Find your starting point
What best describes you?
Pick one. We will tell you what it involves and where to read more.
Income and expenses need to be tracked through the year, not reconstructed in June. We set up the recordkeeping, claim what you are entitled to, and file the self-employment return on time.

What a Markham business should expect.
Markham is in York Region, north east of Toronto, and is known for its technology and professional-services sector alongside a large base of owner-operated businesses in retail, food and personal services. Filing rules are federal and Ontario-wide, so a Markham corporation files the same T2 and GST/HST returns as one in Toronto. What changes the outcome is whether the books are current and whether someone is planning your position before year-end rather than after.
- One accountant who knows your file, not a call centre queue
- Records kept current through the year, not reconstructed each spring
- Plain answers about what you owe and why
- Documents handled in person or remotely, whichever suits you
Deadlines
The dates that catch Markham businesses out.
Most penalties we see are not from getting the numbers wrong. They are from filing late. These are the standard deadlines by situation.
- April 30 - return due and any balance owing due.
- If April 30 lands on a weekend, the next business day applies.
- Slips such as T4s and RRSP receipts should be in hand before we file.
- June 15 - return due for you and your spouse or partner.
- April 30 - any balance owing is still due, even though the return is not.
- Instalments may apply if you owed tax in prior years.
- 6 months after year-end - corporate return due.
- 2 months after year-end - balance owing generally due; 3 months for many small Canadian-controlled private corporations.
- GST/HST deadlines depend on your reporting period: monthly, quarterly or annual.
Common questions
Questions from Markham clients.
We are based in Toronto and work with Markham clients both in person and remotely. Documents are sent electronically and meetings are by phone or video unless you would rather meet in person.
Yes. Incorporated consultants and contractors have specific questions about salary versus dividends, HST registration and eligible expenses, and we deal with those regularly.
No. Income and corporate tax are federal and provincial. Property tax is set by the City of Markham and York Region, but that does not affect your T1, T2 or GST/HST filings.
We represent you from the first letter through to the decision. Tax audit and review is one of our core services.

We also work across the GTA.
