Self-Employed? Side Jobs? Subcontracting? We’ve Got You.

Getting laid off. Picking up odd jobs. Running your own crew.
If you’re working in the trades, you know the hustle—and so do we.

At Ask-Her® Tax, we specialize in helping tradespeople and subcontractors file with confidence. Whether you're newly self-employed or balancing multiple income streams, we provide judgment-free support that works as hard as you do.

Here’s how we help tradespeople navigate taxes, deductions, and CRA requirements—without the stress.

1. Support for All Kinds of Trade Work

Whether you're laying tile, framing houses, doing HVAC installs, or managing a small crew of contractors—your tax needs are different than a 9-to-5 employee’s.

We help with:

• Self-employment income & T2125 reporting

• Subcontractor and side-gig tax filing

• CRA business number registration

• GST/HST setup and filings

• Deductible expense tracking (tools, truck, fuel, safety gear)

Tip: Keeping good records throughout the year makes tax season way easier—and can save you hundreds (or thousands) in missed write-offs.

2. Recently Laid Off? You Still Need to File

If you were laid off and received EI, severance, or back pay—those need to be reported properly.

We walk you through:

• How to file mixed income (employment + EI + contract)

• What to expect if you worked multiple jobs or changed status mid-year

• How to stay on top of CRA obligations if you're planning to start your own business

3. No Judgment. Just Real Help.

Didn’t keep every receipt? Started late in the year? Feeling overwhelmed?

You’re not alone—and we’re not here to judge.

Ask-Her® Tax works with:

• Journeypersons and apprentices

• Subcontractors working under a crew lead

• Side-hustlers and seasonal tradespeople

• Small teams looking to grow and stay organized

4. We Understand the Trades

We know the challenges that come with working on site, chasing invoices, and staying organized through a busy season. That’s why we offer culturally aware, respectful support designed to meet you where you are.

No stress. No jargon. Just straightforward guidance that helps you stay compliant and keep more of what you earn.

Let’s Make Tax Season Simple

You already work hard on the job—filing your taxes shouldn’t feel like another full-time task. Let us handle the forms, receipts, and CRA rules so you can focus on the work that matters.
