Completing your corporation income tax (T2) return

All corporations with annual gross revenue of more than $1 million have to file their T2 Corporation Income Tax Return electronically, except for:

• insurance corporations
• non-resident corporations
• corporations reporting in functional currency
• corporations that are exempt from tax payable under section 149 of the Income Tax Act

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will charge a $1,000 penalty for non-compliance if a corporation that is required to file electronically does not comply with the requirement.

Whether you file electronically or use the traditional CRA-issued return to complete your T2 return, you will have different options for filing your return and preparing your financial statements using the General Index of Financial Information (GIFI).
