What is self-employed tax filing in Canada?

Self-employed tax filing in Canada covers freelancers, contractors, gig workers, and platform earners who file a T1 personal return with Form T2125 (Statement of Business or Professional Activities) attached. T2125 reports your business income and eligible expenses, reducing what you’re taxed on. If your revenue crosses $30,000 in any four consecutive quarters, GST/HST registration is mandatory. Count myAccount assigns a specialist to your file, handles T2125 preparation, identifies deductions, and files with the CRA — at a fixed rate confirmed before you start.

01

Share what you have

Upload your income records, expense receipts, and any platform summaries through the intake form. The checklist tells you exactly what to gather.

02

Your specialist reviews your file

Count myAccount assigns a specialist based on your income type. They calculate your business income, identify eligible deductions and prepare T2125.

03

You review before filing

Your specialist walks through the return — what’s being claimed, what the numbers look like, what to expect from the CRA. Nothing is submitted until you confirm.

04

E-file with the CRA

Your return is submitted electronically. If you’re in the Self-Employed + GST package, the HST return goes in at the same time.

05

CRA follow-up is covered

If the CRA requests documentation or sends a review notice after filing, Count myAccount handles the response. This is part of the engagement.

Fixed pricing, confirmed before we start

Self-employed tax filing packages are structured by your situation. Fixed pricing — no hourly billing, no charges added at submission.

From $147.99 / return

Covers T2125 preparation, eligible deductions, CRA e-filing, and post-filing correspondence support.

Need GST/HST filed too? The Self-Employed + GST package covers registration and HST filing in the same engagement.

What clients say

★★★★★

“Farhad helped me file my taxes in Canada as a freelancer. He guided and advised me throughout the entire process. It’s a real relief to have someone who knows the system and makes you feel confident — especially when you’re in a country that’s not your own and you’re not really sure how taxes work.”

Elisabet Grau
★★★★★

“Before working with them, I was simply filing taxes as an employee without really understanding the opportunities available to me. Samira helped me see things from a completely different perspective and made me aware of how I can legally use my expenses to reduce my taxes and even get money back.”

Monica
★★★★★

“I really appreciate the sense of trust you gave me. I liked your workflow — you can genuinely feel the difference. I’m very happy with the result. Also, your support in responding to CRA questions was truly valuable to me.”

Sam Bar

“I had a great experience with Count myAccount for my family’s tax return this year. Farhad Farhoosh and Ms. Salamani were amazing to work with. They were very patient, professional, and took the time to answer all of our questions.”

Why file with Count myAccount

Messy records are the norm, not the exception

Most self-employed filers don’t have clean books. Mixed accounts, missing receipts, platform income across three apps — Count myAccount’s intake process is built for this. Your specialist works with what exists and flags what’s missing, not the other way around.

Every deduction reviewed before filing

Vehicle use, home office, equipment, software, professional fees — these don’t claim themselves. Your specialist goes through eligible expenses against your income type before the return is submitted.

GST/HST handled in the same engagement

If you need HST registration or an HST return filed, that’s a single package — not a separate engagement with a different provider.

CRA follow-up included

Filing self-employed returns draws more CRA attention than T4-only returns. If a review request arrives after submission, Count myAccount handles it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the filing deadline for self-employed Canadians?
June 15 for the return. But any balance owing is due April 30 — not June 15. Interest on unpaid amounts starts May 1 regardless of your filing deadline. If you owe, pay by April 30.
Do I need to register for GST/HST?
Yes, once your taxable revenue crosses $30,000 in any four consecutive quarters. Registration is mandatory at that point, not optional. Count myAccount handles registration and HST filing as part of the Self-Employed + GST package.
What expenses can I deduct?
Eligible deductions depend on your type of work. Common claims include vehicle expenses (business-use percentage, with a mileage log), home office costs (by square footage), equipment and software, professional fees, and advertising costs. Your specialist reviews what applies to your situation before filing.
My records are a mess. Can you still file?
Yes. Incomplete records are common for self-employed filers. Your specialist identifies what can be reconstructed from bank statements and platform summaries, and flags what needs to be gathered. The intake checklist tells you exactly what to prepare.
What is Form T2125?
T2125, Statement of Business or Professional Activities, is filed as part of your T1 personal return. It reports your gross business income and eligible expenses, producing a net income figure that flows into your personal tax calculation. Count myAccount prepares T2125 as part of every self-employed filing package.
What if the CRA reviews my return after filing?
Count myAccount handles CRA correspondence after submission — review requests, documentation requests, reassessment notices. Audit protection is available as an add-on for extended coverage.
How long does filing take?
Most returns are completed within two to three business days of receiving your documents. More complex files — multiple income streams, HST, prior-year reconstruction — may take longer. Your specialist will confirm the timeline upfront.
