Understanding Incorporation in Canada

Incorporation is a detailed legal and tax process that involves registering with the appropriate provincial or federal authorities, setting up a separate corporate tax account with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), and meeting ongoing compliance obligations. These include annual filings and corporate tax returns.

It’s essential to consult with legal and tax professionals to ensure your incorporation strategy aligns with your business goals while meeting all regulatory requirements.

Still have questions? We’re just a call or message away.

When do you have to file your corporate tax return?

Every corporation in Canada—whether active, inactive, non-profit, or tax-exempt—is required to file a T2 Corporate Income Tax Return each year. The return is due six months after the end of your corporation’s fiscal year, even if there’s no tax payable. However, any balance owing is typically due within 2 or 3 months after the year-end, depending on your corporation’s structure. Filing late may result in penalties and interest.

What is a Taxable Canadian Property?

Taxable Canadian Property refers to specific types of property such as real estate located in Canada, shares in private Canadian corporations, resource properties, and certain business assets. Non-residents may be required to report and pay tax on gains from disposing of these properties. It’s important to review the tax implications of any sale involving Canadian property—even if you’re not a resident.

When do we have to pay if we have income tax owing?

If your corporation owes income tax, the balance is generally due within 2 or 3 months after the end of your fiscal year:

  • 2 months: for most corporations

  • 3 months: for Canadian-controlled private corporations (CCPCs) that meet certain conditions (e.g., small business deduction eligibility)

Paying late may result in interest charges and penalties, even if you file your T2 return on time. To avoid extra costs, it’s best to pay your taxes by the due date, even if you’re still finalizing your return.
