A rolling thirteen-week cash-flow forecast is the single most used tool in our advisory work — it is what keeps payroll safe through a slow quarter. Because the fee is fixed and low-cost, the economics stay predictable whether your file is simple or messy.
What follows is the working view of a tax preparation specialist who prepares financial model development week in, week out — the points that decide real files.
One rule does more work than the rest combined, so it goes first. Gross margin by product or service line, not overall revenue, is what tells an owner which work to take more of. A business can grow revenue and lose money at the same time.
Once that is settled, the next question answers itself less often than clients expect. A rolling thirteen-week cash-flow forecast is the single most-used tool in advisory work: it is what shows whether payroll is safe through a slow quarter, and it beats an annual budget in every month that matters. And on timing: A small corporation still carries the full compliance set: T2, GST/HST, payroll, and the annual return with the incorporating jurisdiction. The annual corporate return is separate from the T2 and is the one most often forgotten, which can lead to administrative dissolution.
What this means for you depends entirely on facts we have not seen yet — which is the honest answer, and the reason a tax preparation specialist starts every financial model development engagement with questions rather than conclusions. The engagement goes fastest when last year’s filings and the current ledger arrive together.
We keep the commercial side simple. The fee is fixed and agreed in advance, the file is reviewed with you before filing, and you pay after the service — in that order, every time.

A family business planning succession in Mississauga, Ontario was overpaying instalments because of pricing set by feel, with no visibility into margin by service line. Rebasing them returned $45,000 to the business.
An owner running the business without a cash-flow forecast in Burnaby, British Columbia was under review over a covenant breach discovered only when the bank called. The file closed in 4 weeks with $143,000 of proposed tax cleared.
The CRA had assessed a business whose margin varies by service line in Kelowna, British Columbia on estimates across 6 unfiled years. Real filings vacated $29,500 of that tax.
A corporation approaching a covenant test date in Winnipeg, Manitoba had already been penalised over a growth plan with no forecast behind it and no financing lined up. A relief application cancelled $34,000 of that penalty.
A remuneration review at a company hiring its first finance staff in Kitchener, Ontario found a healthy bank balance made up almost entirely of deposits for work not yet performed and saved $60,000 across the corporate and personal returns.
An incentive review at a mid-sized professional services firm in Toronto, Ontario found a borrowing drawn for an unrelated personal purchase with the interest claimed against the business and recovered $43,000 across 6 open years.

Same fixed fees in every province. Find your city or your sector.
Direct answers to what Canadian business owners actually ask before hiring an accountant.
Financial Model Development starts at a fixed fee quoted before any work begins. The quote is locked at the outset and does not change mid-engagement, and you pay only after you have reviewed and approved the deliverable. Compare every plan on our transparent pricing page.
At minimum: prior-year returns and notices of assessment, your bank and credit-card statements for the fiscal period, payroll records if you have employees, and GST/HST filings. We send a checklist tailored to your situation after the free 15-minute call.
Most engagements are completed within 3 to 5 business days once your documents are complete. Catch-up work covering multiple years takes longer, and we tell you the realistic timeline before you commit rather than after.
We respond on your behalf at no extra charge for any return we prepared. Every figure we file is supported by documentation retained in your file, which is what turns a CRA review from a crisis into correspondence. See how our CRA audit representation works.
Yes. Late filing penalties compound at 5% of the balance owing plus 1% per month, so the cost of waiting is real. We prioritise catch-up work and, where eligible, file under the CRA's Voluntary Disclosures Program to reduce penalties.
Yes. We are a cloud-based practice serving every province and territory, so your location does not change the price or the service. Browse our coverage across Canada to find your city.
We work across construction, healthcare, e-commerce, professional services, restaurants, real estate, transportation, technology and non-profits, each with its own deduction profile and CRA scrutiny patterns. See all industries we serve.
Software applies the rules you already know about. An experienced tax accountant finds the ones you do not: capital cost allowance timing, the small business deduction threshold, shareholder loan repayment rules, and TOSI exposure on family dividends. The fee is usually smaller than the deductions it surfaces.

You are asking the right question, and it has a real answer. Interest is deductible where the borrowed money is used to earn income from a business or property, and the test is what the money actually funded. The paper trail linking each borrowing to its use is what supports the deduction when the loan and the spending sit years apart. What we add on top of that is the paperwork discipline that makes the answer stand up if anyone ever asks you to prove it.
Let us give you the substance first and the caveats second. Amounts received for services not yet performed are included in income when received, with a reserve available only where the statutory conditions are met. A cash balance built out of customer prepayments can carry a tax liability inside it, which is why deferred revenue is not a financing source. The caveat is simply that facts on your file can shift the outcome, so treat this as the baseline rather than the final word.
The questions Canadians actually search on this topic, answered plainly. Browse every question in the Canadian tax answers directory.
A tax return is the annual filing that reports your income, deductions and credits to the CRA so the final tax for the year can be settled. Payers withhold tax during the year and the return reconciles that against what you actually owe, producing either a refund or a balance to pay. For 2025 returns filed in 2026, refunds usually arrive in about two weeks for an online return, while a paper return runs on a considerably longer standard because it is handled manually.
Income tax is tax charged on the income you earn in a year, levied by both the federal government and your province or territory. Rates are graduated, so successive slices of taxable income are taxed at higher rates, and credits such as the basic personal amount reduce the tax calculated. Employment income is taxed through payroll withholding and settled on your T1 return. Quebec residents also file a separate provincial return with Revenu Quebec.
Most people file electronically with software the CRA approves for NETFILE, or have a preparer send the return through EFILE. Paper filing is still accepted and takes far longer to process. Before starting, set up My Account, confirm your direct deposit details, and download the slips the CRA already holds so your return matches its records. For the 2025 tax year the deadline was 30 April 2026, with any balance owing due the same day; a 2025 return not yet filed is late, so file it now to stop the late-filing penalty growing.
There is no single percentage. Your employer applies the federal withholding table plus the table for your province or territory, using pay frequency, your annual rate of pay and the amounts claimed on your federal and provincial TD1 forms, then adds CPP contributions and EI premiums until the annual maximums are met. Pension contributions, union dues and benefit premiums come off separately. The CRA's Payroll Deductions Online Calculator reproduces the exact figures shown on your stub.
Pay through your bank's online banking by adding the CRA as a payee and choosing the right account and year, through My Payment with a debit card, by pre-authorised debit scheduled in My Account, by credit card through a third-party provider that charges its own fee, or at a bank counter with a remittance voucher. For 2025 personal returns the payment deadline was 30 April 2026, including for the self-employed, and interest runs daily on anything unpaid after that.
The basic personal amount is a non-refundable credit that shelters a base level of income from federal tax, so income below it carries no federal tax. The amount is indexed every year, and the enhanced portion is phased out across the second-highest federal bracket, so taxpayers in the top bracket receive only the base amount. Each province and territory sets its own version. On Form TD1 you claim it so your employer withholds less; claim it with one employer only, or too little tax is withheld.
Sign in to CRA My Account, go to the tax returns area and open the assessed return for the year you need. The T1 General is the return itself, so the copy you download there is what lenders, landlords and immigration officers usually ask for, normally alongside the notice of assessment. If the year is too old to appear online, request a copy by phone or in writing and expect it by mail.
As of 2026 the harmonised sales tax is 13% in Ontario and 15% in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island. Nova Scotia has been 14% since 1 April 2025, down from 15%. The other provinces and territories are not harmonised: GST is 5%, with British Columbia PST at 7%, Saskatchewan PST at 6%, Manitoba RST at 7% and Quebec QST at 9.975% on the pre-GST price. Alberta and the territories charge GST only.
Call the individual or business tax enquiries line listed on the CRA's Contact us page, then work through the automated menu to reach an agent. Have your social insurance number or business number, your date of birth and a line amount from your last assessed return ready, because the agent cannot discuss your file without them. Wait times are longest right after the filing deadline. My Account answers many questions without a call.
Interest is compounded daily on the unpaid amount from the day after the payment deadline until you pay in full. The rate is the CRA's prescribed rate, which is reset every calendar quarter, so a balance carried across quarters is charged at more than one rate. Interest also accrues on any penalty. Because the rate moves, use the CRA's prescribed interest rates page for the quarter in question rather than an old figure.
HST applies only in Ontario at 13%, Nova Scotia at 14% since 1 April 2025, and New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island at 15%. Everywhere else the federal GST of 5% applies on its own or beside a separate provincial tax: British Columbia PST 7%, Saskatchewan 6%, Manitoba RST 7%, and Quebec QST 9.975% charged on the pre-GST price. Alberta and the three territories charge GST only.
A large refund means you lent the government money for a year at no interest, while a small balance owing means you kept the use of your own cash. Landing near zero is the efficient outcome. Two cautions apply. Any balance must be paid by the deadline or compound daily interest starts running, and owing a significant amount repeatedly can push you into required instalments, where interest is charged on payments you did not make.
