Common Tax Questions
Quick answers to what business owners ask most often
When are corporate tax returns due in Canada?
Corporate tax returns are generally due 6 months after the fiscal year-end. However, tax payments are due earlier. Knowing these dates prevents penalties and helps with cash flow planning.
What’s the GST/HST registration threshold?
You must register when your revenue reaches $30,000 over any 4 consecutive quarters. Some businesses choose to register voluntarily even below this threshold to claim input tax credits.
How often do I file GST/HST returns?
Filing frequency depends on your annual GST/HST revenue. Most businesses file quarterly, but high-volume businesses may file monthly. Some small businesses can file annually.
What documents should I keep for a CRA audit?
Keep all business records for at least 6 years: invoices, receipts, bank statements, payroll records, and expense documentation. Organized records make audits straightforward and protect your business.
Can I deduct home office expenses?
Yes, but the rules are specific. You can use either the simplified method or detailed calculation. Both are legitimate — it depends on your situation and what gives the better deduction.
What happens if I miss a tax deadline?
Missed deadlines result in penalties and interest charges. The sooner you file, even late, the better. If you realize you’ll miss a deadline, file immediately and contact the CRA about payment options.
