Three different returns, three different prices
A T2 is not one product. A corporation that traded all year, one that barely moved and one that was dormant need very different amounts of work, so HBT prices them apart. A corporate year end with the T2 starts at $2,500. A company with minimal activity starts at $1,500. A nil return for a dormant corporation starts at $750.
Where compiled financial statements are needed alongside the return, those start at $1,750. An additional corporation in the same group starts at $1,500. Corporate tax planning, which is the work done before the year closes rather than after, is $350 per hour.

How the work begins
A clear process before the accounting starts
- Step 1
Confirm which return this is
Active, minimal activity or nil. That alone sets most of the price.
- Step 2
Look at the records
Reconciled books mean the starting price. A backlog is quoted separately and cleared first.
- Step 3
Price agreed, then filed
The fee in writing before paid work, then the return filed and explained.
