On March 11, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET, York University will host an interactive webinar, Level Up: How to File Your Taxes, featuring YorkU alumnus Gurjot Mann, CPA (BCom ’20), Senior Accountant at Bateman MacKay LLP.

We are proud to see Gurjot return to his alma mater to support students and recent graduates as they navigate their first tax filings with clarity and confidence.

What Attendees Will Learn

This practical session is designed to equip first-time filers with a clear understanding of the fundamentals, including:

  • How the Canadian tax system works, including the purpose of a tax return and key tax rates

  • Differences between salary and investment income, and how each impacts your return

  • Common tax slips for new graduates such as T3, T4, T5, T2202A, and T4RSP

  • Important deadlines and available filing options

  • Credits and deductions that can reduce taxes, particularly for students and recent graduates

  • Foundational tax planning strategies to consider early in your career

  • Popular tax software tools that simplify the filing process

The goal is straightforward: replace uncertainty with practical knowledge that empowers students to take control of their financial responsibilities.

Why This Matters

At Bateman MacKay LLP, we believe accounting expertise carries a responsibility beyond compliance. It is about equipping individuals and business owners with the insight they need to make informed decisions.

Supporting students at the start of their careers aligns with our broader commitment to education, financial literacy, and long-term planning. Early understanding of the tax system can shape better financial habits for years to come.

Who Should Register

York University students and other first-time filers with simple tax returns are encouraged to register and attend. If you are considering filing on your own but are unsure where to begin, this session will provide the clarity and structure you need.
