The tax file of home care & senior care providers looks nothing like a generic small business return. Most health services are GST/HST-exempt, which blocks input tax credits on overhead — cost structures need to be planned around unrecoverable sales tax. Our sector team files home care & senior care providers at economical flat rates with pay-after-service.
Owners in the home care & senior care providers sector tend to ask us the same handful of questions, in roughly the same order. That repetition is useful: it tells a tax services provider exactly where the sector's confusion lives, and these notes start there.
There is no way around the opening fact, so it may as well come first. A T1 adjustment can reach back ten calendar years, and ReFILE handles most changes without a paper T1-ADJ. Most missed refunds are still recoverable years later. Very few taxpayers go back and look.
The next point is the one a tax services provider checks before quoting any timeline: T1 returns are due April 30, and June 15 for the self-employed — but any balance owing is due April 30 regardless, with interest compounding daily from that date. The June deadline misleads a great many self-employed filers into paying two months late without realising it.
Fixed fee agreed up front, sector-experienced preparation, and you pay after the work is reviewed.
What Home Care & Senior Care Providers need from an accountant is not what a generic small business needs. The healthcare sector carries its own CRA scrutiny, its own deduction profile and its own filing calendar, and a file prepared without that context leaves money and defensibility on the table.
Most health services are GST/HST-exempt, which blocks input tax credits on rent, equipment and software — the sales tax paid on overhead is a permanent cost, not a recoverable one.
A clinic mixing exempt treatment with taxable supplies (retail products, cosmetic procedures, medico-legal reports) must apportion its input tax credits, and the CRA reviews that split closely.
Clinical equipment generally falls in Class 8 at 20%, while computers and diagnostic software sit in Class 50 at 55% — the classification decides how fast the cost comes back.
Leasehold improvements to a clinic are Class 13, amortised over the lease term rather than expensed, which surprises practices that have just renovated.
A medical professional corporation files its T2 within six months of year-end; provincial rules on who may hold shares differ by college and change what income splitting survives TOSI.
Practitioners who bill provincial health insurance receive payment statements that must reconcile to reported revenue — mismatches are the single most common CRA query in this sector.
Because passive income above $50,000 grinds the small business deduction, a practice retaining profit needs its investment portfolio structured with that threshold in mind.
Incorporation only pays once the practitioner leaves meaningful profit in the company; where the whole income is drawn, the corporate structure often costs more than it saves.
We apply all of this as part of the standard engagement for Home Care & Senior Care Providers — there is no separate advisory fee, and the quote is fixed before any work begins.

An incentive review at a physiotherapy group in Vancouver, British Columbia recovered $21,000 across 4 open years. It found provincial credits left unclaimed alongside every federal filing.
An incentive review at a physiotherapy group in Vancouver, British Columbia started from a simple question: what has never been claimed? The answer ran to 4 years. It was driven by provincial credits left unclaimed alongside every federal filing. We reassigned the asset classes on the CCA schedule and corrected the opening balances. We documented eligibility to the standard a reviewer would apply rather than the standard a claim form requires. The credits produced $21,000 across the open years. The tracking now in place means the following year's claim is documented as the work happens rather than reconstructed afterwards.
The ledger at a family medicine clinic in Victoria, British Columbia could not support its own filings. The reason was a previous accountant with no experience of this sector. Rebuilding it surfaced $14,500 in unclaimed input tax.
A family medicine clinic in Victoria, British Columbia could not answer basic questions about its own numbers. A previous accountant with no experience of this sector sat between the bank statements and the ledger. We rebuilt the chart of accounts around how a home care & senior care providers business actually earns and spends. We then documented the process so the work does not depend on any one person remembering how it was done. Records rebuilt and reconciled, $14,500 recovered in input tax credits that the old file could not support, and a documented monthly process now in place.
Due diligence at a two-dentist practice in Surrey, British Columbia surfaced a shareholder loan balance that would have been picked up as income on closing. Restructuring the sale saved $185,000 against the original terms.
A two-dentist practice in Surrey, British Columbia was preparing to sell. Due diligence surfaced a shareholder loan balance that would have been picked up as income on closing. That would have reduced the price or killed the deal outright. We cleaned up the historical file. We reviewed every sector-specific deduction against the current rules and claimed the ones that had been missed. Then we prepared the due-diligence package the buyer's advisers actually asked for. The deal closed at the agreed price. $185,000 of tax was saved against the structure originally proposed, with no post-closing adjustment.
Remittances at a home-care nursing agency in Lethbridge, Alberta were chronically late. It came down to equipment and asset classes assigned by guesswork rather than the CCA schedule. Fixing the schedule refunded $103,000.
Remittances at a home-care nursing agency in Lethbridge, Alberta were consistently late by a few days. That was enough to trigger penalties every quarter. Behind it sat equipment and asset classes assigned by guesswork rather than the CCA schedule. We documented the positions to the standard the CRA applies to this sector specifically. Then we moved the remittance dates into a scheduled process rather than a monthly decision. Penalties stopped from the following remittance onwards, and $103,000 of overpaid instalments was refunded.
Collections had begun against a medical imaging clinic in Regina, Saskatchewan over 5 years of unfiled returns. Bringing them current cut $124,000 from the balance.
By the time a medical imaging clinic in Regina, Saskatchewan called, 5 years were outstanding. The CRA had assessed on estimates. Underneath it sat seasonal revenue reported without matching the costs that produced it. We reconstructed the records year by year. We aligned the reporting calendar with the sector’s own seasonal cycle rather than a generic year-end. Each filing replaced an arbitrary assessment with a real one. The account is current. Filing on real numbers rather than CRA estimates reduced the balance by $124,000, and a relief application addressed part of the accumulated interest.
A pharmacy in Ottawa, Ontario was filing correctly and still overpaying. The reason was sector deductions claimed on a general-business basis rather than the home care & senior care providers rules. Restructuring the position cut $59,000 from the annual bill.
A pharmacy in Ottawa, Ontario was compliant but paying more than it needed to. The prior year had been filed correctly. It still left sector deductions claimed on a general-business basis rather than the home care & senior care providers rules on the table. We modelled the current position against the alternatives before changing anything. Then we reassigned the asset classes on the CCA schedule and corrected the opening balances. The change saved $59,000 in the first year and repeats annually. Nothing about the filings became more aggressive. The position is simply the one the rules already allowed.

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.

Moving expenses are deductible where the new home is at least 40 kilometres closer to the new work location. The deduction is limited to income earned at the new location. We flag this early with every client it touches, because finding it out at filing time leaves you far fewer options than finding it out now.
There is a widespread assumption here, and the actual position is worth stating plainly. Capital losses can be carried back three years against capital gains already reported, which turns a bad year into a refund rather than a carry-forward. If your current setup was built on the assumption instead of the rule, that is fixable — but sooner is better than later.
The questions Canadians actually search on this topic, answered plainly. Browse every question in the Canadian tax answers directory.
No. Property tax is a municipal levy based on your property’s assessed value, not a charge for a service you consume, so it is not a utility bill even where a city bills water on the same statement. The difference matters when you claim expenses: for a rental or a home office, property tax and utilities are separate lines, each apportioned to the business-use share. Keep the municipal tax bill itself as your record.
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.
Federal income tax, GST/HST and excise duties flow into general revenue, which funds transfers to the provinces for health care and social programmes, benefits such as the Canada child benefit and old age security, defence, federal departments and interest on the public debt. Provincial income and sales taxes fund schools, hospitals and municipal transfers. Canada Pension Plan and Employment Insurance premiums sit in separate accounts and are not part of general revenue. The federal budget publishes the yearly split.
Your municipality sets that, not the CRA. Most Canadian municipalities issue an interim bill and a final bill each year, each payable in one or more instalments, and many also offer a monthly pre-authorised plan spread across the year. If your mortgage lender pays the tax on your behalf, you contribute a portion with each mortgage payment instead. Your tax bill or your municipality's website lists the exact instalment dates for your property.
Only for specific purposes. Fees paid to collect or establish a right to salary, wages, a pension, severance or support amounts, and fees to object to or appeal a CRA assessment, are claimed in the deductions section of the T1, on the line the CRA's guide names. Legal costs of earning business or rental income belong on the T2125 or the rental statement. Fees to acquire property are usually added to its cost instead of deducted.
Land transfer tax is not a deductible expense. On a home you live in it simply adds to what the property cost you. On a rental or business property it is a capital outlay added to the adjusted cost base, so it reduces the capital gain when you sell rather than being claimed against rent in the year of purchase. Legal fees on the purchase are treated the same way.
