About This Course

Stay ahead of the curve with "Canadian Tax Update 2025," your essential guide to navigating the evolving Canadian tax landscape. Each year brings shifts, from headline-grabbing policy changes to subtle amendments that significantly impact taxpayers and advisors. This course goes beyond technical details, offering a comprehensive overview of the patterns and policy choices driving these changes, ensuring you understand the bigger picture.

Prepare for 2025 with confidence as we delve into critical updates and key considerations:

  • Explore amendments to charitable donations and the Homebuyer's Plan, including changes to deadlines and withdrawal limits.
  • Uncover the implications of digital platform reporting and short-term rental compliance, crucial for clients with sideline income or rental properties.
  • Review common pitfalls and areas of focus for the CRA, such as attribution rules, deemed dispositions, and interest deductibility.
  • Master the annual nuts and bolts updates, including changes to CPP/QPP contributions, RRSP and TFSA limits, and the basic personal amount.
  • Understand the simplified Voluntary Disclosure Program and its expanded eligibility.
  • Gain clarity on capital gains and the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), including the enduring 50% inclusion rate and the critical role of stock options and charitable donations in AMT calculations.

This course is designed to provide practical, relevant insights, framed to give you the confidence to advise your clients effectively throughout 2025. While presented early to ensure your preparedness, any subsequent announcements, particularly from the federal budget, will be covered in an addendum, keeping you fully up to date. Equip yourself with the knowledge to proactively guide your clients and ensure compliance in a dynamic tax environment.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
