Understanding corporate taxes in Canada

When Are Corporate Taxes Due?

In Canada, corporate tax filing deadlines depend on the company’s fiscal year-end:

Filing Deadline: Corporate tax returns must be filed no later than six months after the end of the fiscal year.

Payment Deadline: Any taxes owed must be paid within two months after the fiscal year-end to avoid interest charges.

For example, if a corporation’s fiscal year ends on December 31, the tax return is due by June 30 of the following year, but any balance owing must be paid by February 28.

How Much is the Corporate Tax Rate in Canada?

Corporate tax rates in Canada vary based on the type of business and income level. The two primary tax rates are:

Small Business Deduction (SBD) Rate: 9% federal tax rate on the first $500,000 of active business income for Canadian-controlled private corporations (CCPCs).

General Corporate Tax Rate: 15% federal tax rate for income exceeding the small business limit, plus applicable provincial rates.

In British Columbia, the provincial corporate tax rates are:

2% on the first $500,000 of active business income (CCPCs).
12% on income exceeding $500,000.
Combined federal and provincial corporate tax rates in British Columbia range from 11% to 27%, depending on income levels and business structure.
