TIPS & TOOLS
We ask questions, perform research and analyze data to increase our knowledge and understanding: We strive for constant and never-ending improvement.
Incorporation
Too often business owners take the advice of a friend and go online to incorporate. Be aware online registries do not give advice. Decisions have to be made as to how to distribute the shares to the shareholders, the importance of keeping a minute book, how to choose your year-end, or the ongoing obligations of a corporation.

The cloud is a technology term that is thrown around heavily these days, but do you know what cloud accounting is? And more importantly, do you know how cloud-based accounting services can help your business?
Taxation Of Non-canadian Citizens Working In Canada
Individuals resident in Canada are subject to Canadian income tax on worldwide income. Relief from double taxation is provided through Canada’s international tax treaties, as well as via foreign tax credits and deductions for foreign taxes paid on income derived from non-Canadian sources.
Personal Service Business (PSB) Risk Assessment

Employee vs. Contractor
This classifier requires you to complete a short questionnaire about the facts of your scenario. We ask up to 30 questions about facts that have been found to influence whether or not a worker is an employee or an independent contractor for employment law purposes. Once you answer all questions, we will compute the likelihood of a worker being classified as an employee or independent contractor (or, if relevant, dependent contractor), comparing your scenario to all previous cases.
Sole Proprietor vs Corporation
Our Corporation calculator lets you work out the potential tax savings you could achieve by Incorporating.
This Calculator will compare the estimated taxes that if you operated as a Sole Proprietor versus the estimated taxes if you operated as a Corporation. Use this calculator to learn the estimated tax savings of choosing one form of organization over the other.
