Workshop Description

A workshop for authors who may have multiple income streams, including book royalties, speaking fees, and regular T4 income. What should they be doing throughout the year to make filing taxes easier? How can they reduce taxes owed? When do they need to register for an HST number? Authors like to think of themselves as artists, but having a writing career is a business, so what do they need to know to run their business efficiently with respect to taxes?

This workshop demystifies tax season for authors and provides practical advice and tools that will help you feel equipped and prepared when it’s time to file your taxes. It will specifically address the Canadian tax system for Canadian authors.

Registration opens October 17.

A recording of this workshop will be made available on YouTube a week after the event. Please register for the workshop to receive an email with the YouTube link once it becomes available.
