What is your average turnaround time for a corporate tax return?

Our turnaround time varies on a case-by-case basis. For simple T1 files, this process may be as fast as 1-2 business days, depending on our transaction volumes. For more complex cases such as business taxes or catching up with missed returns, our advisors will work closely with you so that we can personalize a timely solution for your unique circumstances.

How are my returns submitted to the CRA for review?

You can file your taxes online or by paper. At SYNCAPRO, we use the CRA's Represent-a-Client function to get a clearer view of your past returns, and to gather necessary information for the year-end. Submissions are made electronically via EFILE Certified tax software. You'll be notified through email once you receive any status update on your returns.

What are some common tax deadlines?

Tax deadlines are updated every year by the CRA. Key dates for filing your 2021 taxes include: March 1, 2022 - to contribute to an RRSP, PRPP, or SPP; April 30, 2022 - time to file your taxes and pay outstanding balance; June 15, 2022 - deadline to file taxes if you or your spouse/common-law partner are self-employed. Business tax deadlines are regulated by a different set of rules under the ITA. Call us to help you out!

How do I optimize my tips and gratuities in T2 returns?

The CRA considers controlled tips as income for the employer, and these must be declared as such. However, there are optimization strategies that your business can employ to help mitigate this liability on your T2 returns. Contact us today for a free one-hour consultation on how to perform this step.
