Personal tax returns for Scarborough residents
Scarborough returns often involve more than one income source. Many households rent out a basement unit, run a side business or drive for a rideshare or delivery app, students at the University of Toronto Scarborough and Centennial College file with tuition slips, and newcomers file their first Canadian return. We prepare returns that report each source properly and claim the Ontario credits families often miss.
I’m Wajahat Ajmal, CPA, FCCA. T-Ledgers is a CPA-led accounting firm practising since 2020. We work with Scarborough clients by phone, video and email. If you’d rather meet in person, our Etobicoke office at 102-89 Skyway Ave is in the City of Toronto, and we also have an office in Mississauga, both by appointment.

How we work with Scarborough clients
Families with a basement tenant often under-claim or over-claim expenses. We split shared costs by the rented share of the home, keep the calculation on file and usually avoid claiming CCA on the house, so the principal residence exemption isn’t put at risk when you sell.
Newcomers get their arrival date, world income before arrival and benefit applications handled on their first return. Self-employed drivers and side businesses get a T2125 with vehicle and phone costs, and HST reconciled to the platform’s annual summary.
For families, filing on time is what keeps benefits flowing. The Canada child benefit, the GST/HST credit and the Ontario Trillium Benefit are all worked out from the return, and for the child benefit both spouses or partners must file, even if one had no income.
