6 worked Brockville case studies — the position a client typically comes to us with, what we do, and what it is worth. Each is an illustrative example built on the rules that apply to Brockville and its provincial tax regime, not a specific client's file.

$122,000 Credit Claim Filed And Accepted Without Adjustment — Management Consultancy, Brockville
The situation — A management consultancy, Brockville, Ontario
A management consultancy in Brockville, Ontario assumed the credits did not apply to a business its size. Ontario incentives claimed by competitors and never by this business meant they had applied all along.

$122,000 recovered. Because the eligibility analysis is on file, the same claim can be repeated each year with a fraction of the effort.
Case Study 2 · Scaling without breaking

The result — A pharmacy, Brockville, Ontario
$142,000 of cash was released from the working capital cycle. The expansion completed with every registration and filing obligation covered from day one.

The situation — A mortgage brokerage, Brockville, Ontario
The structure at a mortgage brokerage in Brockville, Ontario needed fixing. The file was carrying 13% HST charged on every sale regardless of where the customer was located. Every option for fixing it ran through a reorganisation that had to be done without triggering tax.
What we did for A mortgage brokerage, Brockville, Ontario
We worked with the client's lawyer. Together, we recalculated the corporate tax at the 12.2% combined small business rate and rebased the instalments on the current year. We also prepared the elections, resolutions and valuations the structure needed to stand up.

The structure now matches the business. Annual saving of $15,500, and the reorganisation itself was tax-neutral.

Intergenerational Transfer Completed With $805,000 Deferred — Cybersecurity Firm, Brockville
The situation — A cybersecurity firm, Brockville, Ontario
A generational transfer at a cybersecurity firm in Brockville, Ontario had been discussed for years without a plan. No valuation on file to support the price the parties had agreed meant the transfer as contemplated would have been fully taxable.
What we did for A cybersecurity firm, Brockville, Ontario
We rebuilt the sales ledger by customer location, applied the correct place-of-supply rate to each stream, and filed the adjusted HST returns. We sequenced the steps so each one was complete and documented before the next depended on it.
The result — A cybersecurity firm, Brockville, Ontario
$805,000 of tax was deferred through the transfer, and the successor generation took over a corporation whose records stood up to review.
