Disclaimer

CININTIRIKS is a record-keeping service. It stores the receipts and invoices you give it, reads their details, files each record against a line on a Canada Revenue Agency form, keeps the original exactly as received, and produces summaries and exports for you or your advisor to use.

It is not a tax preparer, an accountant, a bookkeeper or a filer. Nothing is transmitted to the Canada Revenue Agency. No return is prepared. No professional reviews your records. The work the service does is organizing and keeping; everything that follows from those records is yours and your advisor’s.

Nothing on this site or in the service — including the expense lines, their descriptions, the help pages, and anything produced by automated reading — is tax, accounting, legal or financial advice, and none of it creates a professional relationship between us. It is general information about how records can be organized. If you need advice about your own situation, consult a qualified advisor or the Canada Revenue Agency.

Filing a record against an expense line organizes it. It does not rule that the amount may be claimed, in whole or in part. Deductibility depends on your circumstances — whether the expense was incurred to earn income, how it is apportioned between business and personal use, and the rules that apply to your form — and some lines carry statutory limits, of which meals and entertainment is the best known. Tax rules also change, and a record filed under one year’s rules is not re-examined when they do.

What you claim, and whether you may claim it, is between you, your advisor and the Canada Revenue Agency.

Details are read from your documents automatically. That reading is a machine’s best attempt at what a photograph shows, and it can be wrong: faded thermal paper, creases, shadows, a partly cut-off total, an unusual layout, a foreign currency or a language the model handles poorly can all produce a wrong vendor, date or amount.

The service is built to be honest about that. Every record shows its source, and a record read from an image carries a confidence indication; uncertain, incomplete or inconsistent readings are flagged for review rather than hidden. Every field can be corrected, and each correction is kept on the record.

Checking a record before you rely on it is your responsibility, particularly before an export is used to prepare a return.

A record is filed against the line that best fits what was read. Where nothing fits, or the reading was uncertain, it is placed on the form’s “other” line, or left without a line where the form has none, and marked for review. The line is yours to change, and you should change it whenever the automatic choice does not match the reality of the expense.

The five code systems — T2125, T776, T777, the T1 itself and GIFI — are not interchangeable: the same four-digit number can mean a different account on a different form. Each set of books names one system, and a record can only take a line that exists on it. Choosing the right system for a set of books is your decision.

A record that looks like one already filed is flagged as a possible duplicate, and a record that was read poorly is flagged as needing review. These flags are hints, not findings. A flag may appear on a perfectly good record — two identical coffees on the same day are not a mistake — and a duplicate can slip through unflagged. Treat both as prompts to look, not as a verdict.

Records and their originals are kept for six years from the end of the tax year they relate to, because that is the period the Canada Revenue Agency generally requires. The service keeps the file exactly as supplied: it is not re-compressed, cropped, or discarded after the details have been read.

The Canada Revenue Agency accepts electronic images of paper documents where proper imaging practices are followed and documented. We keep your images; we do not certify your imaging practice, and using CININTIRIKS does not by itself make you compliant. That depends on what you photograph, what you keep, what you claim, and the completeness of your own records — including records this service does not hold, such as bank statements, mileage logs and payroll.

The CSV and the PDF show what is in your records, totalled by expense line and labelled with the form the set of books uses. They are a summary for you or your advisor to work from. They are not a tax return, not a financial statement, and not an audit, and they are only as complete and as accurate as the records they are built from.

We aim to keep the service running continuously and to protect your records, but no online service is available without interruption. Maintenance, a fault, or a failure at a provider we depend on can all put it out of reach for a time. Keep your own exports of anything you could not reconstruct, particularly around a filing deadline.

CININTIRIKS runs on Amazon Web Services in Canada, and one step — reading a document — is performed by Google’s Gemini service. The Privacy Policy names each provider and what it receives. We choose them carefully and hold them to their terms, but we do not control them, and an outage or a change at a provider can affect the service. That does not change our obligations to you under the Terms.

Where we link to the Canada Revenue Agency or to another organization, we do so because it is useful. We do not control those sites, we are not responsible for their content or their practices, and a link is not an endorsement. Canada Revenue Agency pages are the authority on their own rules; where anything here differs from what the Agency publishes, the Agency is right.

The service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, and we do not warrant that automatic reading will be accurate, that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that it meets the record-keeping requirements of your particular situation.

Nothing here removes a right you have under consumer-protection law that cannot be excluded, and nothing limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, including lost profits, lost data, lost goodwill, or any tax, penalty or interest assessed against you. Our total liability for all claims relating to the service is limited to the greater of (i) CAD $50 and (ii) the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the event that gave rise to the claim, as section 18 of the Terms sets out.

We may update this Disclaimer. The current version is always on this page, with the date at the top, and a change that materially affects you is announced by email as the Terms require.
