Small Business Taxes

We get it – navigating Canadian taxes as a small business owner or self-employed person can seem daunting at first. Like any other employment income, the money you earn from your small business is subject to taxation. Fortunately, there are plenty of legitimate ways you can bring this figure down by claiming the tax deductions that you are entitled to.

On this page, we’ve gathered many of our most popular articles on small business taxes. You’ll discover how to pay your taxes online through the Canada Revenue Agency’s online portal, some of the most common CRA-approved deductions small businesses can claim, and steps you can take to avoid a tax audit.

If it feels like your costs have increased exponentially the last few months, you aren’t alone. Running a business is more expensive than ever, with hiring, operations, marketing and materials all taking a big bite out of small business budgets.

As concerning as that sounds, grants are a great way for your business to deal with increasing prices. According to research carried out by Granted, only 35% of Canadian companies have attempted to get grant funding. In fact, many aren’t even aware of the grants available to them. Stephanie Sang, Granted Consulting, is here to change that.

Join our resident ‘Grant Angel’ and learn about the grants available to your small business. You’ll discover how your business can apply for grant funding, and make inflation woes a thing of the past.
