Corporate Tax Filing

Corporate Tax Filing in Montreal (T2 + CO-17, Federal + Quebec Returns)

If your year-end numbers are not done properly, it’s hard to file your corporate taxes with confidence. One missing bank statement, an unreconciled credit card, or a late GST/QST filing can slow things down. It can also lead to questions from the CRA or Revenu Québec.

Fractional Accounting helps businesses file corporate tax returns with the federal government and the Government of Quebec. We also help with GST/HST/QST setup and filings. If you get a tax notice, we can help you reply.

We start by confirming what you need to file. Then we send a short list of documents. If anything is missing, we will let you know early. Once everything is ready, we prepare the return and file it. You will get confirmation after it’s submitted.

Corporate tax filing services we provide

You receive a complete new-business accounting setup you can use right away, with clear and easy-to-understand documentation to keep the process manageable as your business grows. Our service includes:

Kickoff and launch plan

With our bookkeeping services for small businesses, we prepare and file your corporate tax returns with the federal and Quebec authorities. First, we confirm what returns you must file. We then review your year-end information to make sure the filing is complete. If anything is missing or confusing, we explain what needs to be fixed.

GST/HST/QST registration and recurring filings

If you need to register for GST/HST/QST, we can help you register and file on time. When sales tax filings match your books, there are fewer errors and fewer fixes later.

CRA and Revenu Québec notices and questions

If you get a letter or notice from the CRA or Revenu Québec, we can help you respond. We determine what they want, collect the right documents, and prepare a clear response.

Year-end coordination so your books are ready to file

Corporate tax filing depends on clean year-end numbers. We help you organize your year-end tasks to avoid any delays. This makes it easier to finish the return and submit it on time.

Federal vs Quebec corporate tax filings

What most Quebec corporations need to file (T2 + CO-17)

Many Quebec corporations have two corporate filings: one for Canada and one for Quebec. You may hear these referred to as the T2 return (federal) and the CO-17 return (Quebec). Both filings use the same year-end numbers. That’s why it is important that the records match.

How we keep it simple for you

We keep things straightforward and simple by telling you what needs to be filed. We send a short list of documents and highlight what’s missing in plain language. If something needs to be fixed in the books, we tell you what to change so you can move forward with ease.

Who this service is for

Startups and small businesses

Our corporate tax filing services are for small businesses that want their filings handled without any guesswork. It is also helpful for people whose books are close to ready but still need help completing the final steps.

Freelancers and solo entrepreneurs who incorporated

If you recently incorporated, corporate tax filing can feel like a big jump. We help you understand what you need, what to gather, and what to clean up so you can file without any surprises.

If you also need GST/HST/QST filings, we can handle them as well. Our combined services help keep sales tax reporting and year-end numbers in sync.

Our corporate tax filing process

Intake and document request

We collect your corporation details and your fiscal year-end. We verify whether you need federal, Quebec, and GST/HST/QST filings. We then send a list of documents that fit your situation.

Step 2: Year-end review and readiness check

We check the year-end numbers for issues that often slow filing down. Examples include missing statements, unreconciled accounts, or unclear expenses. If we find a problem, we tell you what to fix and what to send.

Step 3: Prepare and file the returns

Once the records are ready, we prepare the corporate return(s). We confirm what requires your input, then file it after approval.

Step 4: After filing support

After filing, we can assist with any follow-up questions or notices regarding the return. If the CRA or Revenu Québec requests supporting documents, we help you respond.
