#AskMelanie: Should I make personal income tax installments suggested by CRA?

Based on your income tax returns filed for the past couple of years, if you owed more than $3,000 in this past taxation year, you may need to make installments towards the coming taxation year.   Is that always the case ? Nope.  Something on this year’s tax return may not re-occur in the next taxation year (for example the sale of a property) and so, your income may, in fact, be lower this coming year.  You always have the option of calculating your own installments and should consult with your accountant.
