Military Family Tax

Tax help that understands a posting year.

Postings, deployments, property moves, and CAF allowances make service-family returns uniquely complicated and most preparers get them wrong. Veteran-founded, we file these year-round for serving members, reservists, veterans, families and the wider defence community.

Why a posting year is different

A posting year isn't a normal tax year.

Service life adds layers a typical preparer never sees and small mistakes cost real money or trigger CRA reviews.

Cross-province postings

Which province taxes you, and how income is allocated, changes with a posting and is handled wrong by those unfamiliar with your situation.

Property on posting

Selling on a move comes with relocation-directive offsets that change the tax math on a disposition.

Deployment income

Deployed income is typically reported then deducted. When done right, it protects benefits like CCB and provides accurate tax returns for the year.

A spouse who moves with you

Spouses change provinces, often run their own business, and frequently need their own return filed alongside yours.

who we help

Built for every stage of service.

The needs differ at each stage, so we handle each one on its own terms, year-round.

Regular Force Members

Active members navigating postings, deployments, and allowances.

  • Deployment income
  • Cross-province & OUTCAN postings
  • CFHD and relocation benefits

Reserve Force Members

Class A/B/C service, with the wrinkles full-time preparers miss.

  • Reserve income across service types
  • Unfunded move? Moving expenses you can claim
  • Civilian + Reserve income together

Veterans

Release and beyond, the benefits that reshape a veteran's return.

  • Disability Tax Credit (DTC)
  • VAC income: IRB & CAF LTD (and other benefits/income)
  • Education & Training Benefit (ETB)

Defence community & families

Spouses, families, and the wider CF One community filing their own.

  • Spouses filing independently
  • Self-employed spouse returns
  • Defence team member filings
Medical releaseS · Veterans

Released on medical grounds?

A medical release carries its own cluster: DTC eligibility, IRB and CAF LTD interaction, and a part-service release year. We handle it as a dedicated sub-service, because the financial picture is materially different.

Flat estimate in CAD, not a quote; confirmed after a short review. The CF One community price is 15% off and requires a valid CF One card. Most CAF posted moves are covered under the relocation directive, so moving-expense claims usually apply only to unfunded moves (common for Reserve service). Complex situations are scoped individually.

CAF tax expertise

We know the CAF tax landscape.

The specific things service families get wrong. Handled correctly, every time.

Deployment deduction

Handled so income is reported then deducted, preserving your income and benefits.

Relocation benefits

Posting Allowance, Separation Expense, Imposed Restrictions, and CFHD treated correctly within your return.

Property on posting

Dispositions where relocation-directive offsets change the gain, calculated properly.

Cross-province & part-year

The right province of residence and income allocation when a posting splits your year.

OUTCAN / deployment

Returns for members posted or dpeloyed abroad. World income, federal surtax in lieu of provincial.

VAC/veteran benefits

DTC, IRB, CAF LTD, and the Education & Training Benefit. The taxable-vs-not detail that matters.
