Managing corporate taxes is a critical aspect of running a successful business in Canada. Understanding the complexities of corporate tax obligations can be challenging, but with the right guidance, it becomes manageable. At Hemani CPA Professional Corporation, we specialize in providing comprehensive corporate tax services tailored to meet the unique needs of your business.
Understanding Corporate Taxes in Canada
In Canada, corporations are required to file annual income tax returns and remit various taxes, including the Goods and Services Tax (GST) or Harmonized Sales Tax (HST), payroll deductions, and other levies.
Federal rates: The basic rate of Part I tax is 38% of your taxable income, 28% after federal tax abatement. After the general tax reduction, the net tax rate is 15%.
For Canadian-controlled private corporations claiming the small business deduction, the net tax rate is between 9% – 12%.
Provincial or territorial rates: Generally, provinces and territories have two rates of income tax – a lower rate and a higher rate. The rate varies, depending on the provincial jurisdiction.
Lower rate: The lower rate applies to the income eligible for the federal small business deduction. One component of the small business deduction is the business limit. Some provinces or territories choose to use the federal business limit. Others establish their own business limits.
Higher rate: The higher rate applies to all other income.
