View pricing and conditions →We help self-employed clients look beyond the expenses they already know to claim. By understanding your work and reviewing your records, we can identify eligible deductions and tax-saving opportunities relevant to your circumstances. We explain what needs further review before recommending next steps.
We welcome inquiries from self-employed people and commission earners across Ontario. Tell us what you do, how you are paid and whether you operate personally, through a partnership or through a corporation. Your work arrangement and business activities determine the records and tax filings to review.
Receiving a commission does not automatically make you self-employed. An employee’s commissions form part of employment income; eligible employment expenses may require an employer-completed T2200 and a T777 calculation. A sole proprietor generally reports business or professional income and expenses on T2125 with their T1. Incorporated businesses have separate T2 returns. We review your work arrangement and records to establish the filing scope.
Gather statements, invoices and tax slips from each source. Identify commissions, advances, renewals, chargebacks, platform fees, reimbursements and other adjustments where relevant. Deposits alone may not show gross income or amounts withheld. If you have both employment and self-employment income, keep the supporting records for each activity clear.
Start with organized records for each business activity, including costs you are unsure how to classify. Explain how each cost relates to your work and identify any personal-use portion. We review supporting records and the applicable tax treatment so eligible claims are considered; a receipt alone does not establish a deduction.
For an unincorporated business, the business results generally form part of the owner’s T1 return. GST/HST reporting is a separate matter and depends on the business’s activities and registration status. If your business is incorporated, ask about corporate T2 preparation. Our service focuses on tax preparation and related filings; ongoing bookkeeping is outside the practice’s scope.
Keep records for each activity distinct. Mention both income sources so the preparation discussion covers the full picture.

The reminder may concern advance payments for the current year. Paying a prior-year balance does not settle that question. Bring the reminder, your latest assessments, current income and expense summaries, and payments already made. We can confirm whether an instalment review is included in the agreed work; do not reduce a payment without checking the calculation.
