Canadian Income Taxation, 2011/2012 Edition

Just as bridges connect parts of Canada together, Canadian Income Taxation: Planning and Decision Making connects tax law and its application to business and investment transactions and decision making. It ultimately helps students reach their professional examination goals and is recognized by the ICAO as a recommended text for CA students.

Buckwold/Kitunen's unique approach is further supported with a comprehensive technology package. Each text includes the CICA's Income Tax Collection resource (which includes a searchable version of the Income Tax Act), as well as hands-on access to Intuit's ProFile tax preparation software.
