Tax for Controllers

Small, growing, and mid-sized companies face a broad array of income tax, GST/HST and related compliance issues. The penalties or tax costs of failing to meet these compliance requirements can be severe. This seminar will help controllers of private companies stay current on a broad array of income tax, GST/HST and related compliance issues. It covers a range of topics at a general level with specific examples, cases and practical problems.

Controllers in small to mid-sized private companies have a wide range of responsibilities which can either have an impact on taxation or require tax related reporting.  This five part  course is compliance oriented with high level review of a wide range of issues and focus on issue identification. The course includes a review of the basic income tax and HST/GST requirements for human resources, purchases, sales, capital assets and financing issues.  Also included is a high-level review of the basic rules for taxable income, basic corporate group issues, alternative entity structures and reporting requirements.  

GST/HST is covered at a basic level. Detailed GST/HST topics and industry specific material are beyond the scope of this course. There is no provincial tax material included in the course.  Programs related specifically to the COVID-19 pandemic are not reviewed in this course.
