The tax season is one of the predictably stressful periods for some Canadian households. You need to get ready with property office supplies. The taxman never forgets and will always come to collect especially if you are owing. To know your tax status, you will need to file your taxes.. on time. And on time means you have to file your preceding years’ taxes before April 30.
If you file late and are owing, you will pay a penalty on the late payments. But if you are not owing and file late, there are no penalty payments. But filing late will cause a delay in the refunds that you might receive. It also has an effect on when the government is able to calculate your income range that determines the benefits you will receive such as the Childcare benefit (CCB).
When you get down to the business of filling the taxes, you must be prepared with the required office supplies if you are filing taxes via the traditional method of printing off the tax forms and filling it out by hand. Filling in your tax form requires office supplies that will keep your work organized and easy to retrieve.
Tax Season Office Supplies – File Folder
Usually, one of the first pieces of office supplies you will require at hand before filing your taxes is the file folder. This is the storage device for all your printed receipts, documents and tax forms that assist in arranging the documents in an orderly manner. It is advisable you get a sturdy file folder like the Geo® Frosted Snap Button Side Opening Plastic Document Envelope from 123ink.ca as the Canadian government requires you keep all supporting documents related to your tax filing for a minimum of 6 years.
