Common questions

ChatGPT produces a confident answer without showing you where it came from. TaxBeacon AI retrieves the actual ITA text, CRA folios, and court decisions — reads them — and builds a cited position from them. The difference matters when you're defending a client file.
Yes. When paid plans open, upgrading is immediate — no sales call, no demo. Your history and matters carry over.
No. TaxBeacon AI produces research memos — not legal or tax advice. The output is designed to accelerate your research, not replace your review. You decide whether to adopt the position.
Income Tax Act provisions, CRA guidance (Folios, ITs, technical interpretations), Tax Court and Federal Court of Appeal decisions, and Department of Finance technical notes. Provincial tax law and GST/HST are not yet in scope.
Sources are retrieved live at query time from government and CanLII databases. Research is current to within days for legislation and CRA guidance — not limited by a static training cutoff.

Ten free queries.
