Tax planning is a year-round process that helps businesses optimize their financial strategies to minimize tax liabilities. Key benefits include:
Identifying Deductions Early: By tracking expenses throughout the year, businesses can ensure they claim all eligible deductions, such as business-related travel, employee benefits, and asset depreciation.
Managing Cash Flow: Strategic tax planning ensures you have enough liquidity to meet tax obligations without disrupting operations.
Maximizing Tax Credits: Programs like the Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) Tax Credit can be identified and applied proactively.
Avoiding Penalties: Staying compliant with CRA regulations and deadlines prevents interest and late-payment penalties. At Sahil & Meher Accountants and Consultants, we offer tailored tax planning services to help your business grow efficiently while staying compliant year-round.
Incorporating your business in Canada can provide several financial and legal advantages:
Tax Benefits: Corporations are taxed at a lower rate than individuals, and income splitting with family members can further reduce taxes. Additionally, the first $500,000 of active business income may qualify for the small business deduction.
Limited Liability: Incorporation separates your personal assets from business liabilities, protecting your personal finances in case of business debts or lawsuits.
Access to Funding: Incorporated businesses may find it easier to secure loans or attract investors.
Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption: If you sell your business in the future, you may qualify for a tax-free capital gain on the sale. Sahil & Meher Accountants and Consultants can guide you through the incorporation process, ensuring your structure is optimized for tax savings and liability protection.
Preparing for a CRA audit involves maintaining accurate and organized financial records. Steps include:
Keeping Detailed Documentation: Ensure receipts, invoices, and bank statements are readily available.
Reconciling Accounts Regularly: Regular account reconciliation ensures all transactions are accurate and match CRA filings.
Understanding CRA Triggers: Common reasons for audits include excessive business expense claims, large changes in income, and discrepancies between GST/HST filings and income reports.
Staying Proactive: Conducting regular internal reviews can help identify potential red flags before they become an issue. If you’re audited, the CRA will request specific documents. Our team at Sahil & Meher Accountants and Consultants can represent you during an audit, ensuring compliance and minimizing disruptions to your business.
Financial forecasting involves predicting your business's future financial performance based on historical data and market trends. Benefits include:

Identifying Risks: By analyzing cash flow, you can identify potential financial shortfalls and address them early.
Securing Funding: Lenders and investors often require detailed forecasts as part of loan or investment applications.
