Tax season is stressful, especially for creative freelancers like artists, musicians, performers, and others.

You don’t have to go through this alone. Join us and Artbooks tax preparer Matthew Bailey for our yearly Power Hour: Taxes for Artists workshop.

Launched over 30 years ago as Canada’s first taxpreparers dedicated to artists and creative entrepreneurs’ unique financial needs, Artbooks provides tax preparation and consultation for sole proprietors/freelancers with a focus on the arts.

During this session, Matthew will give an overview of the changes to the tax code as well as what freelance artists should collect and track throughout the year, how to prepare for tax season, GST/HST applies to you, bookkeeping software options and much more.

So come prepared with all your questions, and make sure you are ready, both for the year ahead and to file your taxes on time.
