Corporate Tax Filing & Support
Your corporation is separate from you personally. That means it has its own CRA account, year-end, filing requirements, and records.
NorthStar helps small incorporated businesses stay organized, understand what needs to be filed, and handle corporate tax compliance properly.
YEAR-END CORPORATE TAX SUPPORT
Not sure what your corporation needs before filing?
NorthStar helps review where things stand, identify what information is missing, and explain what needs to happen before the corporate tax return is prepared.
Whether your corporation is new, inactive, straightforward, or behind on filings, the goal is to make the next step clear.

COMMON RECORDS NEEDED
What is usually needed before filing?
Every corporation is different, but corporate tax filing usually starts with reviewing the corporation’s records and year-end information.
Common items may include:
-
Corporate business number
-
Corporation year-end date
-
Prior-year T2 return, if available
-
Financial statements or completed year-end bookkeeping records
-
Bank and credit card statements, if records are incomplete
-
Asset purchases or disposals
-
Loan documents, if applicable
-
Shareholder contributions, withdrawals, dividends, or advances
-
CRA letters or notices
-
Details of major business changes during the year
If something is missing, NorthStar can help identify what still needs to be provided before the return can be completed.
HOW THE PROCESS WORKS
Corporate tax filing starts with understanding where the corporation stands.
Review the corporation
NorthStar reviews the corporation’s year-end, CRA account status, filing history, and available records.
1
Identify what is missing
If information is incomplete, NorthStar will identify what still needs to be provided before the return can be completed.
2
Prepare the corporate return
Once the records are ready, the T2 corporate tax return is prepared based on the information provided.
3
Review and file
The return is reviewed with you before filing, so you understand what is being submitted and what comes next.

FAQ
Do all corporations need to file a T2 return?
Most resident corporations need to file a T2 corporate income tax return each year, even if there is no tax payable or the corporation had little activity.
Can you file if my bookkeeping is not finished?
The corporate return usually cannot be completed properly until the year-end records are ready. If the books are incomplete, NorthStar can identify what is missing, and bookkeeping support may need to be handled separately through Timmins Bookkeeping.
Do you handle bookkeeping, payroll, or GST/HST filing?
Those services are handled separately through Timmins Bookkeeping. NorthStar focuses on corporate income tax filing and related year-end tax support.
Can you help if the corporation is behind on filings?
Yes. NorthStar can help with prior-year or catch-up T2 filings, depending on the records available and the corporation’s filing history.
Can you help with legal structuring or shareholder agreements?
No. NorthStar does not provide legal advice or custom legal drafting. If your corporation needs legal structuring, shareholder agreements, reorganizations, or legal advice, a lawyer should be involved.
NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
Whether you need corporate tax filing, help getting caught up, business setup guidance, or direction on what records are missing, NorthStar can help point you toward the right next step.
