Canadian business filings

Never miss a filing again.

FileClear reads how your business is set up and builds the exact calendar that follows from it. Every date, every form, every authority. Incorporated or not.

A CPA charges $2,000 to $4,000 a year to keep track of this. FileClear is $29 a month, free until you file from it, and there is no card to begin.

The problem

Several obligations. Different clocks. Two governments.

No single place tells you which of them are yours, which is why the deadline people miss is usually one they never knew existed.

30 Aprilwhen a self-employed person’s balance is due, six weeks before the return itself. The filing date was extended and the payment date was not.

60 daysafter your incorporation anniversary, if you are federal. Nothing else you owe runs on that clock.

2021when the Ontario annual return moved to the provincial registry and stopped riding along with the T2.

How it works

Answer a few questions once.

All of it comes off documents you already have. Nothing needs an accountant to fill in.

Describe the business

Incorporated or not, where and when it started, your HST registration, whether anybody is on payroll.

Get your calendar

Every date those answers produce, with the form, the authority, and what happens if it slips. We email before each one.

File with the numbers

HST returns worked out both ways, year end figures, and the amounts each form asks for, on a T2 or a T2125.

Why yours differs

Two businesses, two completely different years.

Same revenue, same city, same work. The first question during setup, and almost nothing about their calendars matches.

A sole proprietorship

calendar year · no employees · annual HST

The balance due 30 April, and the return itself 15 June
HST on exactly the same two dates, for exactly the same reason
No T2, and no annual return to any registry
A registered business name that expires after five years with nothing to chase it

A federal corporation

30 Jun year end · dividends · quarterly HST

Annual return to Corporations Canada, 60 days after the incorporation anniversary
T2 six months after year end, tax payable two or three months after it
T5 slips by the end of February
Four HST returns, counted back from a June year end

Pricing

One price. Every filing.

A CPA charges $2,000 to $4,000 a year to do what is on this page. FileClear does not file for you, and it does not charge like something that does.

Monthly

$29per month

Cancel any time. Cancelling stops the next payment and leaves the period you have paid for running to its end.

As many businesses as you run

There is no tier where the calendar stops at three filings. Prices in Canadian dollars, HST added where it applies. FileClear works out what you owe and when; it is not certified by CRA and does not file anything for you.
