Disgusting!

I was sent an over - payment from the CPP. Over at Softron around the corner the man told me he would be separating the years as it was a payment sent to an insurance company for a disability.

Revenue Canada does this on their own. He did do my 2013 tax return and applied an amount for having a renter. He did no adjustments for this. All in all he did my return and told me of all the work he had done which was a simple tax return for 2012.

A further adjustment still needs to be done. I'm not sure the man in charge remembers. I also had a DTC for 4 years which needed to be worked on; again Revenue Canada did this themselves. The Disability Credit still needs to be applied for 2009 which I was told would be done by them.

Hmm ... so far the work which was done was a simple tax return for 2013 at a cost of $378.00. I would rather not go back but since I have already payed for work to be done ( unless the gent.

comes up with some other reason other than what was agreed) for 2009 it has been a horrible experience with this man ( Chartered Accountant or not) maybe because I am a woman. I am not really sure why I have been given the run around.

Softron Discusting! conclusion

My original comment cut off. Anyways I was told that a lump some payment from CPP would be calculated by softron. It was not in fact this is done by Revenue Canada. The gent. did do my 2012 tax review as well as adding a renter. He said it would not be to my advantage to write anything off. All in all for 20 minutes of work and his constant staring at whatever ( maybe for not making his quota for the day) I was charged $378.00. I honestly think for whatever reasons he had as well as being a woman I was taken.

Got a different Refund that what they promised

I was expecting to get a refund of $2900 when I file my tax return with Softron. When the notice came in from Revenue Canada, I got $2,000.

I thought that Softron took my money and went to the head office. They Called Canada Revenue Agency right away and determined that I had failed to report one of my T slips. I had moved and I had completely forgot about that job.

The Softron staff were Friendly & Courteous even though I was rude because I thought that It was their fault.

Once they explained, I was Satisfied & Pleased. I have been going to them for years and they always take real good care of me.

I didn't lose the money to Softron but to CRA and this was the additional tax that I owed on income that I had not declared. Softron Tax gave me really good Service and I will continue to go back to them :grin

Racist owner (99%) hires punjabis,Thief of punjab

The owner so called Jake(jack *** of Punjab),a discrase to the honest people of punjab, i worked for him for six years at minimal pay and refusing to pay overtime for all the workers for all the years, if any one complain will be fired, he always press on gouging tax preparation fees, he worship the dollar has disrespect to even members of his own family, has foul language irrogant attitude, he is amastermind of tricks and khaning.I urge all ex workers to file a law suit to a labour lawyer and sign a petition against his company, he also accuses any worker of stealing his customers.

Softron is a reputable company with over 30 years in the Tax preparation Business. CRA audits all companies on a regular Basis.

They have complied with all Tax rules & Labour Rules for the past 30 years and that is why they continue to be in Business.

You have failed to mention that you are an ex employee of Softron

who was also running a competing tax business while being employed by Softron.

:sigh

You should be ashamed of yourself that you would disrespect a company that gave you such a great opportunity in your Life.

Govern yourself as a professional. :cry

Supreme Court clears way for employees’ overtime suits against banks

A pair of potentially massive class-action lawsuits filed on behalf of employees at two of Canada’s largest banks alleging that they were unfairly denied overtime pay are now set to go ahead, after the Supreme Court of Canada declined to hear appeals in the cases on Thursday.

The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and the Bank of Nova Scotia are facing lawsuits filed on behalf of thousands of employees alleging the banks improperly denied their workers hundreds of millions of dollars worth of overtime. The banks deny the allegations and argue they treat their employees fairly.Softron ontario coarsing their workers who are distinctly of one ethnic group to not admit denied overtime payment is a violation of labour laws and if the softron owner thinks his workers are not much different from joe fresh workers of bengladesh, then softron workers has to come forward to lay the facts and substantiate allegations, best proof is to bring your pay stubs and show the bitter fact.

I recently started working for Softron. Can't say much about Jake since I haven't interacted with him for long periods of time.

But for the time that I have seen him in action, he seems to really care about his clients. I've seen him make people's day, make them laugh, simply because they stepped into the office. This was all still during my training period (which was an outstanding experience, no doubt).

As for the complaint about the receipts. Yes it's true that we don't have official receipts, but then think about it again, which professional service does?

We are not selling products, we are selling services. And its really hard to put a price tag on these services. Therefore we charge based on the amount of work put in, and trust me, the prices are very reasonable for the lifetime guarantee that they promise their customers. And the 13% HST isn't kept with us.

Softron is a registered business, therefore we are required to pay the HST collected back to the government. So I'm not sure how you would get the idea that we steal from our clients.

On top of everything, Softron is probably one of the ONLY professional companies I have seen that is willing to hire individuals with no prior experience. And they make sure that you are fully trained before they put you in front of clients (which is both good for the new staff and the client). Otherwise it is extremely hard for new immigrants to find a job in their field here.

SO kudos to Softron for giving everyone equal opportunities!!

:D

I'm definitely happy about working with Softron for my co-op term!! :)

I used to go for Softron accounting service and the ACCOUNTANT (south Asian, not sure Punjabi or not) charged fee + 13% HST with no receipt !!!! and He requested I pay in CASH !!!

I am very sure he kept that 13% . When I asked for a receipt, he printed out a white A4 paper as a receipt to me but I found when I got home that it had not ref. number as a receipt should be.

It was just an ordinary print out, not an official receipt.

Can you imagine, if the accountant do this, what is going to happen to the tax and accounting work????

Do you really think that Revenue Canada would give them an EFiler number if they did not comply with HST, Payroll, Employer Health Tax, WSIB & Labour Laws. They have been in business for over 30 years.

Revenue Canada knows how many tax returns they file and audits the discounting on a yearly basis.

Please stop disrespecting a reputable company. :sigh

Discriminates against other races

The workers at Softron tax discriminate against different races they are all very rude. Not honest people at all the lady today actually told me that the lowest price they would ever charge for a tax return is $125 then I called square one location and the lady there told me $50 then I call head office and that lady told me $40 and asks me if I don't have anything better to do and that I'm just wasting mine and their time I thought that was very rude. They all stick together and discriminate against people and that's wrong half of them can't even speak properly and they want to give attitude to everyone but their kind. Softron tax is a very prejudiced company that needs to be shut down. People need to stop giving them their money. Go to H&R block where it's a multiracial environment we live in a multiracial country where it is against the law to discriminate against one another nobody is better than nobody. To think of it.... They discriminate and take people's money but yet if we were to stop going to them they wouldn't make any money and would have to shut down cause one kind alone isnt enough to stay in business if that's the game they want to play. We live in a multiracial world if you don't like it then leave.

These comments are ridiculous and unjustified. I have been going to them for years and I have dealt with Softron staff from all over the world.

Softron is a Canadian company compared to Block which is 100% American.

How could a Canadian Company with a multiracial & diverse work force Discriminate.

It just does not make sense. :( :zzz :eek :grin
