As a general rule, you should keep your financial records for 6 years from the end of the tax year they relate to.

For example, in 2026, you should have complete records going back to the beginning of your 2019 fiscal year.

However, some documents should be kept indefinitely, including:
• Incorporation documents
• Charitable & political donation receipts
• Any tax-related appeal letters

When in doubt… keep it.
