Sole proprietors report business income on the T2125 inside the T1 — the June 15 filing extension does not move the April 30 payment date. Our limited partnership tax filing engagement is priced as a pocket-friendly flat fee, so the cost is known before the work starts.
Limited Partnership Tax Filing can look routine from the outside. Sit on the practitioner's side of the desk for a while and you learn which parts genuinely are routine — and which parts reward a tax services provider's full attention.
One rule does most of the work here. An expense is deductible where it was incurred to earn income and is reasonable in the circumstances. The business-use portion must be supported, which for vehicles means a logbook. The CRA rarely argues that an expense category is wrong; it argues that the proportion claimed was never substantiated.
There is a second layer to this. 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. Where clients most often get hurt is not the calculation but the follow-through, and the rule reads plainly. A partnership must file a T5013 information return once absolute revenues plus expenses exceed $2 million, or where any partner is a corporation. The return is required even though the partnership itself pays no tax.
None of this is exotic — but each point has to be applied to your facts, which is exactly what you are paying a tax filing specialist to do. Think of this list as the raw material a tax services provider works from on limited partnership tax filing.
Every limited partnership tax filing engagement carries the same commitments: a fixed fee settled before we begin, your sign-off before anything is filed, and payment only after the service is complete.

A proprietor whose spouse works in the business in Ottawa, Ontario was carrying $91,000 of penalties and interest. The charges arose from business income reported entirely on one spouse’s return despite shared operations. A relief application cancelled that amount.
An assessment of $91,000 landed at a proprietor whose spouse works in the business in Ottawa, Ontario following a desk review. It turned on business income reported entirely on one spouse’s return despite shared operations. The auditor had not seen the records behind it. We filed the section 85 election with correct elected amounts and rolled the assets in without a taxable disposition. We then set out the legislative basis for the position alongside the documents supporting it. $91,000 of penalties and interest was cancelled under the taxpayer relief provisions, and the underlying assessment was adjusted to match the filed position.
The CRA had assessed a husband-and-wife retail partnership in Halifax, Nova Scotia on estimates across 3 unfiled years. Real filings vacated $133,000 of that tax.
3 years of unfiled returns had turned into notional assessments at a husband-and-wife retail partnership in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Underneath lay a partnership that crossed the T5013 threshold two years before anyone noticed. Collections had already started. We rewrote the partnership allocation to match how the practice actually operated, effective for the following fiscal year. We then filed every outstanding year in chronological order so the CRA could vacate the notional assessments cleanly. All 3 years were accepted as filed. $133,000 of arbitrarily assessed tax was vacated, collections action stopped, and the account is current for the first time in 3 years.
An incentive review at a three-partner medical clinic in Brampton, Ontario recovered $45,000 across 6 open years. It found business income reported entirely on one spouse’s return despite shared operations.
An incentive review at a three-partner medical clinic in Brampton, Ontario started from a simple question: what has never been claimed? The answer ran to 6 years. It was driven by business income reported entirely on one spouse’s return despite shared operations. We restructured the draw policy so no partner’s adjusted cost base went negative again, and reported the deemed gain correctly for the year it arose. We documented eligibility to the standard a reviewer would apply rather than the standard a claim form requires. The credits produced $45,000 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.
An unincorporated trades business in Victoria, British Columbia expanded into a second province. The file already carried a profit split applied in practice that the written agreement did not support. Every obligation was set up in advance and $131,000 of cash released.
Revenue at an unincorporated trades business in Victoria, British Columbia was up sharply and cash was tighter than ever. Underneath it sat a profit split applied in practice that the written agreement did not support. We filed the outstanding T5013 returns with full partner allocations and requested penalty relief on the basis of the first-time nature of the failure. Every new obligation was set up before it was triggered, not after. That covered registration, remittance frequency and provincial filing. $131,000 of cash was released from the working capital cycle. The expansion completed with every registration and filing obligation covered from day one.
Remittances at a freelance developer in Kelowna, British Columbia were chronically late. It came down to three partners operating on a handshake, with no written agreement covering allocations or a departure. Fixing the schedule refunded $142,000.
Remittances at a freelance developer in Kelowna, British Columbia were consistently late by a few days. That was enough to trigger penalties every quarter. Behind it sat three partners operating on a handshake, with no written agreement covering allocations or a departure. We split the shared overhead on a documented basis, so each partner’s reported share carried only the expenses that belonged to it. Then we moved the remittance dates into a scheduled process rather than a monthly decision. Penalties stopped from the following remittance onwards, and $142,000 of overpaid instalments was refunded.
A food-truck sole proprietorship in Calgary, Alberta was 11 weeks from a deadline. The file also carried an incorporation completed without the section 85 election, triggering an unnecessary gain. Filing complete and on time avoided roughly $45,000 in penalties.
A food-truck sole proprietorship in Calgary, Alberta came to us 11 weeks before its filing deadline. The file came with an incorporation completed without the section 85 election, triggering an unnecessary gain. A late filing would have triggered a penalty of roughly $45,000 before interest. We worked backwards from the deadline. We drafted the allocation, admission and withdrawal terms into a written agreement before the next partner was admitted. We prioritised the items that actually gated the filing and deferred everything that did not. The return was filed on time and complete. The $45,000 penalty never arose, and the compliance calendar we set means the next deadline is scheduled rather than discovered.

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.
Limited Partnership Tax Filing 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 serve clients in every province and territory at the same fixed fees, 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.
Our limited partnership tax filing services include complete filing, compliance management, and strategic advice customized to Canadian tax laws.

We get this one a lot, and the answer is more concrete than people expect. An expense is deductible where it was incurred to earn income and is reasonable in the circumstances. The business-use portion must be supported, which for vehicles means a logbook. The CRA rarely argues that an expense category is wrong; it argues that the proportion claimed was never substantiated. Bring your documents and we will show you where it lands in your numbers.
Here is what the rules actually say, stripped of the folklore: 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. Our role as your tax expert is to apply that cleanly to your situation rather than to a hypothetical one.
The questions Canadians actually search on this topic, answered plainly. Browse every question in the Canadian tax answers directory.
File a T1 return for the year, sending it electronically with CRA-certified software or mailing a paper return. Gather your slips and receipts first and check them against the ones listed in My Account. For the 2025 tax year the filing and payment deadline was 30 April 2026, or 15 June 2026 to file if you or your spouse were self-employed, with payment still due 30 April 2026. CRA online filing for 2025 returns closes 29 January 2027.
Canada taxes residents on their worldwide income for the calendar year, reported by the taxpayer on a T1 return. Employers and other payers withhold tax through the year, and the return reconciles what was withheld against what is owed, producing a refund or a balance to pay. Rates are progressive and layered, federal plus provincial. Deductions lower taxable income and credits lower the tax itself. The 2025 return was due 30 April 2026.
Income tax on a business is charged on net profit, meaning revenue less reasonable business expenses, not on gross sales. A sole proprietor reports that on the T2125 and a corporation on its T2. Other taxes do not work that way: GST/HST applies to your taxable sales whatever the profit, and payroll remittances follow wages paid. A business loss can usually be applied against other income or carried forward to a later year.
You can always file, and with no income it is usually worth doing. A nil or low-income return is how you claim the GST/HST credit and provincial credits, keep the Canada child benefit flowing, and carry unused tuition forward. Filing is required if the CRA asks you to, if you owe tax, or if you disposed of property or took money out of certain registered plans. One caveat: RRSP room only builds from earned income, so a year without work adds none.
Get a social insurance number, then gather every slip, including T4, T4A, T5, tuition and rent receipts, and file a T1 return for the year. Tax software approved by the CRA for electronic filing can send it, and a first-time filer can usually file online, though the CRA sometimes requires a paper return until it has a record of you. For the 2025 year the deadline was 30 April 2026, or 15 June for self-employment with payment still due 30 April.
For the 2025 tax year the filing and payment deadline is 30 April 2026. If you or your spouse were self-employed, filing moves to 15 June 2026, but any balance is still due 30 April 2026. Online filing for 2025 opened 23 February 2026 and closes 29 January 2027. You can still file after the deadline, and you should, though interest and a late-filing penalty apply once you owe.
You must register for GST/HST and charge it once you stop qualifying as a small supplier. For 2026 the small-supplier threshold is $30,000 of taxable revenue, measured over four consecutive calendar quarters or in a single quarter. Under the four-quarter test you stay a small supplier until the end of the month following the quarter in which the trailing four-quarter total was exceeded; you must then apply to register before the day that is 30 days after the first taxable supply you make once that grace month ends, and registration takes effect on that day. Under the single-quarter test small-supplier status ends immediately on the sale that crosses $30,000, and that sale itself must carry tax. Below the threshold you may register voluntarily to recover input tax credits on your purchases.
Report it on your return even though no slip exists. Occasional employment-type pay goes on the employment income line, while work you did on your own account belongs on a T2125 as business income, where the related expenses can be claimed against it. Keep a simple log of dates, payers and amounts, and hold the records six years from the end of the last tax year they relate to. Correcting an omission voluntarily costs far less than being found.
You stay responsible. The CRA assesses penalties and interest against the taxpayer, not the preparer. File as soon as possible to stop the penalty growing, then ask the CRA to cancel or waive the penalties and interest with a taxpayer relief request on form RC4288, explaining what happened. Relief is discretionary and is refused more often where the taxpayer never followed up on the missed deadline. Recovering anything from the preparer is a separate matter between you and them.
MAT stands for Municipal Accommodation Tax, a local levy some Canadian municipalities charge on short-term accommodation such as hotel stays and short-term rentals. The operator collects it and remits it to the city or its tourism partner, which is why it sits as a separate line beside GST or HST on your bill. Rates and what counts as covered accommodation are set municipality by municipality, so check that city's own accommodation tax page.
Casual sales of your own used belongings are not income. But if you buy in order to resell, or sell repeatedly with a profit motive, that is business income reported on a T2125, and platform and auction sales are included. A gain on a valuable personal item can be a taxable capital gain. Streaming, PayPal and similar receipts are business income in Canadian dollars and count towards the $30,000 GST/HST small-supplier threshold, which is unchanged for 2026. Personal cash-back rewards are generally not taxable.
No. Only one claim for the amount for an eligible dependant is allowed for each dependant, and only one per household in a year, so separated parents cannot both claim the same child. Where two or more children live with each parent under a shared arrangement, each parent may claim a different child. A parent required to pay child support for that child generally cannot claim the amount. The dependant's net income reduces what you can claim.
