Overcome the labor shortage for the tax season

Tax season has officially begun and this year, Quebec’s motto is to plan ahead due to a labor shortage affecting all of the county’s accounting offices, specific to the regions.

“Make an appointment right away,” said Eric Pronovost, Malette’s principal. There is a shortage and many accounting firms already have a closed list of their clients.

The year 2022 has not been easy on many people’s wallets with inflation, high interest rates and skyrocketing grocery prices.

Revenu Québec offers an assistance service for your income tax return this year. But what about software that allows you to complete your tax returns? According to tax experts, it’s an interesting tool for those who file simple and don’t necessarily have a large property, but others who file complex may have unpleasant surprises.

Normally, the deadline to file a tax return is April 30, but since this year it falls on a Sunday, taxpayers have until May 1 to file.
