How This New Accounting Legislation Could Benefit You

Due to COVID-19, The Canada Revenue Agency has recognized electronic signatures for filing income tax returns. It’s a step in the right direction as it will allow accountants to adhere to the health unit and provincial guidelines concerning the pandemic.

Consequently, it will ensure documentation and tax forms are signed and submitted on a timely basis as it will avoid the delays associated with in-person signatures. 

Therefore, by taking advantage of this legislation, clients avoid traveling to an accountant’s office to meet face to face. By minimizing physical contact through social distancing, clients have the peace of mind that they are not risking their health.

Besides, the technology used to procure electronic signatures is entirely secure, and the information relayed is safely guarded. However, some individuals may not have access to the technology needed to perform electronic signatures or may need assistance.
