RN Canada is an Edmonton-based accounting and advisory firm, and Edmonton is home to our head office. We provide bookkeeping, T2 and Alberta AT1 corporate tax filing, GST, payroll, and fractional CFO advisory to founders and owner-managed businesses across the city. If you need more than a tax preparer but are not ready for a full-time finance team, that gap is exactly what we fill. This page covers what we do for Edmonton businesses and how the 2026 Alberta tax rules apply to a company based here.
Edmonton's 2026 tax setup at a glance
Because Edmonton is in Alberta, your business benefits from the most founder-friendly tax structure in Canada.
There is no provincial sales tax. Only the 5% federal GST applies to taxable sales, so an Edmonton retailer, contractor, or services firm manages a single sales tax rather than the GST-plus-PST combination businesses face in British Columbia. You register for GST once taxable revenue exceeds $30,000.
On corporate income, Alberta charges 2% on small-business income and 8% on general income in 2026. With the federal 9% small-business rate and 15% general rate layered on, an Edmonton corporation pays a combined 11% on its first $500,000 of active business income and 23% above that — one of the lowest combined rates in the country. That low rate shapes salary-versus-dividend decisions and how much profit you retain inside the company.
Edmonton employers also pay no provincial payroll tax and no employer health tax. Hiring costs you federal CPP (5.95% up to the $74,600 YMPE), CPP2 (4% from $74,600 to $85,000), and EI — but nothing at the provincial level. And as an Alberta company, you file a federal T2 plus a separate Alberta AT1 corporate return.

What does an Edmonton fractional CFO actually do? A fractional CFO gives you senior finance leadership part-time: cash-flow forecasting, financial modelling, budgeting, pricing analysis, financing and lender readiness, and board-level reporting — without the cost of a full-time CFO. It suits Edmonton businesses past the bookkeeper stage that face bigger decisions but do not yet need a full-time hire.
Do Edmonton corporations file an Alberta AT1 return? Yes. Every Alberta corporation, including those based in Edmonton, files a federal T2 return with the CRA and a separate Alberta AT1 corporate income tax return with Alberta Tax and Revenue Administration. Both are generally due within six months of the company's fiscal year-end. We handle both filings as part of a corporate engagement.
What taxes does an Edmonton small business pay in 2026? An Edmonton small business pays the 5% federal GST on taxable sales (Alberta has no PST), and corporate income tax at a combined 11% on the first $500,000 of active business income (2% Alberta plus 9% federal) and 23% above it. There is no Alberta payroll or employer health tax; employers remit federal CPP, CPP2, and EI.
Can RN Canada help an Edmonton business that wants to stay fully remote? Yes. Although our head office is in Edmonton, most engagements run through cloud accounting software and video meetings. Whether you want to drop by the office on 181 Street or never visit at all, the work — bookkeeping, tax filing, and fractional CFO advisory — is delivered the same way.
