Selective Income Tax

Selective Income Tax works out of 19309 117B Avenue, on one of the quieter streets just off the main commercial stretch of Pitt Meadows. The name says plainly what the business does: personal and small business tax preparation, the kind of straightforward T1 and T2 work that most households and one or two person operations need once a year rather than an ongoing bookkeeping relationship. That narrower focus tends to suit people who keep their own records through the year and just need someone qualified to file correctly and catch the deductions and credits they might miss on their own.

A tax specific shop like this fills a real gap between the big national chains on Lougheed Highway and the full service accounting firms that charge more for services many filers do not need. For a self employed contractor, a retiree, or a family with a straightforward return, walking a few blocks to 117B Avenue instead of booking with a large chain can mean more direct answers and less turnover in who actually looks at the file. As with most smaller tax preparation businesses in town, current hours, pricing, and whether appointments are required through the year or only during tax season are best confirmed with a call, since that kind of detail is not always kept current online. Anyone with a more complicated return involving rental income, self employment, or multiple provinces should ask up front whether Selective Income Tax handles that level of complexity before booking.
