What changed, what slipped through the cracks, and how it affected taxpayers.
Exclusive insights on tax, succession, and wealth planning, straight from the Advisors Table.
This is your 2025 tax wrap! It was a year of turbulence for Canadian taxpayers, business owners, and advisors as CRA accelerated its push to fully digital operations — faster than many Canadians could adapt. On top of that, the lifetime capital gains exemption increase and the proposed jump in the capital gains rate (which eventually fell through) sparked confusion and rushed planning, exposing cracks in how policies were actually implemented.
This episode takes a step back to explore what actually happened, the gaps in execution, and the consequences for Canadians navigating this fast-changing landscape.
