The personal real estate corporation's books and year-end T2 are handled, with owner-pay planning built in.
Why Kingston real estate agents choose taxifi
Kingston's demand is anchored by institutions — the university, the hospitals, the military, corrections — and its heritage housing stock keeps skilled local businesses busy year-round. It is a smaller market where reputation travels fast, and where owners tend to know their customers better than they know their numbers.
For Kingston's real estate agents, the day-to-day reality is commission income that arrives in lumps while the expenses never stop. taxifi's AI keeps the books current every day and a Canadian accountant reviews and signs the filings, so instalments and the PREC question get planned instead of discovered.
Common questions
Do I charge HST on my commissions?
Yes — real estate commissions are a taxable service, so once you're past the $30,000 small-supplier threshold you register and charge HST, and the HST you pay on marketing, brokerage fees, and the business share of your vehicle comes back as input tax credits. For a busy Kingston agent, uncaptured credits are one of the most common ways money quietly leaks.
My income is irregular. How do I avoid CRA instalment surprises?
A big commission year can create instalment obligations the following year — CRA sizes them from your recent history, not your current pipeline — and agents get caught paying last year's success out of this year's slower months. Books that are current let your accountant size set-asides to reality all year, so the instalment notices are expected, funded, and boring.
Is taxifi a fit for a smaller Kingston business, or is it built for big companies?
It is built for exactly this size of business — incorporated, owner-run, a handful of staff or none. The flat monthly price is scoped to your actual volume, so a Kingston business isn't paying for capacity it doesn't use. Bigger only means the quote is revisited.
I already have a bookkeeper or accountant in Kingston. How hard is switching?
The switch is free: we deal with your current provider directly, collect your file and history, and take over the monthly work. Any catch-up is scoped and priced before you commit. Your part is about an hour, and mid-year is fine.
