Dougie Dropbox is back in business and our porch resurfacing is finished with a new non-slip coating! Thanks for your patience while this project was completed.

Dougie Dropbox will be on a brief hiatus this week and our porch will be inaccessible while it is being resurfaced. If you need to drop off paperwork, please call us at 289-404-2286 to make arrangements or kindly hold on to it until Dougie is back next week.

A big thank you to Bloor Railing LTD for installing our new custom railing along the front steps! It’s a great addition to help make paperwork drop-offs to Dougie Dropbox and signing appointments easier to navigate for anyone with mobility challenges.

We woke up this morning to another coating of ❄️snow❄️ in our area! It caught us by surprise - we are definitely hoping for some spring weather soon! 🌤️🌱🌸

It also made us think of our virtual tax return option, and how you can have your taxes done without ever needing to leave the house! (The option for dropping off your paperwork and getting an envelope back from us with a paper return isn't going anywhere though, if that's your preference.)

How does it work? Upload your documents to our secure portal using the button on our website labeled "Click here to submit documents electronically" on our income tax page: https://www.bhbs.ca/income-tax. We receive a notification when you upload your files and add them to our queue to prepare your return.

Once we have everything ready, we will email you with the results and send over your forms via DocuSign for electronic signature. If it's your first time working with us, we will also include identify verification via DocuSign where it will prompt you to show your photo ID and submit a video for the system to confirm your identity.

We'll send you a secure link to download your full tax package for your records and an invoice with your payment options (credit card or e-transfer) and that's it! ✅Taxes completed!

We’re here to make tax season as simple as possible for you. The choice is completely yours based on what you prefer and are most comfortable with.

E-filing opens Monday, February 23, 2026 for the 2025 tax season! We're ready - are you?

Not sure what documents you need to prepare your taxes? Need something to jog your memory to see if all your tax-related documents have arrived?

Each year we update our Tax Documents Checklist as a resource for you and include it in our annual tax client email. It lists the different types of income slips and highlights the more commonly applicable credits.

Download the 2025 checklist here: https://bit.ly/taxdocschecklist2025

You can also visit the income tax page on our website for step-by-step instructions on completing your tax return with us, which includes a link to the checklist.

Nothing like a little afternoon tea to celebrate a joyful milestone! 💕☕️

The team at Beacon Heights swapped screens, spreadsheets and receipt stacks this week for scones, sandwiches, and lots of laughs as we celebrated our wonderful coworker, Stephanie, and her growing family.

We are so excited to welcome her new "highly koala-fied bookkeeper's assistant!" (Swipe for onesie cuteness.)

Thank you to .coffee for the wonderful experience and delicious tea and treats!

Important dates for the 2025 tax year!

February 23, 2026: E-filing opens for the 2025 tax year – each year, the CRA takes their e-filing system offline to change over for the new tax year; February 23 is the date they will re-open it and we can begin to file for 2025.

March 2, 2026: RRSP contribution deadline – while you can contribute to your RRSPs at any time, contributions made up to March 2, 2026 will still impact your 2025 taxable income.

April 30, 2026: Filing deadline for individuals – file by this date to avoid being charged interest and penalties on a balance owing and to prevent a disruption to any benefit or credit payments you receive.

June 15, 2026: Filing deadline for sole proprietors – if you or your spouse or common-law partner had a sole proprietor business in 2025, you both have a longer filing deadline. However, if you are going to have a balance owing, it still hast to be paid by April 30. So if you are a sole proprietor but not sure if you will end up with a refund or not, we recommend filing earlier.

Our annual tax client e-mail will be going out in mid-February with our updated client forms, a summary of what’s new/changed for 2025 taxes, and information on how to get your tax documents to us including our convenient fully virtual/electronic option and physical paperwork drop off instructions. The choice is yours!
