Taxation & Government Filings

Filing cadence varies by tax type and business circumstances. T2 corporate tax returns are typically filed annually within 6 months of fiscal year-end. GST/HST and BC PST returns may be filed monthly, quarterly, or annually depending on revenue thresholds and registration type. BC Employer Health Tax returns are typically filed annually or quarterly depending on payroll size. Payroll remittances are typically made monthly or quarterly depending on remitter type. However, filing cadence depends on business registration, revenue levels, and tax authority requirements. We discuss filing cadence during initial consultation and coordinate filing schedules, but actual cadence depends on your business circumstances and tax registrations. We work to establish efficient filing processes, but filing success depends on maintaining organized records and timely information sharing. Filing cadence is coordinated based on your needs, but effective tax compliance requires ongoing attention to deadlines and record-keeping.

We assist with CRA and provincial tax notices by reviewing notices, understanding tax authority requests, and preparing responses. Notice handling typically involves reviewing the notice content, gathering supporting documentation, and preparing responses that address tax authority inquiries. However, notice handling depends on notice type, complexity, and authorization-some notices may require simple responses, while others may involve more complex tax matters. We provide support for tax notices, but final responses and decisions are made by your business. We help prepare responses and coordinate tax authority communications, but notice outcomes depend on tax authority evaluation, documentation quality, and business circumstances. We coordinate with tax authorities on your behalf when authorized, but effective notice handling requires timely responses, accurate documentation, and clear communication. We provide tax notice support, but notice resolution success depends on many factors including documentation, business circumstances, and tax authority evaluation.

Tax filing requires maintaining organized records including sales invoices, purchase receipts, bank statements, payroll records, expense documentation, and supporting documents for tax deductions and credits. Records should be maintained for the period required by tax authorities, typically several years after filing. However, record requirements depend on tax type and business circumstances-some tax filings require detailed transaction records, while others may need summary information. We discuss record-keeping requirements during initial consultation and provide guidance on documentation, but record maintenance is your responsibility. We provide record-keeping guidance and help organize records for tax filing, but effective record-keeping requires ongoing attention to documentation and organization. We coordinate with accounting services to ensure tax-ready records, but record quality and completeness affect tax filing accuracy and efficiency. Record-keeping guidance is provided as part of tax services, but maintaining organized records requires ongoing organizational discipline.

We coordinate tax filings for multi-entity groups by understanding entity structures, coordinating filing schedules, and ensuring consistent tax treatment across entities. Multi-entity coordination typically involves understanding inter-entity transactions, coordinating fiscal year-ends, and ensuring tax filings reflect proper entity relationships. However, coordination complexity depends on entity structure, transaction complexity, and tax requirements. We work to coordinate multi-entity tax filings, but coordination success depends on clear entity structures, organized records, and timely information sharing. We provide multi-entity tax coordination, but effective coordination requires understanding entity relationships and maintaining organized records for each entity. We coordinate with accounting services to ensure tax-ready records for each entity, but multi-entity tax coordination requires ongoing attention to entity structures and inter-entity transactions. Multi-entity coordination is discussed during engagement setup, but effective coordination depends on maintaining clear entity structures and organized records.

Tax services coordinate with year-end accounting by ensuring financial records are tax-ready, reconciling tax filings to financial statements, and coordinating timing for tax preparation. Coordination typically involves reviewing year-end financial statements, identifying tax adjustments, and ensuring tax filings align with accounting records. However, coordination effectiveness depends on accounting record quality, timing, and communication. We work to coordinate tax services with accounting, but coordination success depends on timely financial statement preparation, accurate records, and clear communication. We coordinate with accounting services to ensure tax-ready records, but effective coordination requires maintaining clean books throughout the year and completing year-end processes in a timely manner. We provide tax preparation that builds on accounting records, but tax filing success depends on accounting accuracy and record completeness. Tax and accounting coordination is discussed during engagement setup, but effective coordination requires ongoing attention to record quality and timely completion of accounting processes.
