Small Business Tax Return for Incorporated Canadian Businesses.
Incorporated in Canada? Your T2 return has rules that differ from personal filing — corporate fiscal year-ends, capital cost allowance, eligible business deductions, and shareholder reporting. Count myAccount owns the process from document intake to CRA submission.
Count myAccount handles small business tax returns and T2 corporate filings for incorporated Canadian businesses. Your file is assigned to a tax expert who reviews your financials, identifies eligible deductions, and submits a CRA-compliant return — at a fixed price, on a defined timeline.
Is This the Right Service for Your Business?
This service is for you if your business is incorporated in Canada and needs a small business tax return — specifically, a T2 Corporate Income Tax Return filed.
A Canadian-Controlled Private Corporation (CCPC)
Filing under the small business deduction rate. You need deductions properly applied — not left on the table because your return was prepared generically.
An incorporated business with employees or contractors
Your return intersects with payroll records, shareholder loans, and possibly HST remittances. These need to align before CRA reviews your file.
Filing for the first time after incorporation
The T2 deadline is six months after your fiscal year-end — not April 30. If you’re used to personal filing cycles, that date shift catches people.
A corporation that missed a prior year’s filing
Count myAccount handles late filings and amended returns. The sooner the file is closed, the lower the penalty exposure.

Why Corporate Tax Filing Isn’t Just a Longer T1
The T2 is a distinct return governed by the Income Tax Act — not an extension of personal filing. Business owners who treat it as such routinely miss deductions or trigger CRA flags. What changes after incorporation:
Fiscal year-end. Your corporation sets its year-end on incorporation — it doesn’t have to follow the calendar year, and your filing deadline shifts with it.
Small Business Deduction (SBD). CCPCs pay a lower federal rate on the first $500,000 of active business income — if you meet the passive-income, associated-corporation, and employment tests.
Capital Cost Allowance (CCA). Depreciable assets — equipment, vehicles, computers, leasehold improvements — are deducted over time through CCA classes. Count myAccount applies the correct rates.
Shareholder loans. Money moved between you and your corporation — draws, loans, reimbursements — must be documented and reported. A loan outstanding past year-end triggers income inclusion under CRA rules.
Associated corporations. If you control multiple corporations, the SBD limit is shared across them and must be disclosed on Schedule 23.
Count myAccount reviews each of these before filing — the structured review that prevents CRA questions from arriving six months after your return goes in.
What Count myAccount Handles on Your T2
Your file is assigned to a corporate tax expert. The scope covers:
T2 return preparation and e-filing — all schedules required for your corporate structure, including Schedule 1 (net income reconciliation), Schedule 8 (CCA), and Schedule 3 (dividends).
Financial statement review — your year-end financials are reviewed before filing. If your bookkeeping is current, this step is clean; if not, we flag discrepancies before they reach CRA.
Eligible deductions review — home office, vehicle, meals, professional fees, advertising, and any industry-specific deductions applicable to your business.
CRA correspondence support — if CRA issues a request for information after filing, Count myAccount responds. The file doesn’t close when the return is submitted.
Shareholder loan reconciliation — we review the balance and ensure the reporting is correct before it creates a tax liability.
Prior year integration — losses carried forward, SR&ED credits, or other carryover items are incorporated into the current year filing.
Notice of Assessment review — once CRA processes your return and issues the NOA, we review it with you.
How Does Count myAccount Handle My T2 Filing?
Five steps, one team. Your T2 moves through a defined process from document intake to assessment — no gaps, no handoffs to strangers.
Document intake
You share your year-end financials, incorporation documents, prior year T2 (if applicable), and any CRA correspondence. Count myAccount provides a structured intake checklist — nothing gets missed because the process is the same each time.
Expert assignment and review
Count myAccount assigns your file to a corporate tax expert. They review your financials, run the deductions analysis, reconcile shareholder activity, and flag anything that needs your input before the return is prepared.
Draft review
You receive a draft of the T2 with a summary of deductions taken and the calculated tax owing or refund. You review it. Questions get answered before filing.
CRA e-filing and confirmation
Count myAccount submits your return electronically. You receive confirmation of filing and a copy of the return for your records.
NOA review
When CRA issues your Notice of Assessment, Count myAccount reviews it and confirms it matches the filed return. Discrepancies are addressed immediately.
What Do Business Tax Filing Packages Cost?
Count myAccount’s business tax filing packages are structured by revenue and complexity. Fixed pricing — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices after the work is done.

On our Monthly Bookkeeping plan? Year-end T2 filing is coordinated directly from your existing records — no duplication of work.
Why Do Incorporated Businesses Use Count myAccount for Their T2?
Generic preparers treat a T2 like a longer personal return — priced after the fact, routed to whoever’s free, and closed the moment it’s filed. Count myAccount is built differently.
Fixed price, stated upfront. The quote reflects your revenue tier and complexity — it doesn’t change mid-engagement because the return turned out to be more work than expected.
Corporate tax is the assigned expert’s specialty. Incorporated business returns don’t go through the same queue as personal T1 filings — corporate returns go to corporate tax experts.
The process covers the year, not just the deadline. On monthly bookkeeping, your records are clean at filing season; for T2-only, we review your financials as part of intake.
CRA correspondence is included. Filing is step four of five, not the end — when CRA responds with an NOA, a review request, or a question, Count myAccount handles it.
A traditional firm sells you access to a professional. Count myAccount delivers a managed outcome.
