Frequently Asked Questions
Do consultants need to register for GST/HST?
Once your consulting income exceeds $30,000 over four consecutive quarters, you generally must register for GST/HST. Registering can also let you claim Input Tax Credits on software, travel, and office costs. We help you decide and handle registration and filing.
What can consultants deduct on their taxes?
Consultants can deduct home office costs, travel, software and subscriptions, professional development, marketing, and more. We make sure you claim every eligible deduction while staying CRA-compliant.
Should I incorporate my consulting business?
Incorporating can offer tax advantages once your consulting income rises, through deferral and salary-versus-dividend planning, but it adds compliance. As your tax consultant, we assess your situation and advise whether incorporating is worth it for you
What does a tax consultant do?
A tax consultant provides expert advice to minimize your tax and keep you compliant, going beyond basic filing to strategic planning around income, deductions, and business structure. We act as your ongoing tax consultant, not just a once-a-year filer.
How often should I do my bookkeeping as a consultant?
Monthly bookkeeping is ideal for consultants, given irregular income and project-based work. It keeps your records accurate, your cash flow clear, and your tax filings stress-free. We handle it for you.
