Do You Have a Year-Round Tax-Saving Strategy?
Do not answer with a feeling. Answer with evidence.
Use this four-point self-audit:
1. Can you show evidence that you consistently do this: Maintain a deadline calendar and assign responsibility for every filing and payment.
2. Can you show evidence that you consistently do this: Plan before the transaction happens. Tax planning after year-end has fewer options.
3. Can you show evidence that you consistently do this: Track income tax, HST, payroll remittances, and instalments separately so one obligation does not hide another.
4. Can you show evidence that you consistently do this: Keep invoices and receipts that clearly show the supplier, date, amount, business purpose, and applicable GST/HST.
Score yourself:
• 4 yes answers: your process is likely controlled.
• 2 to 3 yes answers: strengthen the weak steps this month.
• 0 to 1 yes answers: this should become a priority before it costs you cash, time, or compliance.
First action: Create a one-page tax calendar showing your fiscal year-end, T2 filing deadline, HST periods, payroll deadlines, and expected instalments.
