Cautions

This book is meant to provide general tax information and translate complicated bureaucratic language into plain English.

Be aware that Canada Revenue Agency regularly updates and changes their forms and guides. Although I have done my best to provide the latest links, I can pretty well guarantee that CRA will change something after this book has been published.
