CANADA

How It All Began

We got our start in Canada in 1997, when our founder purchased U&R Tax Depot. We changed the name to Liberty Tax, and a new tax preparation leader was born. Our mission is to be trusted locally and respected nationally as the best choice for professional tax services.

Since our beginning, Liberty Tax has grown to more than 250 locations in Canada. In the average tax year, we prepare more than 1.7 million individual tax returns for our clients. Liberty Tax has become a force in the competitive tax preparation market, and we have maintained our personal approach to customer service.

When you file in-person with us, you get access to real tax help from real tax experts. The people we help during tax season are not just our customers, they’re our neighbours. We know that they're looking for someone they can trust, a price they can afford, and to either owe less on taxes or get their largest possible refund. That’s where we come in – we're committed to building long-term relationships and establishing ourselves as trusted tax experts for life.

Known for the total support we provide our franchisees, our tax return preparation franchise is consistently recognized as a leader among all franchises, not just personal income tax-based businesses. We’ve been ranked as one of the top franchises on Entrepreneur magazine’s annual Franchise 500 list every year since 1998, including a Best of the Best award in 2016. We’re also listed in Bond’s Top 100 Franchises. Accounting Today named Liberty Tax® to its Top Tax Firms list in 2016 and 2017. We’re the #1-ranked non-food multi-unit franchise by Multi-Unit Franchisee magazine, and we’ve been awarded a top spot among franchises by Black Enterprise, Poder/Hispanic Enterprise, and Military Times Edge.
