Congratulations To All University and College Graduates

Well, folks! One of my 'children' has gone and done it! She graduated University of Guelph. Got her Honours Degree in Science -- Earth Sciences to be exact. Loaded my small family in the car early this morning to get to the ceremony on time and headed out.

We had great seats. The Piper led the faculty in, followed by the graduates of that particular day/time slot. The first thing noticed was, "where are all the guys"? Not many in this time slot. Parents all around us and it was a shame that we were only allowed 3 guests. Some families brought more, of course.

The Chancellor of UofG is Pamela Wallen. What a wonderful speaker. She spoke from the heart. Her words tore at my heart-strings. The grads were infatuated with her words. Her welcome was short, too short.

As the grads started to line up to get their papers and congratulations, we parents jumped up for the photo ops. There were so many smiles. These young adults worked so hard for four years for this special moment. I remember my hand shaking at times when I was signing checks or transferring money for those "ask-cidentals". And today, I found out that it was all worth it.

These young people are the future. They are the ones that are willing to take chances. They are the ones that will be heads of companies and leaders of the world. As I look at them, I wonder - when did they grow up.

I remember my daughter finishing elementary school. Then four years of secondary just flew by. It was like yesterday when I dropped her off for first year university. The dorm room was 'cozy'. She had the basic necessities. She needed no more. She would tell me about the Friday nite movie nights - she was the only one in her quad with a small tv. Someone would bring the popcorn. Someone would bring the 'refreshments'. What a great group of co-ed roomies she had. And today, she walked down the aisle in her black robe and gold hood.

So, CONGRATULATIONS, to all who have passed through the hallowed halls of their post-secondary institutions. May I wish all of you the strength to face what is yet to come! Know that you have the support of your families to continue your journey. You can depend on the friendships that you have developed in these few short years.

Tax Rules For The Self-Employed

There are many of us that have decided to leave the 9 - 5 jobs, start a business and become our own bosses. There are deadlins and rules that we must follow and thanks to John Scholl, some of those questions are answered here in this article.

Self-employed? You are different when it comes to tax deadlines and rules. As a self-employed person, there are key differences in when and how you should pay your taxes – and knowing those differences can bring some significant tax savings. Here is what you need to know.

Tax deadlines

Most Canadians must file their personal tax return by April 30 -- yours is due on June 15.
- Tax owing on the personal tax return must be paid by the April 30 deadline. If the return is not filed by June 15, interest and penalties will apply.
- Generally, if you qualify as ‘self-employed’ for tax purposes, you are required to pay taxes in instalments based on your reported income in the previous taxation year. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will send you a notice with the amounts you have to pay. Instalment payments for 2010 are due March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15. If you don’t pay by the due dates, you may face instalment interest and penalties. You can pay by selecting one of three methods:
1. The schedule set out in the instalment payment notice you will receive from the
Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
2. Last year’s tax payable.
3. The estimated tax payable for the current year.

Tax tips

You may qualify for these deductions:
- Home office – if you use your home office as your principal place of business, you may be able to claim a portion of your housing costs including rent (if you are a tenant),mortgage interest, property taxes, utilities and home insurance.
- Capital assets – the furniture and equipment acquired for your business can be written off gradually by claiming the capital cost allowance (CCA) each year.
- Business expenses – claim reasonable expenses related to earning your income.
- Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax – if you charge these taxes to your clients/customers and remit them to the Canada Revenue Agency, you’re entitled to
GST/HST refund on business purchases.
- Health and/or Dental Insurance Premiums – these may be deductible for you and your family and deducting them as a business expense usually delivers a better tax benefit
than claiming them as a medical expense. The reimbursement of medical and dental expenses would still be received tax-free!

New: Employment Insurance (EI) benefits

- Beginning in January 2011, self-employed Canadians have the option to access EI benefits in four categories – maternity, parental, sickness and compassionate care
benefits. Twelve months of EI premiums must be made in order to qualify for any benefits but for the first year, if contributions start by April 2010, payments can start January 2011. Remember once in the program, premiums are required for life. The choice to participate in the EI program depends on your personal circumstances.

There are many other tax savings strategies available to self-employed persons. Your professional advisor can help you identify the ones that will work best for you – and make sure you save on interest and penalties by hitting all your tax deadlines.
