Frequently Asked Questions

Self-Employed & Freelancers Tax Services

Self-employed & freelancers tax services require specialized expertise in business deductions, quarterly planning, and CRA compliance for business activities. We understand sole proprietor regulations, T2125 business statement optimization, and strategic planning that generic preparers often miss. Our focus on business growth and deduction maximization typically recovers significantly more than basic tax preparation.
Legitimate business expenses include home office costs (portion of utilities, rent, insurance), vehicle expenses for business use, equipment and software purchases, professional development, marketing costs, office supplies, business insurance, and client entertainment. We analyze your specific situation to identify all applicable deductions while ensuring proper documentation for CRA compliance.
Quarterly planning prevents year-end tax surprises by calculating estimated taxes, setting aside appropriate amounts, and identifying timing opportunities for expenses and income. We help optimize installment payments, plan major purchases for maximum tax benefit, and adjust strategies based on income fluctuations throughout the year.

GST/HST registration becomes mandatory when your revenue exceeds $30,000 in any 12-month period. However, voluntary registration can provide benefits through input tax credits on business expenses. Our self-employed & freelancers tax services analyze your situation to determine optimal registration timing and help maximize available credits.

Our fees vary based on return complexity, but most clients find the additional refunds we generate more than offset our costs. We provide transparent quotes upfront with no hidden fees. Consider that the average taxpayer misses $700-1,200 in deductions annually – our expertise typically recovers more than our fee costs.
Absolutely. We analyze your income level, growth projections, and tax situation to determine incorporation benefits versus sole proprietorship. Factors include income splitting opportunities, small business deduction eligibility, liability protection needs, and administrative complexity. Our recommendation considers both current optimization and long-term business strategy.
We provide comprehensive audit support as part of our service. If the CRA contacts you with questions, we handle all communications, provide supporting documentation, and represent you throughout the process. Our detailed preparation and documentation typically resolve CRA inquiries quickly and favorably.
