Your team is using AI. Do you know what data they're feeding it? Canada's Privacy Commissioner: AI use among Canadian businesses jumped from 6% to 16% in 2 years โ mostly research & drafting. The risk isn't the AI. It's not knowing whose account it is, or who reviews it first.
The Number: 14%. That is the new locked-in rate for the lowest federal tax bracket, down from 15%, under CRA is newly indexed 2026 brackets. The tax-free Basic Personal Amount is now $16,452. Owner-managers: revisit your salary/dividend split before year-end tax planning.
MAIN POST (no link): Government contracts are opening up. Are your books ready?
New rules just made it easier to bid on federal contracts. But they pay after delivery: net 30/60/90.
Fix: forecast the working capital gap before you bid, get CRA docs and books contract-ready now.

๐ฎ CRA changes hit this month, not 1. One decides if you can log into BRO at all. One decides if your payroll math is right โ B.C.'s rate just moved to 5.60%. Test your CRA sign-in today. Check your last payroll run against the new July tables. The software doesn't own either.
