本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛I'm one of the three shareholders of an incorporated company, which is registered both in federal level and provincial level (Quebec). We do technical consulting and software development. Not a lot of business, usually $5,000-10,000 a time every two to three months. No major expenses either. I also work in a university with a salary of $39,000.
I have several questions here:
1. For the corporate tax, do we have to pay two taxes, one to the federal, one to the provincial, or just to the provincial?
2. Are there tax exemptions for first year companies, such as ours?
3. Do we have to pay installment? Are there penalties if we don't?
4. Are there any tax shelter options we can explore?
5. Currently we don't have any employees, because we are afraid of all the book keeping involved. What would be the best way for me to pay myself from the company's profit?
6. If we provide consulting to out of province or out of country customers, do we have to collect GST and/or QST? How often do we have to submit the GST/QST?
7. We are thinking of using an accountant, but we have so many questions we don't know where to begin. How do we find a good and trustworthy accountant? Any insights?
I'd appreciate if you could provide any suggestions on this matter. Many thanks.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
