Why Tax Planning is Important for Business

Tax planning is key to financial success. In Ottawa, tax planning proactively minimizes tax and keeps you compliant with ever changing rules. Our corporate tax accountants play a pivotal role in this process by monitoring legislative changes and adjusting tax strategies accordingly. This ensures your business remains compliant while taking advantage of new tax saving opportunities.

Effective tax planning requires accurate tax return preparation which can result in significant tax savings. By identifying eligible deductions and credits, we can lower your overall tax obligations. This saves you money and helps in better financial management and decision making for your business. Mixing salary and dividends or income splitting can optimize both your business and personal taxes.

Year-end tax planning, another service offered by our corporate tax accountants, is a review of your company’s financial situation to identify additional tax savings and benefits. We can incorporate advanced tax deferral techniques to retain more earnings for reinvestment and future expenses.

Our tax professionals will give you proactive advice and keep you updated so your business can adjust its tax strategies to changing rules. Consulting with our tax professionals will help you create customized tax strategies to address your financial needs.

Financial Statements and Tax Filing

Financial statements preparation and corporate tax filing are part of the business operations in order to be compliant and to have a clear financial picture. Every incorporated business needs to file a corporate income tax return, therefore it is important to determine all allowable deductions to maximize business expense claims and reduce your taxes.

Businesses must file a corporate tax return within six months after the fiscal year-end. The deadline emphasizes the importance of timely and accurate tax filing to avoid late fees and penalties.

Working with our corporate tax accountant can offer significant cost savings. We will help you maximize tax credits and deductions to reduce your overall tax liability. Our firm has a proactive approach to save money by helping you optimize your financial strategies and increase your profitability.

We will use various strategies to minimize taxes. For example, purchasing capital assets just before the end of the fiscal year will allow you to claim higher depreciation in that fiscal year. Selling business capital assets after year-end will defer tax on capital gains until the following year and give you immediate financial relief.

These tax planning and preparation strategies help retain more of your earnings for reinvestment and growth. Working with our corporate tax accountant will allow you to uncover hidden savings opportunities and improve your financial health.
