What it is
If your business is incorporated in Canada, you're required to file a T2 corporate income tax return every year, regardless of whether the corporation made money.
This is separate from your personal tax return, and it has its own rules, deadlines, and complications.
Filing a T2 isn't just data entry. It involves classifying income correctly (active vs passive), claiming the right deductions, applying the small business deduction where eligible, calculating capital cost allowance on assets, and reconciling the books to the tax-adjusted figures.
Done well, it optimizes your tax position legitimately. Done poorly, it leaves money on the table or creates audit exposure.
We file your T2 alongside the preparation of your year-end financial statements, with the perspective of someone who has been watching your books all year, not just plugging numbers into software in March.
Corporate tax filing goes well beyond submitting a T2. Here is the full scope of work behind a return that is accurate, tax-efficient, and audit-defensible.
Prepared and filed with the CRA, fully compliant with the Income Tax Act.
Notice to Reader financials prepared from your bookkeeping records.
All required schedules (Schedule 1, 8, 50, 100, 125, 141 and others depending on your situation) completed correctly.
General Index of Financial Information codes properly mapped to your accounts for CRA submission.
Filing decisions coordinated with tax planning for salary vs dividend, retained earnings, and timing of expenses.
Every Canadian corporation files a T2, but the situations that benefit most from professional handling vary. The profiles below capture the cases we see most.
If your business is incorporated in Canada, you're required to file a T2, this applies to you. Whether you're a single-shareholder consulting corporation or a multi-shareholder operating company with employees, the corporate tax filing process follows the same framework, only the complexity changes.
You're not sure how thoroughly your T2 is being prepared, whether decisions are being made or just data plugged in, or whether the filing reflects what's actually happening in your business. You want a clearer answer than it's done.
Multiple income types, holding companies, intercompany transactions, asset acquisitions, or shareholder loan accounts that need professional handling. Most of these benefit from coordinated tax planning throughout the year, not just at filing time.
When you own multiple corporations, the filings can't be done in isolation. Intercompany transactions, associated corporation rules, shared small business deduction limits, dividends between corps, all of this requires coordinated filing across the group, not page-by-page work on each return. Coordination with tax planning across the entire corporate group makes the difference.
