Filing Income Tax Returns


 In Quebec, we have to pay two types of taxes: (1) federal tax and (2) Quebec tax. The taxation year is: 1st January-31st December and the deadline to file tax returns is the 30th of April each year.

There is a Quebec tax form and a federal tax form given below. These forms will be given to you by your employer mentioning your tax details. 

  • T4/T4A/RL-1
  • REL 31

First-time tax filers for Quebec should send the form by mail whereas first-time federal tax forms could be filled and submitted online. From the second year and onwards Quebec tax returns could also be filed online. 

If you are getting any remuneration for french classes, you get a receipt from the school and you have to declare it. However, this remuneration is tax-exempt. 

Any income you are earning, you should have to declare it.

If you bring money while coming to Canada, you don't need to pay tax.

You don't need to pay tax if your family member sends you some money.

Get slips from the dispensary of your medical expenses and mention them in the tax returns. The only expense that was not covered by the medical insurance provider will be filed for the expense. 

Get a letter from the landlord for the tax declaration. 

If you have a tax exemption, you still need to file the tax, and revenue Quebec will return it to you.

If your spouse is not working, prepare a tax return mentioning her dependence on you, it will give you some credits. You can use some credit the amount is around 13000$. In tax returns, we can claim 50% of the credit amount when we file tax returns. 

If you are working from home and your employer gives you a letter that this person is working from home, then you can declare home-office expenses i.e., office rent, internet charges, etc. Even if your employer doesn't give you the letter, you can still claim home office expenses.

If you are living in Quebec at the end of December, you have to pay tax in Quebec. Tax returns depend on the place where you are living at the end of the year. 

It's better to take help from any tax filing organization to fill in tax returns accurately. 


P. S. It's not an expert opinion, the above notes are based on attending a lecture with the taxation expert.

Guidelines for Effective Academic Writing

 Here are some guidelines for effective academic writing. It is based on my own experience writing for computer science journals and conferences.  Don't use 'the' with an abbreviation. Use active tenses unless a passive is extremely necessary. Use the same form of the verb (present/past) when describing related work and be consistent with it throughout the manuscript. Don't use the before plurals. Don't use etc when including a list of items. Never use the word 'suggest' when referring to the previous work. The word 'report' could be a better option.  Don't use 's with an abbreviation, for example, SDN's capability could be written as SDN capability. Don't use the word "paradigm" use only when it makes sense. Always use "," after then, however, thus, etc. Be consistent, use the same form of "TENSE, i.e., PAST or PRESENT" in the whole section. Do not use "the", "a" ...in front of single

Protecting IT Infrastructure: Key Takeaways from the CrowdStrike Update Incident

Image
  The Microsoft outage, linked to CrowdStrike’s Falcon Sensor, led to 'Blue Screen of Death' errors and widespread service disruptions in various industries, including hospitals, banks, airlines, emergency services, and supermarkets. In the recent incident, an update to CrowdStrike's Falcon product caused significant disruptions globally. Falcon is an endpoint detection and response (EDR) solution that monitors traffic passing through systems to protect against malicious files, viruses, and malware, relying on cloud technology to secure devices on corporate networks (CrowdStrike, 2024). The problem arose when an update to the Falcon software triggered an endless loop of the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) on many Windows machines (Microsoft, 2024). This catastrophic failure occurred because the Falcon software talks directly to the Windows kernel for greater speed and protection. The update contained a bug that led to a kernel-level error, causing the machines to crash and beco
