Is there somewhere I can get help on this? Even a professional? What's the best to make sure I'm doing this all correctly and most economically?
I don't want the tax man after me! Haha.
Appreciate any suggestions and recommendations. Thank you  |
I'm sorry but I know nothing about the Australian tax system, even when the tax years ends.
For tax year 2009 you will file a Canadian tax return on or before April 30th. 2010 for year ending December 31st, 2009. You are required by Canadian law to file your global income for the 2009 year. If you have to pay Australian taxes for 2009 you will be allowed to deduct that paid from your Canadian return.
If most or all your income is employment derived you do not need an advisor. The Canadian system is quite simple. The tax form you filled out for your employer would indicate/instruct the Government as to how much allowances you wished to claim. If you under/overclaim it will be adjusted by refund/payment when you file your return.
If you have investments/rental properties then I suggest you hire an accountant.
