Tax Return Preparation

RN Canada prepares corporate and personal tax returns for owner-managed businesses across Alberta and British Columbia. We take your books and records and turn them into an accurate, complete return — your T2 corporation return, your T1 personal return and your GST/HST returns — checked line by line, with every deduction and credit you are entitled to claimed, and ready to file ahead of the deadlines that apply to you. The aim is a return you can stand behind: correct figures, clean supporting work, and no surprises.

What's included

• Corporate (T2) return preparation — preparing your federal T2, including the Alberta AT1 where a permanent establishment exists in Alberta.
• Personal (T1) return preparation — preparing returns for owners and individuals, including self-employment, investment and dividend income.
• GST/HST return preparation — preparing your GST/HST returns from your tracked tax collected and input tax credits, aligned to your filing frequency.
• Small-business deduction work — preparing the return to reflect the $500,000 business limit and how it is shared across associated companies.
• Deduction and credit review — making sure every deduction and credit you qualify for is captured before the return is finalised.
• Deadline-aware preparation — preparing returns with enough lead time that they are ready to file before your filing and payment deadlines.

Preparation, not filing — and why it matters

Our role is to prepare your returns: to assemble the figures, apply the rules, claim what you are entitled to, and produce a return that is accurate and ready to file. This is a preparation service, not a filing service. Once a return is prepared, we work alongside you on the filing step, but the filing itself stays in your hands. Framing the work as preparation keeps the responsibility lines clear — you get a return you can rely on, and you stay in control of the filing.

Deadlines we prepare to meet

The deadlines below are your obligations as the taxpayer; our job is to have an accurate return prepared and ready well before each one.

Corporate. A T2 return is due within six months of the corporation's fiscal year-end. Any balance owing is due two months after year-end, extended to three months for a Canadian-controlled private corporation claiming the small-business deduction — so the payment deadline can fall before the filing deadline.

Personal. The T1 return is due April 30. Self-employed individuals have until June 15 to file, but any balance owing is still due April 30. We prepare your T1 with enough lead time to meet whichever deadline applies to you.

The figures we work with

Corporate rates. A Canadian-controlled private corporation claiming the small-business deduction is taxed at the federal 9% small-business rate plus Alberta's 2% small-business rate on active business income up to the $500,000 business limit — roughly an 11% combined rate. Income above the limit is taxed at the federal 15% general rate plus Alberta's 8% general rate, about 23% combined. We prepare your T2 to reflect the rate and limit that apply to your situation. Sources: Corporation tax rates — Canada.ca and Corporate income tax — Alberta.ca.

GST/HST. If you are registered, we prepare your GST/HST returns from the tax you collected and the input tax credits on what you bought. Registration is mandatory once taxable revenues exceed $30,000 over a single calendar quarter or over the last four consecutive calendar quarters.

Who it's for

This service fits Alberta and BC owner-managers who need an accurate T2 prepared each year, professionals operating through a corporation, and individuals with self-employment, rental, investment or dividend income who want their T1 prepared correctly. It works best when paired with clean books — accurate bookkeeping is what makes a return fast to prepare and easy to stand behind.
