Virtual Corporate Tax (T2) Filing in Canada

Your incorporated business needs a T2 return every year — done right, filed on time, and structured to keep your tax bill low. We handle all of it remotely, at a fixed fee quoted before we start.

In short

Every incorporated Canadian business must file a T2 corporate return each year, even if it had no income. We prepare your T2, your year-end financial statements and your GST/HST, file directly with the CRA, and plan how you pay yourself — all online, with one CPA on your file. T2 returns start at $800, or from $1,200 with year-end statements.

What’s included

Everything your incorporated business needs

A complete corporate tax engagement, delivered remotely anywhere in Canada:

  • Your T2 corporate income tax return, e-filed with the CRA
  • Year-end financial statements (compilation) for your corporation
  • GST/HST returns reconciled to your books
  • Salary-vs-dividend planning so you pay yourself tax-efficiently
  • Small-business deduction claimed correctly (9% federal rate)
  • CRA correspondence and audit support when needed
Deadlines

When your T2 is due — and why timing matters

Your T2 return is due six months after your fiscal year-end. But the deadline that actually costs money is the payment deadline: a Canadian-controlled private corporation generally has to pay any balance owing within three months of year-end (two months for larger or non-CCPC corporations). Miss it and the CRA charges interest — miss the filing deadline and there are penalties on top.

We keep both dates in view, estimate what you’ll owe well before they arrive, and make sure your instalments are on track so a filing is never a scramble or a surprise. Because your file is looked after year-round, we can also time income, bonuses and dividends before year-end — when it’s still possible to change the outcome, not after.

Filing deadline

6 months after your fiscal year-end. Late filing brings penalties plus daily interest.

Payment deadline

Usually 3 months after year-end for a CCPC. This is where most surprise interest comes from.

No-income years still file

A dormant or loss-year corporation still must file a T2 — skipping it risks penalties and CRA flags.

Common questions

Virtual T2 filing FAQ

Do I have to file a T2 if my corporation had no income?+
Yes. Every incorporated Canadian business must file a T2 return each year, even a dormant or loss-making one. Filing a nil or loss return also preserves losses you can carry forward. Skipping it risks penalties and puts you on the CRA’s radar.
What does a T2 return cost?+
A standalone T2 corporate return starts at $800, or from $1,200 when it includes year-end financial statements. We quote the fixed fee up front after a free consult, so there is never an hourly meter or a surprise invoice.
Can you file my T2 if my business is in another province?+
Yes. The T2 is a federal return, so a Canadian CPA can prepare and file it for a business in any province. Provincial corporate rates and any provincial credits are simply part of the work.
When is my T2 due?+
The return is due six months after your fiscal year-end. Any balance owing is generally due within three months of year-end for a CCPC (two months otherwise), which is why we forecast your tax early.
What do you need from me to file?+
Access to your bookkeeping, last year’s return, and CRA authorization. If your books need cleaning up first, we can handle that too. Everything is handled remotely — no in-person visit needed.
