Terms of Use
Last updated: 2026-04-19
These Terms govern your use of CATaxTools (catax.tools, "the Site"). By accessing or
using the Site you agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
1. What we provide
CATaxTools is a collection of free tax calculators and explanatory content relating to Canadian federal and provincial taxation. Calculations run in your browser using published CRA and provincial/territorial tax-agency rates. We may update, withdraw, or modify calculators and content at any time without notice.
2. Not tax advice
All content and calculator output is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not tax, legal, accounting, or financial advice, and does not create any adviser–client relationship.
Tax rules change and individual circumstances vary. Before relying on any figure, verify it against the Canada Revenue Agency, your provincial tax agency, or a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA).
3. No warranty of accuracy
While we take reasonable care to reflect published CRA and provincial rates correctly, we make no warranty that the Site, its calculations, or its content are accurate, complete, current, or fit for any particular purpose. Where an edge case is ambiguous, the calculator uses a documented assumption stated in the Methodology.
4. Intellectual property
All text, design, code, and data compilations on the Site are owned by or licensed to CATaxTools and are protected by Canadian copyright. You may view and print pages for personal, non-commercial use. You may not:
- republish content on another website;
- scrape, mirror, or systematically extract the calculators or their output;
- sell, sub-license, or commercially exploit any part of the Site; or
- remove copyright, trade-mark, or attribution notices.
CRA publications referenced from the Site are Crown copyright and reproduced in accordance with the Open Government Licence – Canada.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the Site for any unlawful purpose;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access, probe for vulnerabilities, or disrupt service availability;
- introduce malware, excessive automated traffic, or scraping in breach of section 4.
6. Third-party links and ads
The Site links to third-party websites and displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. We do not control and are not responsible for those third parties' content, accuracy, or data handling.
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, CATaxTools and its operator are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss (including lost tax refunds, penalties, interest, or business loss) arising from reliance on the Site. Your sole remedy if you are dissatisfied is to stop using the Site. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
8. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates the most recent revision. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance.
9. Governing law
These Terms and any dispute arising out of them are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, save that consumers resident in other Canadian provinces may bring proceedings in their home jurisdiction where required by local consumer-protection law.
