Tax planning isn't just something to think about when it's time to file your return. The decisions you make throughout the year can have a meaningful impact on how much of your money you ultimately keep.
In this episode of CIBC Smart Advice, host Carissa Lucreziano sits down with CIBC tax expert Jamie Golombek to explore practical tax strategies Canadians can consider at different stages of their financial lives.
Jamie shares how understanding your tax rate can help you make more informed decisions about your money, uncover opportunities you may be overlooking and plan more effectively for the future.
