Canadian Corporate income tax return: T2
Corporate tax planning and implementing tax optimization processes are the backbone of effective business tax tactics. The RKB approach begins with a robust inquiry, understanding of your business practices, and rigorous tax planning and evaluation of potential strategies. Proceeding this, our team continues with constant monitoring of the tactic that optimizes your tax liability.
Domestic Corporations Every company, whether incorporated federally, provincially in Canada or a corporation resident in Canada, must file a corporate income tax return after its fiscal year-end.
T2 – Corporate tax planning
We include in our checklist which we think are generally important, and we will review them specifically:
Every corporation, either registered federally or in Ontario, needs to file an Annual report every year, which is different from your T2 Corporate Income Tax return. A corporation registered in Quebec files an Annual declaration/report every year with the QBCA.
Non-resident Corporations
Canada’s domestic tax laws require a non-resident to file and pay tax on any income they earn from carrying on a business in Canada.
A non-Canadian corporation that was not resident in Canada at any time in the taxation year is subject to tax under section 219 of Canada’s Income-tax Act.
If the principal business of a corporation throughout the world is the transportation of persons or goods or communications, it is exempt from tax under section 219 regardless of the nature of its Canadian business. However, in the case of a corporation mining iron ore in Canada, its operation of that nature in Canada must be its principal business throughout the world if it is to qualify for exemption under section 219.
Cross-border tax
Specific items:
If a non-resident corporation was involved in a business in Canada or sold a taxable Canadian property in the tax year, the non-resident corporation must file a T2 return with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). The non-resident corporation must file a T2 even if the profit/gain realized is exempt from Canadian tax under a tax treaty.
