		<description><![CDATA[For most of us, the purchase of gasoline is, for all practical purposes, a non-discretionary expense. Since the money has to be spent, the question becomes this: Does our tax system offer any relief by way of a deduction or credit for the cost of driving? The answer, as it usually is in tax, is yes … and no.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By now, most Canadian taxpayers (except the self-employed and their spouses, who have until June 15) will have filed their 2011 income tax returns. It’s quite often that a taxpayer will realize, after the return is filed, that information has been inadvertently misstated, or amounts have been omitted where an information slip was received after the return was sent, or even that claims have been made for deductions or credits to which the taxpayer is not actually entitled.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty tabled the government’s 2012 Budget in the House of Commons on Thursday, March 29.  The Budget proposes no new personal or corporate tax rate changes, nor are there any proposed changes to previously promised tax rate reductions. It does, however, contain a wide array of tax and tariff changes, most of them designed to increase revenue by eliminating perceived abuses.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Finance Minister Dwight Duncan delivered Ontario’s 2012 Budget on March 27, 2012. The Budget is projecting a deficit of $15.3 billion in 2011-12, $1 billion lower than projected a year ago, and decreasing to $15.2 billion in 2012-13. The 2010 Budget put forward a plan to cut the deficit in half within five years and to eliminate it in eight years. The government remains on track to meet the fiscal targets outlined in the 2010 Budget beyond 2012-13. This includes steadily declining deficits and a return to a balanced budget by 2017-18. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Each January and February, there is a flurry of television, radio, and online advertisements and phone calls and e-mails from financial advisers and financial institutions encouraging Canadians to contribute to a registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) or a tax free savings account (TFSA). One thing you won’t see in all that activity is promotions or incentives to split pension income. In fact, the mention of such a tax-planning strategy will likely draw a blank look from most Canadians.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As is the case every year, the individual income tax return to be filed for 2011 contains a number of changes made necessary by changes in the tax legislation. This year’s return is a bit unusual in that relatively few of those changes are of broad general application. Outlined are some that are of broad general application.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 2007, the federal government introduced the EcoENERGY Retrofit program, which provided homeowners who made changes to their homes to make them more energy efficient with grants of up to $5,000 per property to help offset the cost of those changes. The program, originally scheduled to end on March 31, 2011, was extended in the 2011 federal Budget, to be available between June 6, 2011 and March 31, 2012. The program has now (as of January 28) been brought to an early end.]]></description>
