Income Tax Specialist
I worked for 33 years with the CRA. In particular, I worked for the Income Tax Rulings Directorate as an income tax specialist in the area of personal trusts, corporate financing, corporate reorganizations, renewable energy and the tax incentives for the natural resources industry. I have issued numerous advance income tax rulings on loss consolidations, butterfly reorganizations, internal reorganizations, trust and partnership reorganizations. I was involved in identifying avoidance transactions and working with the Department of Finance in drafting legislative amendments to the Income Tax Act. Since my retirement, I have been working as a part-time tax consultant, an Adjunct professor of Corporate Taxation and have recorded a training video on the Disability Tax Credit. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with other CPAs.
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.
