. We remediate unfiled returns and may use CRA's Voluntary Disclosures Program for penalty relief. Act before CRA contacts you.
How much does it cost?
Depends on complexity. After reviewing your info, we provide a fixed-fee quote — no surprises.
Do you work with clients outside Canada?
Yes. We serve Canadians in 40+ countries, all fully remote.
