Once we receive all your documents, most T2 corporate income tax returns are completed and filed within 10–15 business days. Need something sooner? We aim to respond to new requests within 48 hours and always work within your deadlines.
To complete your T2 corporate income tax return, we’ll need your year-end financial statements, trial balance, prior year filings, shareholder info, and details about any investments, loans, or intercompany transactions. We’ll send you a checklist, and our team is happy to walk you through it step by step.
Input tax credits (ITCs) let you recover the GST/HST paid on business expenses. If you’re registered for GST/HST filing, you can usually claim ITCs on goods or services used in your commercial activities. We’ll make sure your records are clean and your claims are accurate.
At year-end, you’ll need to issue T4 and T4A information slips for employees and contractors, as well as summary forms. If you have non-resident payees, T4A-NR slips may also be required. Strata-G can take care of this and ensure all payroll source deduction remittances are properly reported.
Yes, we help businesses with Revenu Québec filings. Whether you need RL slips, TP-1, or coordination with federal returns, we can handle both.
If you receive a review request, letter, or full audit, we provide full CRA audit representation. That includes helping you respond, reviewing documents before submission, and handling the back-and-forth with CRA so you’re not left doing it alone.
If your corporation has related-party transactions or foreign affiliates, you may be required to file T106 and T1134 forms. These are part of CRA’s international compliance rules, and the penalties for missing them can be steep. Strata-G helps you understand the rules, gather the right info, and file everything properly.
Yes! We prepare SR&ED T661 claims and help you make the most of your investment tax credits, including provincial equivalents. Whether you’re claiming for the first time or need help improving documentation, we can help.
