An Ontario filing profile, handled from Alberta
Ontario businesses file a single harmonized tax at 13 percent rather than the 5 percent Alberta firms see, and the input tax credit work that goes with it is heavier. That is the practical difference in running a Toronto file, and it is a difference of process rather than of geography.
HBT is in Calgary and does not have a Toronto office. What it offers Toronto owners is a CPA led engagement with published prices, secure record exchange and the same person on the file each year. For businesses tired of being a small account at a large downtown firm, that trade is often the right one.
What a Toronto engagement covers
HST at the Ontario rate
Registration, returns and input tax credits at 13 percent rather than the Alberta 5 percent GST.
Corporate year end and T2
Filed federally with Ontario corporate tax handled through the same return.
Payroll wherever staff sit
Source deductions, T4 slips and records of employment for Ontario employees.
How the work begins

Step 3: A remote rhythm
Monthly or annual, with records moving securely and one person answering.
Can a Calgary accountant file for a Toronto corporation?
Yes. An Ontario corporation files one T2 with the CRA, which collects Ontario corporate tax on the same return. Ontario HST at 13 percent is filed with the CRA as well. The engagement runs remotely with records exchanged securely. HBT has no Toronto office and does not present one.
