GST and payroll are the two areas CRA scrutinizes most.

Late filings, missed remittances, and incorrect input tax credit claims are the most common triggers for CRA reviews and penalties. These aren't complex problems — but they require consistent, accurate attention. That's what Laurence provides.

01

Directors of corporations can be personally liable for unremitted payroll source deductions. This is not a corporate liability — it follows you personally.

02

GST/HST errors on real estate transactions and construction projects are among the most common and most expensive CRA assessments.

03

Missing the annual GST/HST election threshold means you may be collecting and remitting on a suboptimal schedule — costing you cash flow.

GST/HST — done correctly and on time.

What's Included

Whether you're filing monthly, quarterly, or annually — every return is reviewed, reconciled, and submitted on time. Input tax credits are tracked and maximized. CRA correspondence is handled directly.
