💸 Cash flow and profit are not the same.

Profit measures what remains after income and expenses are accounted for, while cash flow focuses on the actual movement of money into and out of your business.

Understanding both can give you a more complete picture of your financial position and help you make better decisions.

❇️ For Ontario corporations, the CRA lists a 3.2% provincial lower corporate income tax rate and an 11.5% higher rate.

Which rate applies depends on the type of income and whether the corporation qualifies for the relevant small business treatment.

💁 Corporate tax rates can be complex. Make sure your business is planning with the right information.

💫 A corporation generally has to file its T2 Corporation Income Tax Return within six months of the end of its tax year.

However, the deadline to pay any balance owing can be earlier, depending on the corporation and its circumstances.

💡 Don't confuse the filing deadline with the payment deadline. Plan your corporate taxes well in advance with MUIA Consulting.
