Synopsis

Get in the game and step up to the plate — it's time to save tax!

Canadians love to hate taxes, and complaining about a huge tax bill is something of a national sport. But most Canadians have done little or nothing to reduce the income tax they pay. If you want to win the tax game, you've got to step up to the plate!

Noting can better protect hard-earned income and help to accumulate wealth than clever tax strategies.
