Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most common questions businesses ask about corporate tax filing, deadlines, CRA requirements, and what to bring to a corporate tax appointment. These questions also come up when a corporation is behind on filings or the bookkeeping needs to be reviewed before the return is prepared.
Do inactive corporations still have to file a T2 return?
Yes. Most resident corporations, including many inactive corporations, still have to file a T2 return for every tax year, even if there is no tax payable. See the CRA’s T2 filing requirements for details.
When is a corporate tax return due?
A T2 corporate tax return is generally due within 6 months of the corporation’s year-end. If the year-end falls on the last day of a month, the filing deadline is the last day of the sixth month after year-end. See the CRA’s corporate tax return deadline guide for timing examples.
When is the corporate tax balance due?
The balance owing is generally due 2 months after year-end, or 3 months after year-end for eligible CCPCs that meet CRA’s conditions. Most corporations also have to file electronically. See the CRA’s T2 electronic filing rules for current requirements.
Do you offer consultations for new corporate clients?
Yes. We are accepting new corporate tax clients, including businesses that need current-year filings, catch-up work, bookkeeping support, or CRA correspondence help.
What documents should I bring to my first corporate tax appointment?
Please bring your prior-year corporate return if available, year-end financial information, bookkeeping records, GST/HST details, payroll information if applicable, and any CRA correspondence you have received.
Can you also help with bookkeeping or owner-manager tax planning?
Yes. We can connect your corporate tax work with Bookkeeping, Incorporation, and Personal Tax support when those services are also part of your file.
