The 2013 Canadian Federal Budget: Lots of technical tax changes
Budget Day 2013 finally arrived on March 21, 2013. By now you have likely received dozens of Budget 2013 summaries. After having had the opportunity to absorb the proposed tax changes, we are excited to share our reflective comments on some of the key proposed measures that will affect our clients and friends. This is lengthy so apologies in advance.

Canadians beware! United States limited liability companies may be hazardous to your (tax) health

2013 — The fiscal cliff, Obamacare, and maybe even US tax reform
The fiscal cliff has mostly come and gone. Last minute legislation has prevented the worst-case scenario of sharply higher US taxes on wages, interest, dividends, capital gains, and on estates.
