Industries We Serve
The rules that matter most to you depend on what you do. These pages set out what actually changes, industry by industry.
A grain farm, a hauling company, and a dental practice all file a corporate return, and that is roughly where the similarity ends. The timing of income, the deductions that matter, the records that get reviewed, and the way an owner eventually exits are different in each one.
These pages set out what is genuinely specific to each industry, so you can see whether we understand your operation before you pick up the phone.
Agriculture & Farming
Cash-basis reporting, AgriStability and AgriInvest filings, and the rollover rules that decide how a farm reaches the next generation.
Learn moreTrucking & Transportation
Personal services business exposure for incorporated drivers, quarterly IFTA returns, and the GST that freight often does not attract at all.
Learn moreConstruction & Trades
Holdbacks that are not income yet, T5018 subcontractor reporting, WCB clearance letters, and the GST a builder charges to itself.
Learn moreRestaurants & Hospitality
Controlled versus direct tips at source, the 90 percent rule on food sales, staff meals as a benefit, and leasehold improvements written off against the lease.
Learn moreProfessional Corporations
Why the split income rules land hardest on service businesses, what passive investments do to the small business deduction, and the salary or dividend decision.
Learn moreReal Estate & Rentals
Repairs against improvements, the depreciation claim that quietly cancels an election, change of use, and the rule that turns a quick sale into business income.
Learn moreTaxi & Rideshare
GST registration from the first fare with no small supplier exemption, platform earnings reported to the CRA, and a vehicle with its own deduction ceilings.
Learn moreNon-profits & Charities
Two different tax statuses with different filings, a deadline that can cost registration, the annual spending requirement, and rebates instead of input tax credits.
Learn moreE-commerce & Online Retail
The sales data platforms now file about you, provincial taxes an Alberta seller has never had to think about, and inventory that is not a deduction yet.
Learn moreIT & Software
Federal SR&ED credits and the Alberta grant that sits on top, GST on work sold abroad, and the rule that can undo an incorporated contractor.
Learn moreMedical & Dental
Why an exempt practice still has GST questions, the orthodontic arrangement the CRA has withdrawn, and payments inside a group practice.
Learn moreOil & Gas Services
Camp and lodging that may be tax free, day-rate workers who may be employees, withholding on non-resident crews, and losses that have to reach across the cycle.
