The first fiscal year-end must fall within 53 weeks of incorporation and sets every future filing deadline, so it is worth choosing deliberately. We quote share issuance record support as one low-cost fixed price — the budget-friendly alternative to hourly billing.
Most of what goes wrong with share issuance record support goes wrong before anyone opens the software. As a tax specialist, that is where these notes on Share Issuance Record Support begin.
One rule does most of the work here. A federal corporation must file an annual return with Corporations Canada that is entirely separate from its T2. Missing it repeatedly leads to administrative dissolution.
There is a second layer to this. The first fiscal year-end must fall within 53 weeks of incorporation and sets every future filing deadline. It is worth choosing deliberately rather than defaulting to December 31. The third rule is where the real exposure hides. A corporation needs its own CRA program accounts: RC for corporate income tax, RT for GST/HST, RP for payroll. Each has its own registration and filing obligations.
What this means in practice: the rules themselves are public, but applying them to your situation is where a tax specialist earns the fee. Two files can read the same rules and land in very different places. Gather whatever records touch the numbers — statements, ledgers, prior-year filings — and we take it from there.
The fee is fixed and agreed before any work starts, you review every figure, and payment happens only after the work is done.

A corporation registering its CRA program accounts in Lethbridge, Alberta had never tested its work against the eligibility rules. The resulting $59,000 claim was accepted without adjustment.
A corporation registering its CRA program accounts in Lethbridge, Alberta assumed the credits did not apply to a business its size. A December 31 year-end chosen by default that put the balance due at the worst point in the cash cycle meant they had applied all along. We identified the qualifying activity and built the documentation to support it. Then we opened the register of individuals with significant control and put its review on the same annual cycle as the corporate annual return. $59,000 recovered. Because the eligibility analysis is on file, the same claim can be repeated each year with a fraction of the effort.
A contractor incorporating for liability reasons in Edmonton, Alberta was under review. The issue was a corporation dissolved administratively for missed annual returns while still operating. The file closed in 6 weeks with $67,000 of proposed tax cleared.
A contractor incorporating for liability reasons in Edmonton, Alberta was selected for review. A corporation dissolved administratively for missed annual returns while still operating had shown up in the CRA's automated matching. The proposed adjustment on share issuance record support came to $67,000. We reconstructed the minute book with resolutions for each historical dividend and share transaction. Every figure in the response traced to a source record the auditor could verify without asking a second question. The review closed with no change. $67,000 of proposed tax came off the table, and the documentation now in place makes the next review a short one.
A professional forming a professional corporation in Halifax, Nova Scotia was scaling. The growth exposed a single class of common shares that made income splitting impossible. The back office was rebuilt to match, freeing $112,000.
A professional forming a professional corporation in Halifax, Nova Scotia was opening in a second province. That meant different filing obligations and a different payroll regime. A single class of common shares that made income splitting impossible already sat in the file. We separated the corporate registry deadlines from the CRA deadlines on one calendar, with a named person responsible for each. We then put monthly reporting in place. That let the owner see the cash effect of growth while there was still time to act on it. Growth was absorbed without a compliance failure. $112,000 of cash was released, and the monthly reporting now flags a problem while it is still small.
A remuneration review at a founder setting up a holding structure in Regina, Saskatchewan saved $28,000 across the corporate and personal returns. It found a register of individuals with significant control that had never been opened, let alone updated.
Nothing was wrong at a founder setting up a holding structure in Regina, Saskatchewan. The filings were on time and accurate. What they were not was planned. A register of individuals with significant control that had never been opened, let alone updated had never been reviewed. We tested each intended dividend recipient against the excluded-amount tests before any dividend was declared, and recorded which test was being relied on. We ran the numbers across both the corporate and personal returns, so the saving was real rather than deferred into someone else's hands. $28,000 came off the combined corporate and personal tax bill, and the structure holds for future years without further work.
An owner registering extra-provincially in a second province in Moncton, New Brunswick was overpaying instalments. The cause was a December 31 year-end chosen by default that put the balance due at the worst point in the cash cycle. Rebasing them returned $21,500 to the business.
An owner registering extra-provincially in a second province in Moncton, New Brunswick was paying instalments calculated on a prior year. That year no longer reflected the business. A December 31 year-end chosen by default that put the balance due at the worst point in the cash cycle was tying up $21,500 of cash. We rebased the instalments on the current-year estimate rather than the prior-year default. Alongside that, we selected a year-end that put the balance-due date after the seasonal cash peak, then registered every program account the business actually needed. $21,500 of cash stayed in the business, the penalty cycle ended, and the instalment position is reviewed each quarter against actual results.
The ledger at a corporation choosing its first fiscal year-end in Toronto, Ontario could not support its own filings. The reason was GST/HST collected for eight months before the RT account was ever opened. Rebuilding it surfaced $8,500 in unclaimed input tax.
A corporation choosing its first fiscal year-end in Toronto, Ontario could not answer basic questions about its own numbers. GST/HST collected for eight months before the RT account was ever opened sat between the bank statements and the ledger. We filed the change of registered office and the director changes, so registry correspondence reached someone who read it. We then documented the process so the work does not depend on any one person remembering how it was done. Records rebuilt and reconciled, $8,500 recovered in input tax credits that the old file could not support, and a documented monthly process now in place.

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.
Share Issuance Record Support 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 share issuance record support services include complete filing, compliance management, and strategic advice customized to Canadian tax laws.

It depends less on opinion than owners assume. A federal corporation must file an annual return with Corporations Canada that is entirely separate from its T2. Missing it repeatedly leads to administrative dissolution. Once you know that, the practical question becomes timing and documentation — both of which we handle inside the engagement.
Here is what the rules actually say, stripped of the folklore: The first fiscal year-end must fall within 53 weeks of incorporation and sets every future filing deadline. It is worth choosing deliberately rather than defaulting to December 31. Our role as your accountant 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.
There is no single rate. Federal personal income tax for 2026 runs through five brackets: 14%, then 20.5%, 26%, 29% and 33% on the highest band, and your province's brackets stack on top, so your combined marginal rate is the federal rate plus the provincial one. The 2026 federal basic personal amount is $16,452, tapering to $14,829 as net income rises from $181,440 to $258,482. Capital gains and Canadian dividends are taxed on a different basis.
CRA online filing for 2025 returns opened 23 February 2026 and closes 29 January 2027. Most people file between late February and the 30 April 2026 deadline, and that stretch is what tax season refers to. You can gather documents and prepare a return earlier, but it cannot be sent electronically before the system opens. Employment and investment slips such as T4 and T5 are issued by payers early in the year, and the CRA's Auto-fill service can pull the ones it already holds once you have set up My Account.
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.
A T2 corporate return is due six months after the fiscal year end, whichever month that falls in. The balance owing comes earlier: two months after year end, or three months for an eligible Canadian-controlled private corporation claiming the small business deduction. Filing late costs 5% of the unpaid balance plus 1% per month for up to 12 months. For tax years beginning after 2023, electronic filing is mandatory for essentially all corporations whatever their gross revenue — the old $1 million threshold no longer applies — and paper-filing a return that had to be filed electronically carries a $1,000 penalty.
A balance owing means the tax withheld or paid by instalments during the year came to less than the tax your return calculates. Common causes are two employers each withholding as though theirs was your only job, self-employment or gig income with nothing withheld, investment or rental income, an RRSP or RRIF withdrawal where only the base amount was held back, pension and OAS payments taken without deductions, or a benefit you have to repay.
The route depends on the structure. A sole proprietor or partner reports business income on Form T2125 and files it with the personal T1 return; for the 2025 year the self-employed filing deadline was 15 June 2026, while any balance owing was due 30 April 2026. An incorporated business files a separate T2 corporate return for each fiscal year, due six months after that year end, on top of whatever the owner reports personally.
HST applies to most goods and services supplied in a participating province: retail goods, restaurant meals, professional and personal services, commercial rent, admissions, telecom and new housing. It does not apply to zero-rated items such as basic groceries, prescription drugs and most exports, or to exempt supplies such as residential rent, most health and dental care, tuition and municipal transit. The rate follows the province of supply, 13% in Ontario and 14% in Nova Scotia from 1 April 2025.
Call the benefit enquiries line, but check My Account first: it shows your payment dates and amounts, and any letter asking you to prove marital status, residency or who the child lives with. Most stopped or reduced payments trace back to an unfiled return, because entitlement is recalculated every July from both partners' returns for the previous year. File the missing return and payments generally restart, with back payments where you still qualify.
The CRA opens online filing in late February and begins processing returns then. For the 2025 tax year, online filing opened on 23 February 2026 and closes on 29 January 2027. Filing early does not usually get you a refund sooner than the two-week online processing window, but it does confirm benefit and credit payments that depend on your assessed return. Slips from employers and payers are generally available by then.
Scholarships, fellowships and bursaries are income, but a scholarship exemption usually removes the tax. A student enrolled full time in a qualifying educational program can generally exempt the whole amount received for that program, so nothing is added to taxable income. Part-time students get a narrower exemption tied to tuition and program costs. Amounts that are really payment for work, such as a stipend for research services, do not qualify and stay taxable.
Personal rate and bracket changes almost always apply from 1 January of the tax year, so 2026 rates apply to income earned in 2026 and show up on the return you file in 2027. Federal 2026 brackets start at 14%. Corporate changes can land mid-year: Ontario's small business rate is 3.2% and falls to 2.2% effective 1 July 2026, and a fiscal year straddling that date is prorated between the two rates.
Sign in to My Business Account and use the option to add a business, then enter the business number. The CRA links it once it can confirm you are an owner, director or authorised officer of that business. If the business has no number yet, register one first through Business Registration Online. Someone acting for the business instead needs a Represent a Client authorisation, which the owner confirms from their own My Business Account.
