FAQ
Common questions
A T2 return is due six months after your corporation's fiscal year-end. Any balance owing is generally due sooner — two or three months after year-end depending on your circumstances — so it's worth planning ahead.
There's no single right answer — it depends on your personal tax situation, RRSP room goals, cash flow needs, and long-term plans. We walk through the trade-offs with you rather than defaulting to one approach for everyone.
Both. We offer dedicated bookkeeping services that feed directly into your year-end, or we can work from books you maintain internally or through another provider.
