Tax? It’s simpler than people think.
Most Canadians find taxes confusing - and that’s normal.
Only 12 % of Canadians say they understand how much tax should be deducted from their paycheque, and just 9 % feel confident they’d spot an error on their tax forms.
Even among people who give to charity, only 56 % claim the tax credits they’re entitled to - meaning many are leaving money on the table.
Our plain-language guides make it easy to understand how donations affect your taxes.
