Two rules define construction accounting in Canada. Businesses whose main activity is construction must report payments to subcontractors annually on the T5018 information return, and the CRA actively matches those slips against the subcontractors' reported income. Separately, holdbacks are not income until they become receivable under the contract or lien legislation, so a contractor who recognizes holdback revenue on invoicing pays tax up to a year before collecting the cash.

See how our expert Construction tax and accounting services have helped Canadian businesses save money and stay compliant.
A general contractor faced a CRA review of unreported subcontractor payments. We reconciled every T5018 and cleared a proposed $54,000 reassessment down to nil.
A builder was paying tax on holdbacks not yet received. We restructured their work-in-progress and holdback recognition, deferring $31,000 of tax to when the cash actually arrived.
A contractor bought $180,000 of machinery. We applied the right CCA classes and immediate-expensing incentives to unlock a $22,000-larger first-year deduction.
A carrier financed new trucks. We optimized CCA classes and interest deductibility for the fleet.

Direct answers to what Canadian business owners actually ask before hiring an accountant.
The recurring ones are capital cost allowance on equipment placed in service late in the year, the business-use portion of vehicle and home-office costs, and professional development. Each is defensible when documented at the time and difficult to defend when reconstructed later.
Corporate tax filing starts at $90 and bookkeeping at $10 per month, quoted as a fixed fee before work begins. Sector complexity does not trigger a surcharge. Review the full price list.
Registration is mandatory once taxable revenue exceeds $30,000 over four consecutive quarters. Registering voluntarily below that threshold is often worthwhile, because it lets you recover input tax credits on startup and equipment purchases.
Incorporation usually pays off once profit consistently exceeds what you draw personally, because retained earnings are taxed at the small business rate rather than your marginal rate. Below that point the added compliance cost often outweighs the benefit. We model both before you decide.
The CRA requires six years of books and records from the end of the tax year they relate to: invoices, receipts, bank statements, payroll records and contracts. Digital copies are acceptable provided they are legible and complete.
We run the cycle, remit source deductions on schedule, and issue T4s ahead of the February deadline. Late remittances draw a penalty of up to 10% and repeat lateness raises it to 20%, so timing is the whole game. See our payroll service.
Yes. We work in QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, Sage, spreadsheets, and plain scanned documents. You are not required to migrate systems to become a client, and we never charge a conversion fee.
Multi-province operations allocate taxable income by permanent establishment and payroll, and sales tax rules differ by jurisdiction. We handle the allocation schedules and the differing GST, HST, PST and QST obligations in one engagement.
For corporations in the construction sector, T2 tax filings are due within 6 months of the fiscal year-end. Personal returns for sole proprietors are due June 15, with balances payable by April 30.
Common write-offs include operating expenses, inventory costs, technology software licenses, marketing, employee wages, home workspace allocation, and capital assets depreciation.
We provide specialized bookkeeping, corporate compliance, and strategic planning with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and Pay After Service model.
