Tangs Accounting and taxes are synonymous, and we’re here to guide you through each type of tax document you may encounter as a business owner:
T1 Tax Form (Sole Proprietors)
The owner is entitled to all the profit of the business after paying taxes. The sole proprietor, or chosen representative, will fill out the T1 form declaring their income gain or loss. Important to note that the sole proprietor is also accountable for any business losses.
T2 Tax Form (Corporation Income Tax Returns)
In Canada, all businesses must file a corporate income tax return excluding:
- Registered charities
- Hutterite Colonies
- Tax-exempt Crown corporations
Regardless of if your business has tax to pay, you must file a T2 tax form.
T1 Tax Form (General/Personal)
On top of the mandatory T1 form for your business, a personal T1 tax form will outline your personal income. Once you’ve claimed your income and expense on your T2, you will not have to claim it on your general T1.
GST/HST Returns
All businesses must complete, file and pay the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) regardless of if you have any business transactions or net tax to remit.
Prepare Notice to Reader Financial Statement
We help you prepare a Notice to Reader financial statement in Toronto that helps unaudited financial information from management to investors or shareholders. When you receive a Notice to Reader statement, it will include the following:
- Income statement
- Balance sheet
- Cash flow statement
- Statement of retained earnings
It’s useful to have a Notice to Reader statement for the following situations:
Bank Financing
For smaller businesses, banks will typically require a Notice to Reader statement for potential loans. The financial statement will determine if the bank can give a loan to the business.
Investors
Small businesses usually have fewer tangible assets, and this is when a Notice to Reader statement becomes an asset. Business owners can present this financial statement to investors to display their current and potential financials.
Selling a Business
Whether you’re looking to sell your business or merge, a Notice to Reader can be presented to the potential buyer to outline the business’s finances.
Annual Reports
Regardless of if the business owner needs a Notice to Reader financial statement or not, you will receive an annual report to keep track of finances.
