What Is Included in a T.U.A Tax Consultation?
Paid one-on-one video call, phone call, or in person if required (for example, to drop off large volumes of documents) with a Canadian tax professional dedicated to your specific situation. Before the call, you share relevant documents, CRA notices, or financial details so your accountant can prepare effectively.
Your consultation runs from 15 minutes up to a maximum of 45 minutes. The first 15 minutes are complimentary. Any time beyond 15 minutes, even by a single minute, is billed at $80. The maximum session length is 45 minutes.
When Should You Book a Consultation Instead of a Filing Service?
A consultation is the right service when you need a professional answer before you take action, rather than just needing a return filed. This is particularly valuable when you are facing complex choices or unexpected CRA contact.
Common situations include:
- Should I incorporate and what are the tax savings?
- I sold a rental property, what are the capital gains implications?
- What is the most tax-efficient way to draw income from my corporation?
- I filed my own return for three years, can a professional review them for errors?
- My spouse and I both work, how should we plan RRSP contributions?
How Does a T.U.A Tax Consultation Work?
You select your consultation type and preferred time through T.U.A's booking system and pay the consultation fee at booking. After booking, you receive pre-call instructions for sharing documents or background information securely.
Consultations are available via phone call, video call, or in person if required (for example, to drop off large volumes of documents). Your accountant leads the session, addresses your specific questions with reference to your actual situation, and provides clear guidance and next steps.
A one-hour consultation with a CPA firm in Canada typically costs $300 to $500. T.U.A's professional video consultations deliver the same quality of advice at a fraction of the cost, because our model is built for accessibility, not exclusivity.
What Tax Questions Can You Ask in a Consultation?
- What should I do with a CRA letter asking me to verify income or expenses?
- Should I incorporate and what are the tax savings?
- I sold a rental property, what are the capital gains implications?
- I have US income, how is it taxed in Canada?
- What is the most tax-efficient way to draw income from my corporation?
- I filed my own return for three years, can a professional review them for errors?
- My spouse and I both work, how should we plan RRSP contributions?
Any topic within the scope of Canadian tax law is covered during your consultation.
What Is the Difference Between a Consultation and T.U.A's Filing Service?
Our filing service handles the complete return, your accountant and our tax software prepare and file everything required to meet your compliance obligations. A consultation is a professional advisory session providing guidance, answers, and a clear action plan without filing.
Some clients start with a consultation to understand their obligations before engaging the filing service. Others use consultations year-round for specific planning questions. Both services are available separately or together, depending on what you need.
What to Expect From Your T.U.A Consultation
After booking, you receive a confirmation with a pre-call questionnaire asking for a brief description of your question and a request to upload any relevant documents. Your accountant reviews this before the call so the session starts focused. The video call runs for the booked session length.
During the session, our accountants and our tax software assist in addressing your questions directly, working through shared documents, and providing specific guidance with clear next steps. A written summary of key points is provided after the call. If the consultation reveals a need for return filing, such as unfiled years or complex income, T.U.A can transition you to the appropriate filing service.
