I want to assure you that we are still open for business. We prepared extensively to ensure that all of our staff are able to be productive from their own homes and we have tested this extensively. Direct telephone numbers remain connected, email service is unaffected and all of our programs and resources are fully operational.
As of March 19, 2020, some of our staff will be shifting to remote work from time to time. We do not expect this to impact our services to you. Our front door will be locked but most business hours there will be someone in the building.
Please consider emailing your information or calling ahead before you visit us.
Tax deadlines:
Personal taxes have been moved to June 1
Trust returns are now due May 1
Corporate taxes and personal tax balances due after March 18, 2020 have been deferred to August 31 without interest or penalty.
In order to help us continue to serve you, we have the following recommendations:
- Please scan all necessary support documentation to us. If you have yet to submit your initial personal tax package, please scan or send pictures of the supporting documentation to personaltax@ribeyre.ca.
- We have cancelled in person meetings and have shifted to an online meeting product. If you have a meeting previously scheduled, our staff will be in touch with information as to how to do this.
- We now accept Interac E-Transfers for Payment. Our address for payment is tribeyre@ribeyre.ca. There is no security questions required.
- For our proprietorship clients: Don’t scan individual business expense receipts. Give us a summary total instead. Talk to your preparer about simple ways to make this work for you.
- Printing and delivery of paper copies of products may be delayed in the future. As of today we are still producing paper but this may change. Digital copy production will not be impacted.
