Cantax - CCH Canadian

A breakthrough solution for processing
more returns and maximizing accuracy

Question: How do you get a shoebox to fit into a tax return?

Answer: You scan it.

Do you have clients who bring their shoebox of miscellaneous papers and expect you to complete their T1 return while they wait?

Even with organized clients, it can take hours to deal with all the slips and receipts that go into a T1.

Do you see the value in a solution that allows you to create a single file from all of client�s slips, receipts and other documents?

CCH iScan is a Web-based service to relieve your workload. You or a staff member scans T-slips and other source docs; in about an hour, we create a bookmarked PDF, with the data neatly organized into categories. Use the PDF for on-screen preparation, review, archival and post-assessment requests from the CRA . Instead of hundreds of bits of paper, you quickly have one, neat, on-screen record that�s quickly accessible whenever you need it.

How does CCH iScan work?

Use CCH iScan to process your T1 returns and watch it do most of the work for you.

If you opt for the Validation service, then tax data will be extracted from the scanned documents, and we�ll even perform the OCR data validation of these values. Then, one click imports the extracted data from the PDF into the correct fields in the T1.

The best part is you�ve freed up time in your office - time you can use for more profitable tasks. Done and done.

Get readily usable data, not just scans

CCH iScan automatically recognizes over 130 types of data and categorizes it into bookmarks in a PDF - organized and easy to find.

Plus, with the Validation service, the data from more than 20 slips and forms are validated and extracted for you to import directly to the T1 returns.
