Compliance Obligations

Addressing the full range of tax compliance issues

Indirect tax compliance is a significant challenge for Canadian companies and a potential source of significant risk. Legislation is constantly changing, and rules and sales tax rates can differ vastly, depending on the province where one does business.

BDO’s Indirect Tax practice is led by partners who take a hands-on, proactive approach to meeting clients’ needs. We advise on unique regulatory requirements by identifying indirect tax exposure and requirements to register, while also managing cash flow and optimizing rebates and input tax credits.

We also advise non-residents that are starting businesses in Canada, guiding them through registration and Canadian sales tax returns. In all cases, we aim to minimize liabilities and take advantage of opportunities to reduce tax, and review tax returns to help identify and resolve errors. We tailor our services as needed, especially in circumstances where special compliance is required.
