Business as Usual

On April 19, 2023, the Public Service Alliance of Canada entered into a general strike. CRA services may be partially or fully disrupted, or they may not be disrupted at all. For more information about the strike and affected services, please see more information here: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/corporate/about-canada-revenue-agency-cra/collective-bargaining/labour-disruptions-impact.html
During this time, services at Graham Scott Enns LLP will continue as usual. The tax deadline has not been extended past the May 1 deadline at this time. Our staff are working diligently to provide our clients with the services expected despite any challenges that we may encounter related to these disruptions.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding your personal taxes, please reach out to your accountant and we would be more than happy to help.
