Tax compliance gets you covered. Tax strategy gets you ahead.
By the time you file your T2, most of your opportunities for the year have already passed. We build proactive, year-round corporate tax planning strategies for incorporated Canadian business owners, reducing unnecessary tax legally while keeping your business fully CRA-compliant.
Tax filing is not tax planning.
Tax filing reports what already happened. Corporate tax planning shapes what happens before the year closes. Most business owners do not realize how many legitimate opportunities exist to reduce their tax burden, not because the rules are hidden, but because nobody is looking for them year-round. We are.
How your business is structured directly impacts how much tax you pay. We review your setup, identify structural inefficiencies, and recommend changes that improve your overall tax position without disrupting operations.
Salary, dividends, and hybrid approaches each carry different implications at both the corporate and personal level. We align both sides to determine the approach that maximizes what you keep, not just what looks good on a T2.
Most businesses claim the obvious expenses. Many miss legitimate deductions available under CRA rules. We conduct a detailed review of your expense structure and ensure every eligible deduction is captured.
Some of the most effective corporate tax strategy decisions are about timing. When income is recognized, when expenses are incurred, and how year-end numbers are positioned. We work with you before your fiscal year closes, while options still exist.
The Small Business Deduction provides a significantly reduced corporate tax rate on the first $500,000 of active business income for eligible CCPCs. We ensure you are accessing it correctly and not inadvertently losing it.
SR&ED investment tax credits, apprenticeship credits, and other Canadian incentive programs. Many go unclaimed because they are not identified proactively. We assess your eligibility and ensure every available credit is captured.
Business losses, managed correctly, can offset income across multiple years. We apply net capital loss strategies in a way that improves your overall tax position over time rather than treating a difficult year as a missed opportunity.
As your business grows, your small business tax planning needs to evolve with it. We stay connected throughout the year, advising on major decisions, reviewing your position, and adjusting your approach as things change.
What does your current tax position actually look like ?
Most business owners do not know until their accountant tells them what they owe. By then, the planning window is closed. Let us review your position before that happens.
