In
Canada, corporate tax rates fell from 22.5% before 2008 to 19% in 2009. These corporate tax reductions will give Canadian corporations the lowest tax rate on new business investments in the G7 group of nations. (Canada Revenue Agency, 2009). It seems that now would be a good time to invest in various business ventures in Canada.
Very useful information indeed if you are looking to have a go at entrepreneurship, although the various tax laws come into play and the revenue agency will be aiming for businesses which are red flagged and just begging for an audit. This is especially true if you are self-employed. The chance that you will be selected for an audit is greater as the revenue agencies are always looking to make sure that those who are self-employed are not trying to find ways around tax law by using small business tax deductions.
When preparing tax returns, one should be careful of showing tax returns that show deductions that do not fit into the ‘normal and necessary’ category. It could become a minefield when dealing with tax returns when you don’t know what you are doing. Fortunately, accounting and bookkeeping services are just a click away which can provide various services including, but not limited to, accounting, bookkeeping and end-of-year audits and
Canadian non-resident tax accounting.
Even when you can do it yourself or prefer to do it yourself, using the accounting services online can really be beneficial to you and your business as you will be able to receive recommendations on how to improve your processes, your accounting systems and operational activities which can be invaluable when you are just starting out. These minutiae, which you might take for granted at first, will make or break your start-up and should you avail of the bookkeeping service and your business takes off, wouldn’t that be money well spent? It just might be your most sound investment yet.
As the old saying goes: there are only two certainties in life: death and taxes. We haven’t found a way yet to avoid neither but we seem to have found to make the latter much more bearable. In a word, I think I would rather enjoy life than, ironically, suffer death by doing taxes.
