Editorial Policy
Everything we publish about Canadian tax and accounting follows the same process. This page explains what that process is, so you can judge the content on more than its tone. It applies to every page EverStone CPA publishes.

Our editorial policy: where the information comes from
Canadian tax rules have a single authoritative source: the Canada Revenue Agency and the relevant federal or provincial legislation. Our guides are written from those primary sources — canada.ca, CRA guides and forms, and provincial government publications such as gov.bc.ca — rather than from other firms’ blog posts.
Every guide on this site carries a Sources section listing the primary references behind it, so you can check any claim yourself rather than taking ours on faith.
How we handle numbers
Rates, thresholds and dollar limits change — often annually, sometimes mid-year. We try to keep hard figures to a minimum and explain the underlying rule instead, because the rule usually outlasts the number. The pages where a figure is the point — the tax updates and the CRA forms reference — carry the source link beside the number for exactly that reason.
Where we do state a figure, we name the tax year it applies to. If a figure on this site is time-sensitive or we are still confirming it against updated CRA tables, we say so on the page rather than presenting it as settled. We would rather flag an uncertainty than have you rely on a stale number.
How often we update
Each guide shows the month it was last updated. We revisit tax content when the underlying rules change — typically after a federal budget, at the start of a new tax year, or when the CRA revises a published guide or form. Anything with a date attached to it is listed on the deadline reference, which is checked on the same cycle. Pages that are materially out of date are corrected or removed rather than left up.
What we don’t do
- We do not accept payment, affiliate commission or sponsorship in exchange for coverage or placement. Nothing on this site is advertising dressed as a guide.
- We do not publish testimonials, ratings or client outcomes we cannot substantiate. Our Google rating is shown as it stands, not curated.
- We do not publish comparisons that rank other accounting firms.
This is information, not advice
Our guides are general information for Canadian business owners. They are not tax, legal or accounting advice, they do not create a client relationship, and they cannot account for the specifics of your situation. Tax outcomes turn on details — your structure, your province, your year-end, your other income. Before you act on anything you read here, talk to a CPA about your own circumstances.
Found an error?
We would genuinely rather know. If something on this site is wrong, out of date or unclear, email info@everstonecpa.com. The phone number is (604) 832-1743. We correct confirmed errors promptly and update the page’s revision date when we do.
Quick answer: Content here is written and reviewed by a Chartered Professional Accountant, sourced to canada.ca, the provincial tax authorities and the legislation itself, and each guide carries the month it was last reviewed. Tax updates say whether a change is law yet or still proposed. Report an error and the page is corrected rather than quietly left.
