Corporate tax with both deadlines on the clock.
A T2 is only as good as the books underneath it — and only as safe as the deadline tracking around it. We prepare the statements, file through the CRA's authorized channel, and track the payment date most owners don't know exists.
What’s included
A corporate year-end here is a package, not a form.
Year-end financial statements
Prepared from reconciled books with proper adjusting entries — accruals, depreciation, shareholder accounts — so the T2 sits on final numbers, not estimates.
The T2 return, prepared and E-FILED
Filed through the CRA's authorized electronic channel by a named person on your file, with the confirmation number recorded against the filing.
Both deadlines tracked — filing AND payment
The T2 has two clocks: six months to file, two or three to pay. We track both, because the payment deadline is the one that quietly costs interest.
Tax planning inside the year
Salary versus dividends, purchase timing, instalment planning — decisions made while they can still change the outcome, not observed at year-end.
CRA correspondence handled
Notices, reviews and appeals — we correspond with the CRA on your behalf, from a firm that answers to you rather than a preparer who disappeared in May.
GST/HST kept consistent
Corporate returns and GST/HST filings reconciled to the same books, so the numbers the CRA sees from you always agree with each other.
The two-clock problem, solved by structure
Most corporate interest charges start the same way: an owner who knew the six-month filing deadline and assumed the money was due the same day. It is not — payment is due at two or three months, and interest runs from that day. Our clients’ filing calendars track both dates per entity, and because the books close monthly, the year-end number is visible early enough to plan the payment rather than be ambushed by it. The full rules are in our T2 deadlines reference.
How it starts
A 20-minute conversation
Free, and genuinely 20 minutes: your volume, your entities, the state of the books. If we are not the right fit, we say so and point you somewhere.
A fixed fee, in writing
One number for the year, agreed before any work starts. Software, setup and onboarding are part of it — there is no second bill from anyone else.
We take it from there
Our team builds your books on our platform, catches up whatever is behind, and runs the monthly close. You watch it happen in the same system we work in.
Asked about corporate tax
When is my corporation's T2 due?
Six months after your corporation's year-end — but the tax itself is generally due at two months (three for many CCPCs claiming the small business deduction). A December 31 year-end means filing by June 30 with payment due March 31. Missing the payment date costs interest even when the filing is comfortably on time.
My books are a mess. Can you still do my corporate return?
Yes — the books come first, then the return. Cleanup and catch-up is core work for us: we bring the year current, post proper year-end adjustments, then prepare and file. A T2 built on unreconciled books is a T2 that gets questions.
I have several years of unfiled corporate returns.
Common, fixable, and better done proactively than after a CRA demand-to-file. We rebuild each year, prepare the returns in order, and file them. The late-filing penalty grows monthly, so the arithmetic always favours starting now.
Do you handle incorporation too?
Yes — federal and provincial incorporation is handled in-house, and for a new corporation we set up the books, payroll accounts and filing calendar from day one, which is far cheaper than untangling year one after the fact.

Twenty minutes, no charge. We will look at how your books are kept today and tell you exactly what we would do differently — and that advice is yours to keep, whether you hire us or not.
