Self-employed tax returns

Who Is This Service For?

This service is ideal for self-employed individuals, freelancers, contractors, and small business owners who earn income through contracting, consulting, or independent business activities. Whether your income is reported on a T4A, T5018, or through your own records, we’ll ensure your return is prepared accurately and filed on time.

What’s Included

Our Self-Employed Tax Return service covers every stage of preparing your annual personal tax return. We review your self-employment income, identify eligible business expenses, and ensure all applicable deductions are included before filing your return with the CRA.

• Review of self-employment income
• Business expense reporting and deductions
• Preparation of your personal income tax return
• Electronic filing with CRA after your approval
• Professional guidance throughout the process

GST/HST Returns for Self-Employed Individuals

If you’re registered for GST/HST, we also prepare and file your GST/HST returns. Our team reviews your sales, expenses, and input tax credits to calculate the correct amount owing or refundable before submitting your return to the CRA.

Accurate GST/HST reporting helps you avoid penalties, maintain compliance, and ensure you’re not paying more tax than necessary.
