We started a personal tax deadline extension 

. We addressed the petition to Honourable Diane Lebouthillier as she is the Minister of National Revenue and responsible for the Canada Revenue Agency and administration of taxation law and collection.

Even though a protentional strike has been known for months, there has been no urgency from the The Canada Revenue Agency to extended it’s deadline despite more than 35,000 CRA workers who are striking.

“As a result of PSAC-UTE’s decision to begin labour action, Canadians should expect that some CRA services will be delayed or unavailable.” –

We the undersigned are preparers of personal income tax returns for Canadian taxpayers or ourselves(as Canadian tax payers) and are concerned about the lack of support provided by CRA to file personal tax returns given the strike by Public Service Alliance of Canada – Union of Taxation Employees (PSAC-UTE) employees. How are Canadians supposed to prepare their personal income tax returns with due care without the ability to ask questions? The CRA has a significant reduction in staff on personal inquires (1-800-959-8281) phone line, which impacts low-income Canadians the most, as they may not have access to a team accountants to answer their questions.

We request an extension to June 15, 2023 for all individuals.

Zenbooks advocates for Canadian taxpayers (individuals and businesses) on important issues. Including:

 – As a professional accounting firm is important we advocate for Canadian taxpayers and insist on important topics that involve Canadian individuals and small business owners. In the past we’ve 

 on CRA documents and have successfully pressured the CRA to recognize electronic documents on their all important T183 forms.

 for individual canadians to lower the financial and emotional burden for canadians to remain compliant with their obligations under the Income Tax Act.

 in Canada, we understand the everyday Canadians who are struggling. Let’s share/Like and make some change!

What else can we do to get this extension approved? Comment below!

We started a personal tax deadline extension petition on Change.org. As a professional accounting firm we advocate for Canadians.

Zenbooks has been an important part of the growth of our business. We have grown from a solo consultancy to now having ten people on payroll thanks to the advice from Colin, Eric and the Zenbooks team. They take care of accounting, bookkeeping and payroll for us. They have also helped make tax headaches, much less of a headache. I'm so happy to have these knowledgeable people to help me in this area!

Jeremy Irving

Excellent Modern Accounting firm to work with. Recommended!

IC360 Solutions

Simply the BEST accounting firm in CANADA hands down.
Our accountant Albert is more than just an accountant for us, we consider him a family friend. He goes out of his way every year to help us negate through the crazy world of taxes.

Thank you Zenbooks and THANK YOU Albert, for always being there for us.

I use these guys for the accounting for my small business and couldn't be happier. I am clueless about taxes and find the topic really stressful but Colin is always great at simplifying things and handling all the stuff I don't want to handle myself. Their fees are reasonable and I love the fact that they have our bookkeeping up-to-date instead of months behind. I'd strongly recommend them if you're looking for a good accounting firm.
