Corporate tax help for consultants in Peterborough

Consulting income is project-based, and so are the expenses. Listed accountants on our platform file your return, keep HST on invoices correct, and tell you when a corporation is worth the extra paperwork.

From Downtown Peterborough's Hunter Street to East City, the Kawartha Heights, and regional commercial parks, we help local owners maintain immaculate books and keep books clean for tax season.

Retainers, subcontractors, home office and travel need clean records. A personal card used for client work is the usual place books fall apart.

The accountants listed here handle both sole proprietors and incorporated consultants, including payroll if you hire.

What is handled for consultants in Peterborough

  1. The right return

    Sole proprietors get a T1 with a T2125. Incorporated consultants get a T2. You are not pushed into the wrong one.

  2. Invoices and HST

    Consulting fees are billed with HST once you are registered, and returns are filed on schedule.

  3. Expenses

    Home office, software, travel, meals and subcontractors are reviewed against the records you have.

  4. Paying yourself

    If you are incorporated, salary and dividends are reviewed so you know what you can take out.

  5. Subcontractors

    Payments to other consultants are tracked and T4A slips are filed when required.

  6. Books through the year

    Project income and costs are categorized monthly so tax time is not a shoebox.

  • Incorporated consulting practices

Corporate tax for consultants in Peterborough: FAQ

Quick answers to what people ask us most.

Do you offer corporate tax for consultants in Peterborough?

Yes. We provide corporate tax for consultants to individuals and businesses in Peterborough and Ottawa & Eastern Ontario. You can meet with us by phone or video and share documents securely online. Call (647) 527-4970 to get started.

Do consultants have to charge HST?

Yes, once taxable fees pass $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters. Under that, registration is optional.

Should a consultant incorporate?

It tends to help when you can leave profit in the company after paying yourself. A listed accountant can compare the two setups with your numbers.

Can I claim a home office?

You can claim a reasonable portion of home costs when the space is your principal place of business or is used only for work and for meeting clients. Keep the measurements and the bills.

What if my client is outside Canada?

Some exported services are zero-rated. It depends on the service and where the client is. Your accountant codes those invoices so the HST return is right.

How much does corporate tax for consultants cost in Peterborough?

Fees depend on the scope and complexity of your situation. After a free consultation we give you a clear quote before any work begins.
