I'm Jon McInnis, a Calgary-based tax professional with more than 15 years of experience in Canadian personal, corporate and small business tax. Before moving into public practice, I worked as a representative with the Canada Revenue Agency. That taught me how the CRA actually reviews returns, and why so many people miss credits they're entitled to.
Jon the Tax Guy is where I turn CRA rules into short, plain-English tips. Many videos come with a free guide on this site, so you can go from "huh, I didn't know that" to having the actual numbers in front of you.

Off the clock
I play trumpet with the Calgary Stampede Band of Outriders and the Westwinds Music Society jazz ensemble, and I often serve as treasurer for local non-profits.
