Corporate Tax Filing (T2)
Expert Corporate Tax Filing That Protects Your Bottom Line
Corporate tax filing is more than just meeting CRA deadlines—it’s a strategic opportunity to minimize your tax liability and strengthen your business finances. At Alpine, our Corporate Tax Filing (T2) services provide complete return preparation, financial statement compilation, and proactive tax planning for small to mid-sized businesses. We ensure full compliance while identifying every legal deduction and tax-saving strategy available to Canadian corporations.
Why Professional T2 Tax Filing Matters
Corporate tax regulations in Canada are complex and constantly evolving. Missing deductions, incorrect calculations, or late filings can result in penalties, interest charges, and unwanted CRA scrutiny. Our experienced tax professionals understand the intricacies of corporate taxation, including the small business deduction, capital cost allowances, SR&ED credits, and income splitting strategies. We don’t just file your taxes—we strategically plan throughout the year to reduce your overall tax burden and improve cash flow.

Our T2 Tax Filing Process

Our team prepares complete financial statements including balance sheets, income statements, and retained earnings schedules. We then calculate your corporate tax liability, apply all eligible deductions and credits, and optimize tax allocations between corporate and personal income.
