  • Inadequate records and supporting schedules needed for a T2 or for a year‑end tax review;
  • No proactive plan for corporate distributions, shareholder benefits, or tax‑efficient growth;
  • Worry about responding to CRA inquiries or preparing for a voluntary disclosure.

What Wealthy Wave Accounting Inc. does for you

We provide a full suite of corporate tax services designed to reduce risk and help you make informed decisions. Typical engagements include:

  • Reviewing your year‑end trial balance and preparing schedules required for a complete T2 filing;
  • Calculating instalment requirements and recommending timing strategies to reduce interest exposure. The CRA provides rules about instalment timing and methods that we follow when advising clients. ([canada.ca](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/corporations/corporation-payments/paying-instalments/instalment-dates.html?utm_source=openai))
  • Preparing and filing the T2 return on your behalf and assembling supporting documents for CRA review.

Process — how we work with you

We follow a structured process so your corporate tax work is predictable and efficient:

  1. Initial intake and scoping call — we confirm your filing period, delivery method (in‑person at Brampton/Toronto or secure virtual), and any prior CRA matters. Contact us through our contact page or call (647) 606‑1824. (See Contact Us.)
  2. Document collection — we provide a checklist and a secure way for you to upload records. Virtual clients receive the same checklist and secure portal access.
  3. Review & tax analysis — we reconcile accounts, identify adjustments, and discuss planning opportunities such as timing of expenses, capital purchases, or owner remuneration. We rely on CRA guidance for instalment and filing rules in our calculations.

  4. Preparation & review — we prepare the T2 and related schedules and review them with you before filing. If supporting schedules are required by CRA, we assemble them for your records and for filing where applicable. ([canada.ca](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/publications/t4012/t2-corporation-income-tax-guide-before-you-start.html?utm_source=openai))
  5. Filing & post‑filing support — we file electronically where possible and provide a filing confirmation. We can also help respond to CRA enquiries and set up future instalment/remittance plans. Information on instalment payment methods is followed per CRA guidance. ([canada.ca](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/corporations/corporation-payments/paying-instalments/how-pay.html?utm_source=openai))

Practical outcomes you can expect

  • Accurate, CRA‑compliant T2 filings and supporting schedules;
  • Clear instalment and payment timing to reduce interest and penalties;
  • Actionable tax planning suggestions tailored to your growth, sale, or distribution plans;
  • Improved recordkeeping and year‑end readiness that reduce stress and surprise assessments.

Why timing matters

Corporations must file a T2 for every tax year and may have instalment obligations during the year. Filing and payment dates influence cash flow, interest exposure, and the timing of distributions. The CRA publishes instalment‑due rules and balance‑due timing; those rules are the baseline we use when advising clients. Missing instalment payments or filing deadlines can lead to interest or penalties, so early planning matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all corporations in Canada have to file a T2 return?

Yes. In general, resident corporations must file a T2 for each tax year even if no tax is payable. Specific exemptions (e.g., certain tax‑exempt entities) exist; we will confirm whether your corporation must file based on its status. For CRA guidance on filing obligations, see the federal T2 resources.

Will I have to pay instalments during the year?

Some corporations must pay tax by instalments; whether you must pay and whether instalments are monthly or quarterly depends on your tax situation. We review your obligations and help calculate instalments in line with CRA rules.

Can you file the T2 electronically for my corporation?

Where possible we file electronically and provide you a filing confirmation. Electronic filing improves turnaround and recordkeeping; for certain supporting documents the CRA may require additional submissions which we will handle.

What records are most important to prepare the corporate tax return?

Key items include financial statements (trial balance, income statement, balance sheet), bank statements, payroll summaries, capital asset schedules, shareholder transaction records, and prior year T2 and notices. We provide a detailed checklist during intake.

Do you serve businesses outside Brampton?

Yes. Wealthy Wave serves businesses virtually across Canada except Quebec. We also maintain offices in Brampton and Toronto for in‑person appointments by request.

Do you give legal or insurance advice?

No. We provide tax and accounting advice. Legal documents or legal opinions should be prepared by qualified legal counsel. Insurance implementation must be completed by licensed insurance professionals.
