When you work for yourself, income may be irregular and no employer withholding automatically covers income tax, contributions or sales taxes. Invoices, collections, expenses, business kilometres, instalments and supporting records therefore need to be tracked throughout the year \u2014 not reconstructed a few days before the return is due.<\/span><\/p>\n

Imp\u00f4ts Ici provides remote accounting and tax services for consultants, professionals, creators, tradespeople and other self-employed individuals. We can organize the books, prepare the return, review sales tax registration and help separate business expenses from personal spending.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

An expense is not deductible simply because it was paid from a business account. It must be incurred to earn income and supported by adequate records.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Eligible expenses depend on the activity. Advertising, software, licences, professional fees, supplies, insurance, subcontractors and banking charges may be relevant when the business connection is clear. A home office calculation is based on space and use, and some home expenses cannot create or increase a loss in the same way as ordinary operating costs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vehicle expenses require a mileage record that supports the business-use percentage. Meals and entertainment are often subject to a limitation, while specific situations may follow different rules. Receipts should be accompanied by the business purpose when it is not evident from the document itself.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The records must also reflect when income is earned and expenses are incurred. An unpaid invoice, customer deposit, equipment purchase or mixed personal-business cost is not necessarily treated as a simple bank deposit or withdrawal.<\/span><\/p>\n

We classify transactions, reconcile accounts and identify amounts that need an explanation. This supports the T1 return and Form T2125, while also providing a clearer view of margins, cash flow and the amounts that should be reserved for tax obligations.<\/span><\/p>\n

GST and QST registration generally becomes mandatory when taxable supplies exceed the small-supplier threshold, usually $30,000 under the applicable measurement periods. The exact date on which registration and tax collection must begin depends on how the threshold is exceeded, so cumulative revenue should be monitored during the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

A self-employed individual generally files the personal return by June 15, while any income tax balance is normally due by April 30. Instalment payments may also be required. We can build a reserve schedule and review whether the sales tax accounting method fits the activity.<\/span><\/p>\n

For two common self-employment decisions, read our articles on Quick Method rates<\/a> and buying or leasing a car<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the annual return, review our personal tax<\/a> service or the online tax filing<\/a> process.<\/span><\/p>\n

The engagement may be limited to annual preparation from well-maintained books, or it may include setting up the chart of accounts, periodic reconciliations, sales tax reporting and year-end records. We first determine what exists, what is missing and what should be corrected.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the activity grows, incorporation may become relevant. The decision should not be based on revenue alone: liability, personal cash needs, reinvestment, administrative cost and future plans also matter. Our tax planning<\/a> page explains the broader analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n
