Corporate Tax Services

Corporate Tax Services for Owner‑Managed Businesses

I prepare corporate income tax returns for Canadian corporations, including T2 filings and related schedules, in compliance with CRA requirements. My work focuses on accurate reporting, timely filing, and practical guidance aligned with the size and complexity of your business.

For many corporations, the T2 corporate tax return is completed as part of a corporate year‑end engagement that includes financial statements prepared under CSRS 4200.

Compliance First, Planning Where Appropriate

While some corporations require ongoing tax planning, many owner‑managed businesses primarily need reliable compliance support at year‑end. Planning considerations such as salary versus dividends or tax timing are addressed where relevant, without adding unnecessary complexity.

Tax Compliance

Filing Requirements

  • Corporate Returns (T2): I prepare and file corporate income tax returns in accordance with CRA guidelines, ensuring accurate reporting of revenue, expenses, and credits.

  • Additional Filings: I also handle GST/HST, T4 (salary and payroll), and T5 (dividends) returns, depending on your business activities.

  • Charity Filings: For registered charities, I prepare T3010 returns and ensure compliance with not-for-profit regulations.

Accuracy and CRA Compliance

I stay current with CRA updates and tax law changes to ensure your filings reflect the latest requirements. I work directly with your management team to ensure submissions are complete, accurate, and audit-ready. This helps reduce the risk of penalties or reassessments.

Strategic Tax Planning

Tailored Guidance for Shareholder-Operators

  • Dividend versus Salary Decisions: I provide personalized advice to help structure compensation in a tax-efficient way that supports both personal and corporate goals.

  • Tax on Split Income (TOSI): If applicable, I offer proactive strategies to navigate TOSI rules and reduce exposure to adverse tax outcomes.

  • Succession and Estate Planning: I help owner-managers plan for long-term transitions, including estate tax considerations and business continuity.
