Common Scenarios

We've seen it before.

"I just incorporated. What do I actually need to file?"

A T2 for the corporation, T4 if you paid yourself salary, T5 if you paid dividends, HST if registered. We handle all of it and set up your first year correctly.

First-Year Corp
"My accountant just filed my T2 with a huge balance owing. Why?"

Usually a compensation planning issue — too much retained, wrong dividend type, or instalment underpayments. We identify the cause and fix the structure going forward.

Tax Owing
"I've been taking money out of my company — is that a problem?"

Depends how it was recorded. Shareholder loan balances not repaid within the year after the corporate year-end get included in personal income. We sort it out.

Shareholder Loans
"CRA is asking about my corporation. What do I do?"

Don't respond without representation. We review the query, prepare the response, and communicate with CRA directly on your behalf.
