  Canada Taxation

The T2 return blends federal and provincial rates, GST/HST layers on top, and CCPCs may qualify for the small-business rate — a combination we optimise rather than approximate.

What we file & when

Key Canada filings.

T2 corporate income tax returnTypically due six months after fiscal year-end; payment deadlines are earlier.
GST/HST returnsMonthly, quarterly or annually depending on volume.
Provincial filingsRequirements vary by province of operation.
Payroll remittancesOn the CRA remittance schedule.

Typical deadlines under standard rules — actual dates shift with extensions, agent arrangements and entity type. We confirm your exact filing calendar at engagement.

Full tax scope

Everything under taxation.

The complete list — individual returns, corporate returns, registrations, indirect tax and disputes — delivered for Canada through the CRA and provincial authorities.

Individual income tax returns

Personal tax returns for residents, non-residents and expats — employment, business, rental, investment and foreign income, filed correctly in each country you touch.

Corporate & company tax returns

Preparation and filing of company income tax returns — C-corps, limited companies, subsidiaries and branches — with workpapers that survive review.

Tax registrations

Getting you correctly registered wherever an obligation exists: federal and state registrations, VAT/GST numbers, employer accounts and e-filing portals.

Cross-border structuring & planning

Designing how your entities, contracts and cash flows sit across countries so you pay what the law requires — and not more.

Transfer pricing documentation

The intercompany pricing files (local file, master file, benchmarking) tax authorities demand when related companies trade with each other across borders.

Economic nexus & US state taxes

Working out where your sales or presence have quietly created a US state obligation — income, franchise and sales tax — then registering and filing where it matters.

Indirect tax — VAT / GST / sales tax

Registration, periodic returns and advisory for VAT, GST and sales-tax regimes in every market we cover.

Withholding tax & treaty relief

Getting cross-border payments (dividends, royalties, service fees) taxed at the correct treaty rate instead of the default — with the certificates to prove it.

Tax residency & permanent establishment

Advice on where you and your company are actually taxable — residency tests, PE risk from remote teams, and how to structure around both.

Expat & remote-founder tax

Coordinated home-and-host-country filings for founders and professionals living outside their passport country.

Advance / estimated tax computations

Quarterly and advance tax estimates so instalments are right-sized — no penalties, no interest-free loans to the government.

Tax notices, audits & disputes

Responses to authority notices, audit representation and appeals — measured where compliance is the answer, firm where the demand is wrong.

Tax due diligence

The tax workstream of a deal: exposures quantified, positions reviewed, and warranties negotiated with real numbers behind them.

Group tax reporting & deferred tax

Current and deferred tax provisions for financial statements, prepared to audit standard alongside our accounting advisory team.

How remote engagement works

Fully remote. Returns and schedules prepared by us and filed through authorised channels, with local signatories arranged where required.

Pricing approach

Fixed annual fee covering federal and provincial obligations in scope.

Questions

Canada tax — your questions

Do you handle both federal and provincial tax? +
Yes — the T2 return covers federal and most provincial calculations; separate provincial filings are handled where a province requires them.
We're a US company expanding north. Where do we start? +
With a registration and obligations review: entity choice, GST/HST registration and payroll setup, in that order.
What combined rate should we plan for? +
The estimator models typical combined federal–provincial general rates by province. Positions are confirmed against CRA sources during the engagement.
