Nil T2 Filing for Ontario Corporations
Ontario accounts for 87,990 of the 199,800 corporations that filed a T2 for the first time in Canada in 2023, and every Ontario corporation files a T2 with the Canada Revenue Agency each year, including a year with no activity. Ontario corporate income tax is reported on that same federal T2, so there is no separate Ontario corporate tax return. The Ontario annual return is different: since October 2021 it has been filed through the Ontario Business Registry, and it is not covered by the $300.00 fee. We prepare your nil T2, a CPA reviews it, you sign Form T183CORP, and we transmit the return electronically from our Toronto office. Your CRA confirmation is emailed within 3 business days.
