Corporate Tax / T2
Corporate tax starts with books you can trust.
Canadian T2 preparation linked to the reconciliations, schedules and people responsible for the return.
In short
What this means
Rybair can prepare Canadian corporate T2 tax work for incorporated businesses after assessing the company, year-end records and complexity. We agree whether the engagement covers a standalone return, separate bookkeeping cleanup, related filings or ongoing finance support—and confirm filing responsibility before work begins.
Begin with a reviewed year-end file
The return depends on the financial records available. We identify year-end reconciliations, account schedules and supporting documentation needed to prepare and review the agreed filing scope, with unresolved balances listed for follow-up.
- Bank, card and relevant ledger reconciliations
- Year-end schedules and source support
- Shareholder and intercompany balances flagged for review
- Documented open items and decisions before approval
Flag shareholder and intercompany questions
Transactions between the company, its owners and related entities need records that can be explained. We identify missing support and balances that require review, without suggesting a generic tax treatment from a page of marketing copy.
Scope a standalone T2 or a continuing relationship
A standalone T2 may be possible after we assess the file. If the books need catch-up work, that is scoped separately. Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, GST/HST and CRA follow-up can also be agreed as distinct parts of an ongoing relationship; none is automatically included in the T2.
Assess complex matters before accepting them
Reorganizations, specialist elections, unusual transactions or cross-border activity may require a qualified specialist, a narrower scope or a different provider. We clarify what is known, what needs review and which jurisdiction applies before accepting the engagement.
Make approval and filing responsibilities explicit
We identify who provides records, reviews outstanding questions, approves the return and handles filing and payment. We do not represent electronic filing as operational until required EFILE and software setup is active. No outcome or deadline is guaranteed without reviewing the facts and agreed work.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you prepare a T2 without doing our monthly bookkeeping?
Possibly. We assess the existing file and records first. Missing reconciliations or historical cleanup may need a separate scope before preparation.
Do you include payroll and GST/HST in the T2 fee?
No bundled price or automatic inclusion is represented. Each service, filing period and responsibility is agreed separately.
What happens with shareholder or intercompany balances?
We identify the balances and supporting records, flag unresolved items and confirm who reviews any technical tax questions before the return is approved.
Can you handle a reorganization or cross-border return?
We assess complexity and jurisdiction before accepting the work. Specialist input, a limited engagement or a referral may be appropriate.
Service scope, access, responsibilities and delivery dates are agreed in writing. Tax, payroll and jurisdiction-sensitive work is assessed before engagement; assurance and legal services are not included.
