Winning the Tax Game 2004: A Year-Round Tax and Investment Guide for Canadians

Virginia Gillham is university librarian and archivist at Wilfrid
Laurier University library. She is also a judge of national and
international figure skating competions.

Tim Cestnick holds a CA designation from Deloitte & Touche and is
managing director of National Tax Services at AIC Ltd. He has written a
number of books on tax-related issues, including A Declaration of
Taxpayers Rights, The Tax Freedom Zone, and Winning the Estate Planning
Game.

As the title suggests, this volume advises not on strategies at the
time of tax return preparation, but on myriad decisions that you should
make throughout the year. The book begins with a 15-page summary of
recent changes in tax law. Nine chapters offer a total of 103 separate
tips on issues such as income splitting, maximizing childcare benefits,
an enormous range of deductions not widely understood, tax deferral
investments, and decision-making about taxable and non-taxable benefits.


Winning the Tax Game 2004 is jam-packed with practical, tax-saving
advice. The very readable text is supported by summary charts. Previous
editions of the book have been described by experts in the field as
“easily the best book of its kind in Canada,” “by far the best of
the Canadian tax guides,” and “really makes sense of the baffling
world of personal taxes.”
