T4 slips and the T4 Summary are due the last day of February; each missed slip carries its own penalty, scaled to how many are late. CRA interest on unpaid balances compounds daily at the prescribed rate plus 4%, which is why filing on time matters even when you cannot pay yet. Our t4 tax return filing engagement is priced as a cheap flat fee, so the cost is known before the work starts.
T4 Tax Return 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 consultant's full attention.
Ask any tax consultant where t4 tax return filing files go sideways, and the answer usually traces back to this: T1 returns are due April 30 — June 15 for the self-employed — but any balance owing accrues interest from April 30 regardless of which filing deadline applies.
There is a second layer to this. The late-filing penalty is 5% of the balance owing plus 1% for each full month late, to a maximum of twelve months. A second late filing within three years doubles both figures. The penalty is calculated on the balance owing, so a late return with nothing owing costs nothing — which is why filing on time matters even when you cannot pay. The last of the major rules is about when, not what. 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.
Reading rules is one thing; knowing which of them your file actually triggers is another. A tax filing specialist closes that gap, and for t4 tax return filing the gap is often wider than it looks. To keep the engagement efficient, assemble these records before we begin.
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.

The ledger at a taxpayer claiming a dependant's transferred disability amount in Ottawa, Ontario could not support its own filings because of RRSP room accumulated over eight years and never used in a high-income year. Rebuilding it surfaced $10,000 in unclaimed input tax.
Growth at a recently separated taxpayer in Guelph, Ontario had outrun the back office, and years of small donation receipts claimed one at a time instead of pooled onto a single return broke first. Headcount reached 66 with $150,000 of cash freed.
A desk review assessed a taxpayer with US-source dividends in Kitchener, Ontario $14,500 over medical expenses claimed on a calendar-year basis when a shifted window was worth far more. Producing the records vacated it.
A two-income household with rental property in Surrey, British Columbia was profitable and permanently short of cash, with foreign accounts that had crossed the T1135 threshold two years earlier behind the gap. Restructuring the tax cycle freed $76,000.
A gig-economy driver in Calgary, Alberta faced a $30,500 proposed reassessment after employment expenses claimed with no signed T2200 from the employer to support them. We rebuilt the documentation and the adjustment was withdrawn in full.
7 years of returns were outstanding at an employee who moved provinces mid-year in Windsor, Ontario, on top of a rental property reported without any capital cost allowance analysis. Filing on real numbers removed $76,000 of assessed tax.

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.
T4 Tax Return 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 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. 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. 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. Moving expenses are deductible where the new home is at least 40 kilometres closer to the new work location, and the deduction is limited to income earned at the new location. 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 deduction is an amount subtracted from your income before tax is worked out, so it reduces the income being taxed rather than the tax bill directly. Its worth depends on your marginal rate: the higher the rate, the more the deduction saves. Common examples are RRSP contributions, child care costs, union dues, moving expenses and business expenses. Credits work the other way, reducing the tax calculated on that income.
CRA online filing for 2025 returns opened on 23 February 2026 and stays open until 29 January 2027. You can prepare a return before the service opens, but it cannot be transmitted, and slips such as T4s and T5s often arrive only in late February. Filing early makes sense if you expect a refund. If you expect a balance owing, you can still file early and pay by 30 April 2026.
Most tax saving comes from a short list of levers: contributing to an RRSP or a spousal RRSP, holding investments inside a TFSA, FHSA or RESP so growth is sheltered, claiming every deduction and credit you actually qualify for, and splitting income where the rules allow, such as pension income splitting. Business owners add expense timing and salary versus dividend planning. Order matters, so decide before year end rather than at filing time.
Property tax on the home you live in is not deductible. It becomes deductible only where the property earns income: the full amount against the rental income of a property you rent out, the rented or business proportion of a mixed-use property, and the workspace share when you run a business from home. Business and farm properties follow the same principle. Keep the municipal bills, because the CRA can ask to see them.
Payroll liabilities are amounts you owe because you paid staff but have not yet handed over: income tax, CPP and EI withheld from pay, the employer's share of CPP and EI, and accrued wages and vacation pay. Withheld amounts are held in trust, so late remittance draws penalties and interest. For 2026, CPP is 5.95% each for employee and employer, and EI is $1.63 per $100 for employees with the employer paying 1.4 times that.
Yes. The CRA accepts late returns, and filing late is far better than not filing. If you owe money, the late-filing penalty is 5% of the balance plus 1% for each full month the return is late, up to 12 months, and interest runs on the unpaid amount from the day after the payment deadline. If you owe nothing there is no late-filing penalty, but benefit and credit payments that depend on the return can be interrupted until it is assessed.
Yes. Toilet paper is an ordinary household product, not a basic grocery, so GST/HST applies at the rate for the province of purchase: 5% GST in Alberta, 13% HST in Ontario, 15% in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island, and 14% in Nova Scotia from 1 April 2025. Provincial sales tax may apply on top in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec.
GST is the federal 5% goods and services tax, charged across Canada for 2026. HST is that same federal tax combined with a participating province's sales tax into one rate: 13% in Ontario, 14% in Nova Scotia since 1 April 2025, and 15% in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island. Registration, input tax credits, and the treatment of exempt and zero-rated supplies are identical, and both go on the same return. Place of supply decides which you charge.
Ontario residents claim the federal deductions and credits on the T1 first, then Ontario's own credits on the provincial schedules. Those include an energy and property tax credit for rent or property tax paid, a northern energy credit for eligible northern residents, a credit for seniors' care at home, and a low-income tax reduction. The Ontario list changes from year to year, so check the current provincial schedule. Common federal claims are RRSP contributions, medical expenses, donations, tuition, childcare and moving costs.
Yes, but most students pay no tax on them. A scholarship, fellowship or bursary is reported to you on a T4A. If it relates to a program for which you qualify for the full-time education amount, the scholarship exemption normally removes all of it from taxable income; part-time programs get a narrower exemption tied to your course costs. Research grants and amounts outside a qualifying program are handled differently, so check the CRA's scholarship exemption page.
Yes, if the loan is in default. The federal government can apply an income tax refund against amounts you owe it, including a defaulted Canada Student Loan, through a refund set-off. The CRA carries out the offset, so it happens before the refund reaches your bank account and you receive a notice explaining what was applied. Bringing the loan back into good standing, or agreeing a repayment arrangement with the loan service centre, stops future refunds being taken.
The CRA charges compound daily interest on an unpaid balance starting the day after the payment deadline, at the prescribed arrears rate it sets each quarter. Because that rate is reset quarterly, check the current figure on the CRA site rather than relying on one you saw last year. The same interest applies to late instalments and to penalties already charged. Paying part of the balance now reduces the interest accruing on the rest.
