Corporate tax help for restaurants in Toronto

Restaurants lose money in the gap between the POS, the tip-out and the bank. Listed accountants on our platform close that gap each month and file the corporate return, HST and payroll from the same set of books.

From the Financial District and Liberty Village to Yorkville, the Annex and Leslieville, Toronto business owners deal with a busy mix of HST, payroll, commercial leases and fast growth.

Daily sales, discounts, delivery-app payouts and cash tips rarely match the deposit. Staff turnover makes T4s and Records of Employment a constant job.

The accountants listed here reconcile food cost, tips and HST so you can see margin before the CRA asks for it.

What is handled for restaurants in Toronto

  1. Corporate tax filing (T2)

    The restaurant corporation's return is prepared from reconciled daily sales and filed on time.

  2. POS reconciliation

    Card, cash and delivery-app payouts are matched to the POS so sales, fees and tax agree.

  3. Tips and payroll

    Tip-outs, source deductions, T4s and Records of Employment are handled through staff turnover.

  4. Food cost

    Purchases and inventory are tracked so you can see food cost instead of guessing from the bank balance.

  5. HST

    HST on meals is reconciled to POS tax collected and filed on your schedule.

  6. Paying the owner

    Salary, dividends and cash taken from the till are reviewed so shareholder loans stay clean.

Who this helps in Toronto

  • Multi-location food businesses
