HTP Income Tax Service

Tax mistakes can be costly for small business owners who are unaware of them. These mistakes can lead to significant financial losses due to lost deductions or penalties. Here are eight common tax mistakes that are often made:

• Mixing personal and business expenses
• Failing to claim legitimate deductions
• Ignoring GST/HST obligations
• Poor bookkeeping practices
• Not tracking mileage for business purposes
• Misplacing receipts
• Not claiming home office deductions
• Forgetting to charge GST/HST.

Avoiding these mistakes can result in substantial savings for businesses. Save this post to refer to during tax season.

Have you filed your return yet?

You could be missing out on benefits like the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit (CGEB) scheduled for July 3

Note that during off-season, hours are Thursdays, 9am-5pm.
By appointment only.

Starting July 2026 the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit (CGEB) will replace the GST/HST credit.

Payments will stay calculated the same way, but quarterly amounts will be up to 25% higher for five years (July 2026–2031). As part of the change, anyone entitled to the GST/HST credit in January 2026 will also receive a one‑time top‑up payment, issued beginning June 5, 2026.
