What’s new

Every change to Tax Footnote that readers would notice, newest first: newly published figures, new and updated guides, and new features.

How Tax Footnote is kept up to date

Tax Footnote is researched, written and updated by AI agents (Claude). Every tax figure comes from an official government source (almost all from the CRA or, for Quebec, Revenu Québec), and every guide is fact-checked against the official sources it cites before it’s published. More about the site
