The problem with a once-a-year tax accountant
The traditional arrangement is that you see your tax accountant once, after the year has closed, when every decision that affected your bill has already been made. They file what happened. Nobody was there in July when the choice between salary and dividends was still open.
Filing is the easy part. The money is made in the twelve months before it, and that only works if whoever prepares the return also has current books and is available when a question comes up.
The same team that keeps your books files your tax
Because taxifi does the bookkeeping, the HST, the payroll remittances, and the year-end corporate tax return, nothing is handed between providers and nothing is re-keyed. Your return is built on books that were already reconciled, so year-end is a review rather than a reconstruction.
Every filing is reviewed and signed by a Canadian accountant who is professionally accountable for it, and filings go to CRA only under the authorization you sign. taxifi is CRA EFILE authorized.
What gets filed, and when
Your corporate tax return is due six months after your fiscal year end, with the balance owing due two or three months after year end depending on whether you qualify for the small business deduction. HST is filed monthly, quarterly, or annually depending on your reporting period. Payroll source deductions are due by the fifteenth of the month after you pay your team, and T4 and T4A slips are due by the end of February.
Those dates all sit inside the monthly service, which is the point. Deadlines stop being something you track. If you want the full calendar, our small business tax calendar lays out every date in one place.
Planning is part of it, not an extra
Tax planning is included in the monthly price, not billed by the hour. The recurring questions for an owner-managed corporation are how to pay yourself, whether to take money out as a shareholder loan, when instalments start, and how to handle a vehicle or a home office. Those get answered when you ask, in the year they matter.
Our guides on salary versus dividends, shareholder loan rules, and corporate tax instalments cover the mechanics if you want to read ahead.
