Disclaimer

1. General Information Only

The content provided by YourTaxPilot, including all AI-generated responses, blog posts, and informational materials, is intended for general informational purposes only. This information is designed to help Canadian taxpayers better understand tax concepts and CRA guidelines, but it is not tailored to your specific financial situation.

2. Not a Substitute for Professional Advice

YourTaxPilot does not replace the services of a qualified tax professional. Before making any tax-related decisions, filing your tax return, or claiming deductions, you should consult with a:

• Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA)
• Licensed tax preparer
• Tax lawyer (for complex legal matters)
• Financial advisor (for investment-related tax questions)

When You Should Definitely Consult a Professional

While YourTaxPilot can help with general tax questions, certain situations require professional guidance. Talk to a qualified professional if you are dealing with:

• CRA audits or reviews: If the CRA is auditing or reviewing your return, get professional help immediately
• Large reassessments: If you've received a notice of reassessment with significant amounts owing
• Formal disputes or objections: Filing a notice of objection or appealing a CRA decision
• Complex business structures: Incorporating, reorganizing, or winding down a business
• Estate planning and trusts: Tax planning related to inheritance, trusts, or estate administration
• International tax issues: Cross-border income, foreign property reporting, or tax treaties
• Tax fraud concerns: If you suspect errors in past filings that need correction via the Voluntary Disclosures Program

3. AI Limitations

Responses are generated by artificial intelligence trained on Canadian tax law and CRA guidelines. While we strive for accuracy, AI can make errors. Specifically:

• AI can make mistakes or provide incomplete information
• The AI may not reflect the most recent changes to tax law or CRA policies
• Responses are based on general rules and may not account for all exceptions or edge cases
• The AI cannot access or review your actual tax documents, CRA records, or financial accounts
• AI may occasionally generate plausible-sounding but incorrect information

Always double-check important details with official CRA resources or a qualified tax professional.

4. No Guarantee of Accuracy

We make no representations or warranties about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of any information provided by the Service. Canadian tax law is complex and changes frequently. Information that is accurate today may not be accurate tomorrow.

5. Not a Tax Filing Service

YourTaxPilot does not prepare, review, sign, or file tax returns on your behalf. The Service provides information to help you understand tax concepts — it is an educational tool, not a tax preparation service. If you need your taxes filed, please use a licensed tax preparer or certified tax software.

6. Liability

You acknowledge and agree that:

• Any reliance on information provided by YourTaxPilot is at your own risk
• YourTaxPilot is not liable for any errors, omissions, or losses resulting from the use of the Service
• You are solely responsible for your tax filing decisions and any consequences thereof
• If you incur penalties, interest, or additional taxes as a result of following information from the Service, we bear no responsibility

7. CRA and Government Sources

For the most authoritative and up-to-date information, always refer to:

• Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)
• Income Tax Act (ITA)
• Your provincial tax authority

8. Provincial Variations

Canadian tax rules vary by province and territory. YourTaxPilot provides general Canadian tax information and may not account for all provincial differences, credits, or programs specific to your jurisdiction.

9. Updates to This Disclaimer

We may update this Disclaimer at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
