for those who have already filed and are expecting a refund, or
still need to file and are looking for tips.
Sources available for interview:
- According to a recent TD survey, more than half (55 per cent)
of Canadians expect to receive a tax refund this year. While it may
be tempting to treat your tax refund as 'free money', it's
important to remember that your refund can have a greater impact
when used towards reaching your financial goals. Jenny Diplock, Associate Vice President,
Personal Savings & Investing, TD Canada Trust, can
speak to how Canadians can best maximize and aim to get the most
value from their tax refund.
- More than a quarter (28 per cent) of Canadians say the tax
filing process is stressful, confusing or intimidating. But, with
helpful tips, it doesn't have to be. Tarsem Basraon, Wealth Advisory Services, TD
Wealth, can speak to new 2016 rules and considerations,
common mistakes Canadians make when filing their taxes and the
consequences of not filing taxes properly or on time.
