At Shimmerman Penn, our top priority is the health and well-being of our staff, clients and contacts as the COVID-19 outbreak continues. We are following the guidance of Toronto Public Health, Public Health Ontario and Health Canada; and we are:

• Working from home. Our office is temporarily closed, and we are all working from home. We continue to work with clients, colleagues and contacts remotely to ensure the same level of client service that you have come to expect from us.

• Increasing our sanitation procedures at our office. We have been regularly disinfecting the reception area and meeting rooms and we intend to completely clean/disinfect the office before we return to work.

• Committed to our clients. While things are changing day to day, we are still planning for and working toward the current tax season deadlines. If and when CRA announces any changes to deadlines or policies in response to COVID-19, we will update you accordingly. Our online client portal is the best way to send us your documentation; and our online tax tools are updated for the 2020 personal tax season.

We will continue to work together to ensure that everyone remains healthy, and that your needs are met. If you have any questions, please reach out to your usual Shimmerman Penn contact.

Sincerely,

The Partners of Shimmerman Penn
