Description :
When economic conditions are turned upside down, Canadians turn to their most trusted tax professional ? Evelyn Jacks!

Just a short time ago the stock market was breaking all-time high records. Today no one can predict tomorrow?s position. Companies that were building empires are now selling off portions at cut-rate prices. And folks who thought they had secure positions in established companies are being laid-off by the thousands.

During these challenging times, Canadians are looking for a new perspective on their personal financial planning. They need new tactics and long-term strategies to help them get back on track.

Evelyn Jacks, best-selling tax author, will help Canadians take advantage of all the tax breaks when they need them the most. In her trademark easy-to-read style, she?ll show Canadians how to:

Maximize the benefit of their severance packages

Make wise decisions during times of fluctuating incomes

Put retirement plans back on track

Use family tax provisions to their maximum advantage

Offset losses incurred on the disposition of assets

Identify and invest tax savings for rapid growth

Using real-life scenarios to set the stage, Jacks presents the problem, the alternatives and offers a two-part plan for short- and long-term gains to the situations encountered in today?s uncertain economic times. All Canadians can benefit from her tax planning insights and advice.
