I enjoy reading your columns, but many of your tax suggestions are not applicable to me. I am not an employee, nor am I a business owner. I am not self employed and my income in retirement is considerably higher than it was when I was employed. This year I was obliged to withdraw from my RRIF which will considerably boost my income in 2017. So the only relevant suggestion for me is to claim the principal resident deduction when I sell the family home which is essentially obvious.
