Engagement Letter

What we will do

Prepare a nil T2 corporate income tax return for the corporation and the tax year you have named, from the information you provide.

Review that information before preparing the return, including the documents you upload, and tell you if anything does not look like a nil year.

Send you the T183CORP to sign, and file the return electronically with the Canada Revenue Agency once it is signed.

Give you the signed T183CORP and the filed return, and keep our own copies for six years.

What this does not cover

Bookkeeping, financial statements, payroll, HST returns, T4 or T5 slips, or any return other than the one T2 named above.

A year that turns out not to be nil. If the review finds activity we will quote you for the work actually needed and start only once you accept.

Amending a return after it is filed, responding to a CRA review or audit, or tax planning of any kind. Each is separate work, quoted before it begins.

We are not auditing anything. We do not verify your records beyond the checks described here, and this engagement expresses no assurance on them.

What you will do

Give us complete and accurate information, and tell us about anything that happened in the year even if you are unsure whether it counts.

Upload the documents we ask for, including the corporation's articles of incorporation and, where the year is not the corporation's first, the prior year's T2 as filed.

Have a director or authorised officer sign the T183CORP. Nothing is filed until that is done.

Meet your own deadlines. A T2 is generally due six months after the year end, and we cannot file a return we have not been given the information for.

Fee

$100 plus 13% HST, $113 in total, for the one corporation and one tax year, payable before the review.

Work beyond this engagement is quoted separately and charged on top. You will always see the price before any of it starts.

Records and confidentiality

What you tell us is confidential and is used only to do the work described here. The Privacy Policy sets out who else handles it and why.

We keep the signed authorisation and the filed return for six years. You should keep your own copy of both, along with the records behind them, for the same period.

Ending the engagement

Either of us may end it before the return is filed. If you end it before the return is prepared, the fee is refunded in full.

We will end it rather than file a return we believe to be untrue, or where information we have asked for is not provided.
