Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about corporate and personal tax, GST and payroll.

ServicesDo you prepare corporate tax returns?

Yes. We prepare your company’s year-end financial statements and T2 corporate income tax return, together with the T4 and T5 slips that report owner pay. The T2 is generally due six months after your fiscal year-end; any balance owing is generally due two or three months after year-end.

ServicesWhat is a shareholder loan account?

It records money moving between you and your company outside salary and dividends, such as personal costs paid from the business account. We keep it reconciled and review the balance at year-end: money you owe the company generally has to be repaid within one year after the end of the company’s tax year in which you took it, or it is added to your income.

ServicesDo you handle GST filing and tax compliance?

Yes. Our services include GST return preparation and filing, corporate tax returns (T2), personal income tax returns and dividend income reporting. We discuss the filings and support you need before confirming the scope of your engagement.

ServicesCan you prepare my personal tax return as well as my business accounting?

Yes. We prepare personal income tax returns, including dividend income reporting, alongside your business accounting.

Your informationWhat records will you need for tax and payroll work?

We explain which records are needed for your services and when to provide them, and we agree how documents will be shared before you send them.

FeesHow are your fees determined?

Fees are quoted for each engagement and sized to your business. They depend on the services you need, the volume of transactions and the condition of your records: clean monthly statements take less work than a year of receipts in a box. We agree fees before work begins and discuss any additional work with you first.
