Accounting, Payroll & Pension Issues/Fiscal Year End

Advertisement


Question
Hi There, I know that you are in the US and that Canada differs but I am now at the end of my businesses first Fiscal Year End (Sept 1) and I now need to file my annual filing and move into the new fiscal year. What exactly is it that I need to do though? What do I need for my annual filing? I also am using Simply Accounting so I know I need to do things with that to change the year but I don't want to fool around with anything in there unless I know exactly what to do.

Thank You.

Answer
I cannot help with your accounting system as I have never used that type of accounting system.

Depending on your type of business you might need any of the following:

Corporate Tax
Income Tax
HST/GST
Payroll Taxes
PST
Home business Taxes
