How does AvanTax Filing Services compare to processing tax slips in-house? Our volume lets us reduce processing, printing and postage costs for our clients and our decades of experience in Canadian tax processing let us do the job right.

Our clients save money and reduce stress when they subcontract their data processing to us. Give yourself a break and let us do the same for you.

A shortened version of the T2200 has been released by Canada Reveue Agency to facilitate reporting expenses incurred while working from home because of COVID-19; AvanTax Filing Services has been updated to include the new T2200S form.

"You're the best, thanks for all your help! I’ll be in touch again next year, please keep me on your mailing list."

"You sent me the correction already? So that's why that name seemed familiar to me! Yes, you overachieved on this one. Thanks!"

"Thank you so much for your speedy and efficient service. Please keep us on your mailing list for next year!! Thanks again, have a great weekend and a Happy Easter!"

"Thank you for the quick turnaround. This has been a great experience. I am going to recommend that we use your services in the future."

"Thank you for completing the revisions so quickly. They look great, go ahead and file them with CRA."

"Thank you for the speedy corrections! Yes, please send me a confirmation email once you’ve heard that the letters have been mailed out."

"We were very satisfied with your services last year in assisting to get our T4As filed timely for our Canadian consultants and we would like to use your services again. If you send me the current template I will begin getting it populated and back over to you ASAP."

"A tip of the hat to AvanTax eForms and AvanTax Filing Service's print/mail service, this was likely my most unruffled year of tax slip processing, and I look forward to repeating the process again with both for next year's tax slips."

"Our team was working remotely and we could not figure out how to clear the [XML] errors we received. That is what caused me to engage your firm. I wish I'd found your service 3 years ago."
