I used Bestax for corporate taxes and honestly the process was so much easier than I expected. They explained everything in simple language, no jargon, and the filing was done on time. I felt confident leaving it in their hands.

I recently started my own tattoo parlor, and these guys helped me out from day one. They walked me through setting up my business and gave me sound advice on handling my accounting. What I like most is that they don’t try to oversell you things you don’t need. You can tell they’re more interested

Frequently Asked Questions
Do all corporations have to file a T2 return?
Yes. Every resident corporation in Canada must file a T2 return each year, even non-profits, inactive companies, and tax-exempt entities. You must file even if no tax is owed.
What is the filing deadline for corporate tax returns?
You must file your T2 return within six months after your fiscal year-end. For example, if your year ends on December 31, your deadline is June 30. Filing late can lead to penalties and interest.
Do I have to file electronically?
Yes. For tax years starting after 2023, most corporations must file electronically. Failing to do so can lead to CRA penalties of up to $1,000. Bestax ensures your return is filed correctly and on time.
What is the difference between the T2 and the T2 Short Return?
The standard T2 return is nine pages long and applies to most corporations. The T2 Short Return is a two-page form for certain Canadian-controlled private corporations with nil returns, losses, or tax-exempt status.
What if I owe less than $3,000 in taxes?
If you owe less than $3,000, you usually pay the balance in full. If you owe more and earn under $500,000, the CRA may require monthly or quarterly instalments. Bestax helps you plan and manage these payments.
Can I claim the small business deduction?
Yes, if your company is a Canadian-controlled private corporation. This deduction lowers the federal tax rate on up to $500,000 of active business income. Bestax checks your eligibility and applies it correctly.
What documents do I need to file my T2 return?
You’ll need your financial statements (income statement, balance sheet, cash flow), bookkeeping records, receipts, T-slips, and your corporate minute book. These documents keep your filing complete and accurate.
Do non-resident corporations need to file a T2?
Yes, if they do business in Canada or earn taxable capital gains here. Bestax can review your situation and make sure you meet CRA filing rules.
Why is a minute book important?
Minute books are required under Canadian corporate law. They record board meetings, shareholder resolutions, and major company actions. Keeping them updated supports compliance and simplifies tax filing.
How can a corporate tax accountant help me save money?
A skilled tax accountant knows which deductions, credits, and CRA rules apply to your company. Bestax helps you lower taxes, file electronically, and stay penalty-free through accurate and timely filings.
