Wholesalers routinely assume business-to-business sales are somehow tax-free. They are not: a domestic wholesale sale is taxable, and the buyer simply recovers the tax as an input tax credit. What genuinely removes the tax is export, since goods exported from Canada are generally zero-rated, meaning no tax is charged but your own input tax credits remain recoverable. That combination makes export documentation the single most valuable file a wholesaler keeps.
Before we quote a fee or open a file, we ask wholesalers owners the same first question: who prepared this last, and did they work the sector regularly? The answer usually predicts what we will find.
Start with the rule that decides most files: The CRA expects the trial balance behind a T2 to reconcile to the GIFI schedules filed with it. A statement set that does not tie to the return is the first thing a reviewer notices.
It would be simpler if the story ended there, but a second rule enters almost immediately. Accrued but unbilled revenue belongs in income in the year the work was performed. Deferring it to the invoice date understates taxable income and is a standard reassessment adjustment.
Fixed fee agreed up front, sector-experienced preparation, and you pay after the work is reviewed.
Every engagement we run for Wholesalers starts from the same question: which e-commerce rules apply to this file, and which of them is the client currently getting wrong? These are the ones that come up most.
Inventory stored in a fulfilment warehouse can create a permanent establishment in that province, pulling the seller into provincial filing obligations it never intended.
Marketplace facilitator rules make platforms collect GST/HST on many sales, but a seller still needs its own registration where it holds inventory or exceeds the small-supplier threshold.
GST paid at the border on imported goods is recoverable as an input tax credit, but only by the importer of record, so the customs paperwork has to name the right party.
Landed cost — freight, duty and brokerage — belongs in inventory rather than expensed on arrival, which shifts the deduction to the period the goods actually sell.
Foreign currency sales are translated at the transaction date, and the CRA expects a consistent method rather than a year-end average applied retroactively.
Writing down obsolete or unsellable stock to net realisable value is a legitimate deduction that most sellers take far too late.
This is the level of sector detail built into every fixed-fee engagement we run for Wholesalers, with payment due only after you have approved the work.

See how our expert Wholesalers tax and accounting services have helped Canadian businesses save money and stay compliant.
11 months of records at a cross-border dropshipper in London, Ontario had never been reconciled, leaving sector deductions claimed on a general-business basis rather than the wholesalers rules. Rebuilding recovered $13,000.
A print-on-demand business in Burnaby, British Columbia faced a $14,000 proposed reassessment after seasonal revenue reported without matching the costs that produced it. We rebuilt the documentation and the adjustment was withdrawn in full.
A subscription box company in Brampton, Ontario had outgrown its structure, with equipment and asset classes assigned by guesswork rather than the CCA schedule the visible cost. The reorganisation completed tax-deferred and saves $45,000 a year.
A Shopify store shipping nationwide in Regina, Saskatchewan was overpaying instalments because of a previous accountant with no experience of this sector. Rebasing them returned $21,000 to the business.
An incentive review at an Amazon FBA seller in Kitchener, Ontario found development and improvement work written off as ordinary overhead and recovered $17,500 across 7 open years.
A $56,000 reassessment landed at a direct-to-consumer apparel brand in Red Deer, Alberta, resting on a chart of accounts that told the owner nothing about wholesalers margin. The objection was allowed in full.

Direct answers to what Canadian business owners actually ask before hiring an accountant.
Individuals pay quarterly instalments once net tax owing passes $3,000 in the current year and either of the two preceding years. Corporations generally pay monthly, with many small CCPCs eligible for quarterly instalments instead. Basing them on a current-year estimate avoids overpaying after a strong year.
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.

Let us give you the substance first and the caveats second. Shareholder loan balances must be repaid within one year of the corporation’s following year-end or the amount is included in the shareholder’s personal income under subsection 15(2). The caveat is simply that facts on your file can shift the outcome, so treat this as the baseline rather than the final word.
A tax practitioner answers this differently than a search engine, because the rule has edges. Related-party transactions have to be recorded at fair market value, and a below-market charge between connected companies invites an adjustment on both sides of the transaction. Where your business sits relative to those edges is what we establish in the first meeting.
The questions Canadians actually search on this topic, answered plainly. Browse every question in the Canadian tax answers directory.
Most municipalities do not take credit cards for property tax directly. They accept pre-authorised debit, online or telephone banking, cheque, and in-person payment. Third-party payment processors will charge a property tax bill to a card for a service fee, which normally costs more than the rewards earned. The CRA works the same way for income tax and GST/HST: no direct card payment, but authorised third-party providers accept cards for a fee.
A T4E is the statement of Employment Insurance and other benefits. Service Canada issues one for each year in which EI was paid, covering regular, sickness, maternity, parental, caregiving or fishing benefits, and it shows the total received, the income tax already withheld and any amount to be repaid. Those figures go on the personal return for that year. Benefits paid under a different program come on their own slip.
Property tax is an annual charge a municipality levies on real estate to fund local services such as roads, water, policing, fire and schools. A provincial assessment authority values the property, council sets a tax rate in its budget, and the bill is the assessed value multiplied by the rate for your property class. Unpaid amounts stay attached to the property itself. It is separate from income tax, so the city bills it, not the CRA.
Yes. The CRA answers individual, business and benefit enquiries by phone, and its Contact the CRA page lists the current numbers and hours for each line. Have your social insurance number or business number, a recent return and your notice of assessment ready, because the agent will verify your identity before discussing an account. For account details, balances and slips, My Account often answers the question faster than the phone.
The buyer pays, and the money changes hands on closing through the lawyer or notary handling the transfer. Land transfer tax is provincial, so the name and the calculation differ: a Toronto buyer pays a municipal land transfer tax on top of the Ontario one, while Alberta and Saskatchewan charge registration fees instead of a transfer tax. Several provinces offer first-time buyer relief. The seller carries their own costs, including commission.
That figure is your payroll deduction rate, not a tax bracket. Canada's federal rates for 2026 start at 14% and rise through 20.5%, 26% and 29% to 33%, and what leaves your cheque blends federal and provincial tax with CPP at 5.95% and EI at $1.63 per $100 of insurable earnings for 2026. Payroll also annualises each cheque, so a bonus or overtime period is taxed as if every period looked the same. Filing squares it up.
