Glenbrooke FAQ
Questions from Local Residents
Common accounting questions from Glenbrooke homeowners and small business owners regarding tax and bookkeeping.
I live in Glenbrooke and rent out my basement suite. What can I deduct?
You can deduct a portion of your home's operating costs relative to the size of the rental unit. This includes mortgage interest (not principal), property taxes, utility bills, house insurance, and home maintenance. We help you calculate the correct percentage to ensure you are not over-reporting income or inviting CRA scrutiny with excessive claims.
Can you help me catch up if I haven't filed taxes in three years?
Yes. We specialize in catch-up filing for Glenbrooke residents. We help gather your missing slips, reconstruct business records if necessary, and file the returns to clear your record with CRA. In many cases, we can help reduce or eliminate late-filing penalties through the Voluntary Disclosure Program if you meet the requirements.
Is it better to file as a sole proprietor or incorporate my home business?
This depends on your annual net income, liability risks, and whether you need to leave funds in the business for deferral. Generally, if your business is earning more than you need for personal living expenses, incorporation may offer tax advantages. We provide a detailed review of your specific situation to determine the most tax-efficient structure for your Glenbrooke operation.
Do you provide training for QuickBooks or Xero?
Yes. If you prefer to handle your daily transactions yourself but want professional oversight, we can set up your cloud accounting system and provide training. This ensures your Glenbrooke business records are organized correctly from the start, making your year-end tax filing much smoother and more affordable.
