If you are considering leasing or buying a vehicle under your corporation, there are many tax implications and rules that you will benefit from understanding from the get-go. The biggest question to ask yourself before you go through with this decision is as follows.

Business vs. Personal Use

When leasing a vehicle under your corporation, you can benefit from this by dedicating the business-use portion of the lease payments. Furthermore, you can also deduct other operating costs for the vehicle on its tax return. Often, the vehicle is also used for personal use, and costs associated with personal use should not be deducted through the corporation or business, ensure that you are keeping in mind ethical practices when claiming tax returns or doing business deductions.

Taxable Benefits – Automobile Used by an Employee

If the purchased vehicle is made available for use to an employee for personal use, then you will not receive a taxable benefit. Rather the employee will be considered to have received a tax benefit from their profile. It is important to understand that the CRA is extremely strict when it comes to personal use, even commuting to work is considered personal use. Lastly, the income on the annual T4 slip for the employee can qualify for payroll deductions, this includes income tax, CPP, and EI.

Operating Cost Benefit

Now, understanding all these benefits is important because you do not want to claim the wrong deductions and land yourself in trouble. The operating cost benefit is a bit unique, it recognizes that the employer has covered all expenses through the year for the vehicle, even though it is being used for personal purposes. This benefit can be calculated by multiplying the personal kilometers driven with the specified kilometer rate for that year. For example, (%0.27 / km) for 2021.

Corporate Tax Deductions

If you decide to lease a vehicle, you will be eligible to deduct the monthly lease payments of that vehicle on the corporate tax return up to a limit of $800/month + GST/HST. On the contrary, if the vehicle is purchased, the first $30,000 of that vehicle can be contributed to depreciation on that corporate tax return, this falls under the capital cost allowance program. Not only this, but your corporation can also deduct the operating expenses for your vehicle, these include the following:

• Fuel and Oil Costs
• Repair and Maintenance Cost
• Insurance
• Licensing and Registration Costs

Mileage Tracking

Given that you are claiming vehicle costs for tax purposes, an ethical practice should be kept in mind which is why it is so important to track your mileage, In the event of a Tax Audit, you can provide documentation to support the business use of your vehicle. You can track your mileage using the following apps:

• TripLog
• MileIQ

Zero-Emission Vehicles

Given the rise in popularity of electric vehicles (EV), you should know that you might actually benefit from owning one. There are a few incentives that are worth checking out if you are an EV owner. In the case that you lease a vehicle that is eligible, you can qualify for a federal rebate worth $5,000. Not only this but if you buy a vehicle that qualifies you can get a 100% write-off in the year that you purchased this vehicle. Whereas this is only 30% for a gas-powered vehicle. But keep in mind that you can get either rebate or the tax write-off, not both! You can get more information about this on the Government of Canada website.

All in all, buying or leasing a company vehicle can be difficult and you want to ensure that you do not take any wrong steps. Well, you do not need to worry about this when you hire H&T Accounting Services for all your financial needs. Book a consultation with us today!

Canadian small businesses are going to experience substantial changes to year-end financial statements in December 2021.

This text will review the forthcoming changes along with important points for business owners to consider moving forward.

1. Who exactly do these changes affect?

The adjustments will affect a huge amount of Canadian small businesses.

Small Canadian business owners who appoint an accountant to prepare “Notice to Reader” financial statements. These are also called “NRTs”, “Compilation Engagements”, and “year-end financial statements”.  

If your year-end financial statements are not “Audited/Reviewed” by an accountants Mississauga, it can cause a negative impact to you and your business. 

2. What do you call these changes?

The “Notice to Reader” financial statements are going to be known as “Compilation Engagement” financial statements. The specific standard that many may be used to seeing is Canadian Standard on Related Services 4200 along with CSRS 4200.

3. When Do the Changes Take Effect?

These changes will be taken into effect for recorded financial statements for cycles ending by December 14, 2021 or after the resulting date.

4. Why are the guidelines of  financial statements changing?

Many factors are taken into consideration for changes to be made. The sole reasons are summarized below!

Standardizing the Amount of Work Put in by Accountants.

There is a broad range of work accountants do while preparing Notice to Reader Financial Statements.

As of now, your accountant is only entitled to get your financial information and put it onto financial statements. It can even mean bringing pieces together just for the compiling of an income statement and balance sheet. 

5. Who is entitled to utilize Financial Statements?

The existing “Notice to Reader” standard presumes that financial statements are just going to be used within business owners and their administration.  Though, in actuality banks and investors have access to these financial statements as well so that they can obtain loans and external investments.

To make sure Third Parties know what Compiled Financials imply.

Since there is such an array of the work accountants put in when preparing Notice of Reader financial statements, third parties such as a bank or investor might not know what they are staring at. 

In example, a prospective investor will find that the accountant that produced the Notice of Reader statement merged bank accounts and asked for the firm’s financial information. 

Even if that is not the case, the accountant might not even access any of that information which brings in a question of accuracy within the financial statements.

However, the new policy and standards will ensure what procedures the accountants are expected to follow when formulating Compiled Financial Statements. Which will also allow third party corporations to have more confidence with the accountants preparing accurate financial statements. 

To Ensure the Basis of Accounting by Businesses are the same. 

Reporting Standards today do not necessitate the basis of accounting procedure to be unveiled on financial statements.

Which makes things harder since there can be two different accounting procedures when looking at different businesses. 

Thankfully, the changes that are coming up will necessitate the basis of accounting to be stipulated on the financial statements.

6. What does this imply for business owners?

Do you think this will bring any change to you for being the owner of a business?

The accountant you are with will ask you a lot of questions.

Your accountant will get clear insight of your business which will help compile accurate statements. Questions such as

• Basis of Accounting- What Basis of accounting was in use? 
• Intended Users- Who will these financial statements go to? Who are the intended users that your business will share these files?
• Third parties such as investors and banks- Will any third-party users be able to get any more information? The accountants will ensure that they have approved based on accounting being in place.

• Consult with an accountant!

You have until December 2021 to ask any questions as the accounting firm will be preparing for the brand-new standards. 

If you have not heard anything from your accountant about this change, reach out to them now and examine how it will affect your business.

Starting a business is no small task, so we don’t treat it like one. It takes tremendous courage to take your magnificent caffeine-fuelled idea and turn it into a legitimate business. It can be both scary and exciting at the same time; scary as you’re investing all your time and energy into an idea without the guarantee that it will work out and be successful. 

We encourage entrepreneurs to begin with the end in mind. Because you’re right. It is a scary journey. But with the right plan in place, it doesn’t have to be quite as anxiety-inducing as a Google search tells us it’s going to be when we’re starting out.  

Here are the top 5 common pitfalls we see and how you can avoid them:

1. The Tangled Personal/business Charlie Foxtrot Of A Bank Account

This is number 1 for a reason. If you decide not to do anything else, please do your future self a favor and open a separate bank account and credit card for your business. All of your expenses and income must run through here and come tax time, you will thank your past seld and first bump them fist bump for their thoughtful consideration.

2. Trying To Do It All Yourself

Being an entrepreneur is hard work as it is, everyone has their talents and their enjoyments. At some point, you will want to outsource the non-core functions (marketing, accounting, etc.)  of your business. For obvious reasons, it is not viable to outsource everything in the early days, hence you will have to suck it up and work those overtime hours evenings and add that eighth day we wish they would add to the week. Although, having at least one person on your side can be critical to your success. Pick your least favorite thing to do and hire someone else that is good at it to do it.

3. Getting Distracted By Opportunity

Once you make the jump, the world and opportunities really do open up. There is so much opportunity out there. Staying focused and committed to your task at hand can become quite difficult, especially if you are an ambitious individual. But it is important you stay focused. Setting goals will help steer you away from these distractions that might seem like they are great opportunities. 

4. Ignoring Your Salary

If your business model does not include paying yourself, you are volunteering and not building a business! This is really important to understand, often you might think you are sacrificing for the greater but in actuality you are not. What do you pay yourself? What you are worth, of course! Even if you can’t afford to pay yourself in the early days, make a plan to do so. It will definitely pay off. 

5. Not Knowing The End Game

What does success look like to you? Writing this down somewhere and looking at it constantly can help immensely during times of uncertainty, exhaustion, and overwhelm. Having a vision board can help in those tough times of duality.

These pitfalls can be hard to avoid all by yourself, H&T Accounting is here to help you and your business succeed. Call us today and discover how our services from our experienced team can help you take your business to the next level!

As your small business continues to grow, so do the customers and sales. You feel like all that hard work is paying off until you see your profits. You’re shocked that they do not match the growth of your business. Now, no need to worry this simply just means that you need to examine the following areas to address this issue.

Investing back into your business

It’s an intelligent move to invest a fraction of your profits back into your business to help it grow. The best growth strategies – especially fast ones, require you to spend some money. This consists of marketing materials, ads, branding, and many others. However, it’s still important to track costs and make informed decisions to get a reasonable ‘Return on Investment (ROI).

For the majority of businesses, it is recommended to allot 5% of your revenue to your marketing budget. Although if you are starting out this might not be enough; businesses that are newer usually have to spend more capital toward marketing in order to get themselves off the ground and build a loyal customer base. Many of these costs can include; buying website domains, designing a logo, and buying ad space to target your ideal demographic.

When it comes to accounting, the money spent on marketing and promotion will be counted as an expense that will impact how profitable your business appears. But they are not thought of as a “pure” expense. They’re more an asset as they provide you with an economic benefit and a clientele that will help your business grow. These costs can be thought of as a fundamental investment. Like any investment, you can be carefully tracking your ROI (or return on investment) and making adjustments when you’re not getting your money’s worth. For example, if you’re paying for an ad on Facebook and you’re not getting the clicks and traction you hoped for, it may be time for you to reconsider your strategy and assign that investment money elsewhere.

You are not tracking your fixed costs

Your fixed costs or also known as overheads are the consistent operating expenses of your business, they can be one of the major reasons why your profits might not be matching your growth. Some fixed costs can include:

• Government Licenses or Permits
• Utilities
• Insurance Payments
• Rent

A great way to know the expense of these fixed costs is to have a clear picture of the company’s financial records. This allows you to work your way through and track your profits, expenses and many more. Knowing this can allow you to come up with a budget and cut down or eliminate unnecessary fixed costs.

Team Growth

It is a great and exciting experience to bring in your employees as they are a great way to grow your business. But, keep in mind as your business grows so does the team and along with this, you are tied to more expenses. This could mean marketing materials and hiring new staff and this can have an impact on your profits hence why your profits might be the same or even less as you grow.

With a growing team it is similar to overhead costs, not only are you paying more salary every month you’re also spending money on the time and equipment it takes to train a new employee.

Here at H&T for hiring, we recommend a similar mindset as expanding overhead costs: growth for the sake of it is expensive. But bringing on new team members to match the load of your work and business size is both a great and wise investment.
If you still have a hard time setting your profit goals or how to cut down on expenses it might be a good idea to consult with H&T Accountants and/or a financial advisor. Doing so can allow you to maximize your profits.

As a small business owner, we can often think that the odds are stacked against us when it comes to capital and finances. But it is important for small business owners to be informed that the Canadian tax system is set up to your advantage. You can build wealth within your company and for retirement.  As hard as it might be to believe, there are methods to create wealth right within the tax system that are encouraged by the government.

Firstly, it is important to understand that the Canadian tax system is broken up into two parts: personal and corporate tax. 

Personal Tax vs. Corporate Tax

Personal tax rates can be quite high. You may pay high personal tax rates and, in a way, this makes sense. The government wants you to pay its money before you go and spend it somewhere else. This is what GST (Goods and Service Tax) and HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) are all about. This tax (consumption tax) is a way of trying to prevent you from overspending.

On the other hand, we have corporate tax, small business tax rates are between 9% and 15% based on which province you live in. Although it might seem arbitrary, the corporate tax rate is much lower than the personal tax rate since the government wants you to contribute towards the economy.

Income Retention in Corporation

We all love paying the lowest amount possible in taxes which is why some entrepreneurs may potentially keep as much income earned and build a nest egg in your corporation. But, due to recent tax changes by the government, they have discouraged this and are trying to stop this from happening. The government still wants you to save capital for the future but just not this way, instead here are the recommended methods of doing so.

Method 1 – RRSPS

Instead, the government wants you to payout your salary, and use RRSPs. This method can be used for saving for the future, the government wants you to do so using that salary that you earn. You simply create a RRSP contribution room and retirement fund, and it grows quite quickly as taxes aren’t paid now but down the road in the future. Overall, you have a greater amount of money to start with which further grows and helps a lot as retirement reaches.

Method 2 – Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption

This method is quite valuable and can change the way you think about your business in a positive manner. This big tax incentive by the government is policy-based, basically what the government wants is for you to create a treasured business that you could potentially sell in the future and obtain tax-free money. The strategy to carry this out is through the lifetime capital gains exemption. This policy is a method and not a loophole, additionally it’s not going away any time soon. It’s very policy-based, simply put the government wants you to create a company that’s not going to croak when you die or retire. In return for this, the government is offering $900,000 of tax-free money for selling the shares of your small business corporation that qualifies.

This is such a treasured tool for retirement and creating wealth, yet it is often overlooked. The primary reason it is overlooked is that it is a lot of work to achieve this. Many things need to be resolved within the business to ensure that it is sellable. It can be quite complicated but with the help of professionals at H&T Accounting Services, you can achieve this.

Collectively, there are many ways you can set yourself up for success as a small business owner with the help of the government policies and rules. Understanding how the tax system works is crucial to avail these opportunities and retire with as much capital as you possibly can. It is important to understand that having an accountant or financial advisor that understands your goals can only help you achieve this. Book an appointment with us today to take your small business to the next level whilst setting yourself up for success.

Are you someone who is looking to claim personal tax? Have you thought about hiring an accounting service to help you file the claim? If you said yes to both these questions then keep scrolling down because we have got you covered.

Why Should You Claim A Personal Tax Return?

Home office expenses are usually claimed on a personal tax return. The deductions help in reducing the amount of your income that you pay on the tax. This means that your overall liability on income tax also gets reduced.

What Is The Temporary Flat Rate Method? How Is It Calculated Through Accounting Services?

A temporary flat rate method helps in simplifying your claim for a home office expense. This includes the home expenses, the office supply, and the phone expenses all at the same time. So, if you are someone who is still working half the time from home, you can easily claim $2 for every day you worked from home. The period of working from home should at least be four consecutive weeks after the pandemic hit the world. As an individual, you can claim $400 at maximum for working from home under the home office expenses for employees working through COVID-19. Just keep in mind that this method of calculating the claim would only work after 2020.

Here Is How You Can Easily Do Auditing Yourself And Calculate What You Should Add To This Claim:

• Do not calculate the area of your working space.
• Do not keep any supporting documents with you.

Here is how your employer can calculate the claim by not doing the following:

• They do not have to complete the form or sign up at T2200S or T2200 like employees.

Here are a few easy steps to help you find out if you are capable of filing for the claim or not:

1. Find Out If You Are Eligible

You can easily find out whether or not you are eligible to file for the claim.

2. Fill Out The Form

When you start filling out the form, you need to calculate the total number of days you worked from home in the year 2020 when the pandemic hit the world and then multiply the total number of days by $2. Remember that you can only go up to $400 for the claim you are seeking in return. So, the maximum number of days you worked from home can only be 200 days.

3. Determine An Appropriate Number Of Days You Worked From Home

The best way to calculate your total number of days is by using the temporary flat rate method. Just follow the process and then attach the form to your income tax return.

4. Claim The Deduction On Your Tax Return

In the form, you will see Line 9939, you should add the claim amount over there with your other home office expenses.

The Canada Child Benefit (CCB) is administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). It is a tax-free payment that’s provided on a monthly basis to eligible families who have children that are under 18. In addition, the Canada Child Benefits might also provide a child disability benefit, including other related territorial and provincial programs.

The Canada Child Benefit is paid to eligible families from July until June of the next year. This benefit is based on several factors. In order to qualify to receive this benefit, a family needs to meet these four important conditions:

1. You have a child who is still under 18.
2. You are the sole caretaker of this child and responsible for their upbringing.
3. You live in Canada and are a resident who is required to file tax returns.
4. You and/or your partner is a citizen of Canada, a protected person, a permanent resident, a temporary person (been in the country for the last eighteen months and has a valid permit for the nineteenth month), or is an indigenous person living under the Indian Act.

You will be considered as the primarily caretaker of the child if you are responsible for supervising the daily activities and other needs of the child, making sure that all of their medical needs are met, including arranging childcare when needed.

How much will a family receive?

The amount of money a family receives is based on a couple of things like:

• The number and ages of qualified children present in the family.
• The family’s net income for the last tax year.

Furthermore, you can also use a reliable online calculator in order to get an estimation of the amount of money you might receive. This is also going to calculate whether you qualify for the Child Disability Benefit or not. A lot of the community agencies can help you when it comes to finding information about family and child tax benefits, hence make sure to get in touch with them.

How can you apply for the Canada Child Benefit?

You can apply for the CCB by choosing one of the three different methods. The first method is by using you birth registration. This takes place when you are registering the birth of your child at the hospital. Also, there are certain provinces that allow online registration. You need to give your consent before sharing your Social Insurance Number (SIN) and give permission to the Vital Statistics Agency to share your birth registration number with the Canada Revenue Agency.

The second method involves logging into your CRA account. After you have logged in, go to the ‘Apply For Child Benefits’ section and fill in the required fields like your contact, citizenship, marital status, name of your child, gender, place and date of birth. After you have reviewed your application, submit it. You might have to provide additional documents to the CRA, if asked for it. You can do that by navigating to the ‘Submit Documents’ section in your CRA account.

The third method consists of mailing the application package. You would have to download form RC66 and fill it up. This is the Canada Child Benefits Application, and you have to attach other required documents too. Next, you would need to mail the entire package (make sure it is signed) to your tax centre.

It’s hard times. And you have an idea in which you want to aid communities by providing some sort of pandemic relief programs through a charity. Don’t know where to begin or what information you need? We can help! We have provided some basic information in the discussion below. 

Where to apply with your charity registration application? 

The CRA has encouraged that before you apply for a charity, research and consider if there are other registered charities that are already established, that you donate or offer services to those firstly. However, if you still wish to apply and register, please do so online. Please note, due to the pandemic delays, review of paper and digital based applications have been delayed compared to the normal standards and will hopefully improve with time. 

Applying your T3010

In submitting your  Form T3010, Registered Charity Information Return, please note that the filing deadline has been extended to December 31st, 2020. The form is due between March 18, 2020 and December 31, 2020. The easiest way to submit this form is online through My Business Account for charities 

Staying Compliant 

In understanding the amount of work and support our charities do for our communities, the CRA wants to make sure that they are able to provide support during this difficult time of the pandemic. In resuming all compliance activities to keep the public and employees safe, an education-first approach will be maintained to compliance. 

Auditing 

With respect to auditing, the CRA’s Charities Directorate will be requesting charities to resume ongoing charity audits, initiate the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy post-payment audits and begin new audits. 

Charity Revocations 

With the many customers H&T Accounting Services work with, we encourage everyone to continue staying compliant with all the requirements of their registered charities. Failure to comply has implications and your registration may be revoked. During this time, the CRA has resumed processing revocations for failure to comply with charity requirements. Please remember revocations will relate to reporting periods that predate the pandemic months. The CRA will be sending out multiple notices that will need to be addressed and if they believe that the registration needs to be revoked for whatever reason, they will send out a letter in the mail stating why, also explaining your rights for objection and appeal.

H&T Accounting Services understand that keeping up with all these changing regulations and procedures can be frustrating at times, however, we are here to assist you every step of the way! Do not hesitate any longer, reach an expert today!
