At Artbooks, your tax return goes through a minimum of 8 stages and at least 5 pairs of hands before we mail out the final version. The real work of processing your return cannot begin until we receive your last piece of information. This is much easier to do earlier in the season, simply because we have more time.
This year, instead of basing your pricing time zone on the date of your appointment, it will be based on the date you get your last piece of information into our office. This change better reflects the level of pressure placed on your accounting team.
We are not only trying to encourage you to come in as early as possible, but also to get your missing information in quickly. This way we can process your file before our workload quadruples and time pressures mount as we approach the dreaded April 30th deadline.
Our fee schedule for tax returns this year is:
| TIME ZONES | Returning Clients | NEW Clients | Short Appts* | Simple T4** | T4+ (Rental Income) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Before April 1 | $260 | $285 | $210 | $115 | $185 |
| April 1 (+$25) | $285 | $310 | $235 | $140 | $210 |
| April 15 (+$25) | $310 | $335 | $260 | $165 | $235 |
| April 22 (+$25) | $335 | $360 | $285 | $190 | $260 |
| May - Feb | $260 | $285 | $210 | $115 | $185 |
All appointments with Amanda are subject to a $35.00 premium.
Be aware that the schedule will fill up fairly quickly so book your appointment early. Please note that we require 2 full business days' notice to cancel an appointment or the full fee for that appointment will apply.
* NOTE: Short appointments are by invitation only.
** NOTE: Simple (or complex) T4 returns do NOT include meetings with a preparer. If you wish an appointment to discuss your finances you could book a Loose Change session after the tax season.
