Membership Fees in the Canadian Tax Audit Protection Plan are based upon your particular sources of income, and the types of deductions and credits you claim in your Income Tax Return.
If you only sources of income are from employment or a pension, your 2007 Membership Fee will start at just under $20.
If you are self-employed, a farmer or fisherman, or earn rental income or significant investment income, your 2008 Membership Fees will start at just under $50.
Compare your Membership Fee to paying an initial retainer of $5,000 to hire a lawyer at the time your tax return is audited, plus the lawyer's ongoing hourly rate. By becoming a Member now, you are possibly saving yourself thousands - if not tens-of-thousands - of dollars in legal fees down the road.
