Guides for Ontario Business Owners
Short answers to the questions incorporated owners in Brampton and across Ontario ask us most: filing a T2 when the company earned nothing, paying yourself before 31 December, and keeping books and records you can rely on. Each guide is general information, written and reviewed by our team.

Answers you can use this year.
Filing dates for the year are on one page: Ontario business tax dates. For your own situation, see our services or book a call.
My corporation had no income. Do I still file a T2?
Yes, every year. Due dates, late-filing penalties, the Ontario annual return and when closing the company makes sense. 26 Oct 2026
02Paying yourself before year-end: salary, bonus or dividend?
Salary counts only if paid by 31 December, a bonus can be paid within 180 days, and dividends follow their own rules. 23 Oct 2026
03Sales are growing. Are your books keeping up?
Three bookkeeping checks for a growing business: income, expenses and unpaid invoices, then the bank reconciliation. 11 Oct 2026
04A practical records check: complete, readable and recoverable
Pick one purchase and one sale. Can you find the receipt, read it and open the file you would rely on if CRA asked? 11 Oct 2026
05Connect your bookkeeping entries to their supporting documents
A simple habit that makes every entry easy to review: show which document backs it up instead of relying on memory. 11 Oct 2026
