As our community works to slow the spread of the Coronavirus / COVID-19, we at RGH are suspending face-to-face meetings in our office with clients to minimize social contact. All meetings will be by phone or video conference.
As we move further into tax season, we are asking clients, where possible, to send their tax documents though our online service, e-Courier. A link to e-Courier is on our website here and at the bottom of our emails. If you feel you must drop off your tax information in person, we will have a “drop-off box” just inside our office door. We ask that when you drop off the information please limit your interaction with our staff. If you feel there is information requiring further discussion, please send an email or set up a call with one of our staff.
In order to streamline our process and to minimize social contact, we will send all corporate year-end and T1 personal tax documents, including e-file authorizations, via e-Courier. We are asking clients to return these authorizations in the same manner. Other options are to place it in our “drop-off box” at our office or fax it to 902-462-5900.
Once the concern for the Coronavirus has passed, we will reach out to clients who have indicated they would like to have a face-to-face meeting to review their file. If you would like to discuss your return earlier, we can arrange a conference call. Please note we will not be filing any tax returns without the signed authorization.
We thank you for co-operation as we all work together as a community to slow the spread of this illness. We hope these measures will be short term but we will keep you updated via email.
Thank you!
