FAQ

Common Questions About Corporate Tax Filing

When is my T2 corporate tax return due?

Your T2 is due 6 months after your corporation's fiscal year-end. For example, if your year-end is December 31, your T2 is due June 30. However, any tax owing is due within 2–3 months of year-end to avoid interest charges. We help you plan instalments to avoid these costs.

How much does corporate tax filing cost?

We charge a flat fee based on your corporate complexity — number of transactions, schedules required, and whether bookkeeping is already clean. Fees start from $800 for simple CCPCs. Book a free consultation and we'll give you an exact quote with no obligation.

Can I choose my own fiscal year-end?

Yes — corporations can choose any fiscal year-end (unlike individuals who must use December 31). Choosing a year-end that aligns with your slow season can improve cash flow and give more time for year-end planning. We can advise you on the best choice for your business.

What's the difference between salary and dividends for a corporation owner?

Salary reduces corporate income and creates RRSP contribution room and CPP benefits, but is taxed as personal income. Dividends are paid from after-tax corporate profits at a lower personal rate but don't create RRSP room. The optimal split depends on your income level, RRSP room, and retirement goals — we calculate the best mix for your situation every year.

Does Vertex handle corporations with employees and payroll?

Yes. We can handle your T2 filing alongside payroll processing, T4 preparation, and GST/HST filing — giving you one accountant for all your compliance needs. Ask us about bundled pricing when you book your consultation.

My books are a mess — can you still file my T2?

Absolutely. We offer catch-up bookkeeping as part of our T2 service. We'll reconcile your accounts, organize your records, and then prepare and file your corporate return — all in one engagement. This is a common situation and we're experienced at working through it efficiently.

What Is a T2 Corporate Tax Return?

A T2 is the corporate income tax return required by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for all incorporated businesses in Canada. Every corporation must file a T2, even if it had no income during the year. Additionally, Ontario corporations must also meet provincial filing requirements. Therefore, working with a qualified Toronto corporate tax accountant is essential. Errors or late filings can result in penalties and interest charges from the CRA.

Toronto Corporate Tax Deadlines

Missing a corporate tax deadline can result in costly CRA penalties. Therefore, it is important to know your key dates. For most Canadian corporations, the T2 return is due six months after the fiscal year end. However, any balance owing is due within two months of the fiscal year end. Additionally, corporations eligible for the small business deduction have three months to pay. Our team tracks your deadlines and ensures everything is filed on time.
