FAQ: everything you need to know about the T2 income tax return
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about filing your corporate income tax return and using T2inc.ca's services.
Who is required to file a T2 corporation income tax return?
Every incorporated business in Canada must file a T2 tax return every year, even if no income was earned or taxes are owed. This includes inactive corporations, non-resident corporations with taxable income, and holding companies. Filing is mandatory for each fiscal year to comply with the Income Tax Act and avoid penalties or administrative delays.
In Quebec, businesses must also file the CO-17 return if they operate in the province.
Corporations required to file include:
- Canadian-controlled private corporations (CCPCs);
- Holding companies;
- Businesses with or without employees;
- Foreign subsidiaries with taxable activities in Canada.
There are only a few exceptions, such as specific tax-exempt entities, Crown corporations or certain non-profits. If in doubt, consult a tax specialist or contact the CRA.
Can I file my T2 tax return myself?
Yes, you can file your T2 return using authorized software. However, working with a professional is highly recommended to avoid errors and maximize available tax deductions.
The T2 corporation income tax return is a complex form that requires a solid understanding of Canadian tax and accounting rules. While it is technically possible to file it yourself, this approach is best suited for inactive or very simple corporations.
Most small and medium-sized businesses benefit significantly from working with a tax accountant or a specialized firm like T2inc.ca. Professional support helps to:
- Ensure full compliance with the Canada Revenue Agency CRA;
- Avoid penalties from errors or omissions;
- Optimize all eligible deductions for your business.
Filing on your own may seem cost-effective, but the risk of costly mistakes often outweighs the savings.
What is the deadline for filing a T2 tax return in Canada?
The corporate income tax return must be filed no later than six months after the end of your fiscal year. If the deadline falls on a weekend or public holiday, the return is due the next business day.
This rule applies to all incorporated businesses, regardless of income. Determining your fiscal year-end is key to knowing your filing deadline.
For example, a corporation with a year-end on December 31 must file its return by June 30. The balance of tax owing (if any) must be paid within three months for CCPCs. Missing the deadline can result in interest charges and penalties from both the CRA and Revenu Québec.
What documents are required to file a T2 return?
To file a T2 return, you need to provide your corporation’s financial statements, previous tax filings, and key business identifiers.
Here are the main documents required:
- Financial statements (balance sheet and income statement)
- A copy of your last tax return (and CO-17 if in Quebec)
- Recent notices of assessment
- Federal and provincial business numbers
If your financial statements are not ready, provide:
- Bank statements
- A summary of income and expenses
- Sales tax returns (GST/QST)
If this is your first time filing, make sure you have your business number (BN) from the CRA, and your Quebec enterprise number (NEQ) if applicable.
How do I pay corporate income tax in Canada?
Corporate taxes can be paid online through your financial institution by selecting the CRA or Revenu Québec as a payee. Installment payments are required if your balance owing exceeds $3,000.
Most corporations must make monthly installments. However, quarterly payments may be allowed if your corporation meets all the following criteria:
- It is a Canadian-controlled private corporation (CCPC)
- It has complied fully with the Income Tax Act
- Its taxable income, together with any associated corporations, was $500,000 or less for the current or previous year
- It used $10 million or less in taxable capital in Canada during the tax year
In some cases, monthly installments may still be required, depending on your total tax liability and payment history. Failing to make installments, or paying insufficient amounts, can lead to penalties and interest.
To make a payment, log in to your financial institution’s online banking platform. Select "CRA" or "Revenu Québec" in the "Pay Bills" or "Government Payments" section.
