Self-employed tax in Whitby: FAQ

Quick answers to what people ask us most.

Do you offer self-employed tax in Whitby?

Yes. We provide self-employed tax to individuals and businesses in Whitby and Durham Region. You can meet with us by phone or video and share documents securely online. Call (647) 527-4970 to get started.

What expenses can I deduct as a self-employed person?

Generally, expenses you incur to earn business income: supplies, software, advertising, insurance, professional fees, a reasonable share of home office costs and business use of a vehicle. Personal expenses are not deductible, and good records matter.

Do I need to pay tax instalments?

If your net tax owing is more than $3,000 in the current year and in either of the two previous years, the CRA generally requires instalments. We calculate them and remind you of the due dates.

When do I have to register for GST/HST?

You must register once your worldwide taxable revenue passes $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters. You can also register earlier, which lets you recover GST/HST paid on business costs.

How much does self-employed tax cost in Whitby?

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