VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/06/13 -- The Certified General Accountants Association of Canada (CGA-Canada) today launched its 2013 Tax Portal, a national one-stop resource for personal tax information.

"We are pleased to offer a dynamic portal of tax resources and bring value to the public and our members," says Anthony Ariganello, CGA-Canada's president and CEO. "The completion of personal income taxes can be a challenging endeavor and CGAs are here to provide guidance and make the experience less daunting."

Designed for both the public and business professionals, the portal features access to the 2012-13 Personal Tax Planning book, key filing deadlines, links to advice and news articles, and a link to a national directory of more than 2,250 CGA firms called Need an Accountant.
