Federal T2 and Alberta AT1
Identify whether the corporation had a permanent establishment in Alberta during the tax year and whether an exemption applies. Do not assume the federal T2 replaces the AT1.
CANADA · ALBERTA
Tax help in Alberta, starting with your situation.
An Alberta corporation may need an Alberta AT1 return as well as its federal T2. Alberta Tax and Revenue Administration administers provincial corporate income tax separately. Cavait collects the entity, permanent-establishment facts, year-end records and account details before the filing scope is confirmed.
WHAT WE CHECK
A local workflow, scoped to your facts.
Choose personal or business help during intake. You can include more than one service; a person reviews the exact work and fee before you commit.
Records and online correspondence
Keep federal and provincial account information, prior returns, payments and notices organized together. Alberta’s TRACS correspondence can be important for deadlines and account changes.
Personal and business work
Separate the owner’s personal return from the company’s tax, GST and payroll records. Activity in other provinces adds its own review.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you start.
Does an Alberta corporation need a separate provincial return?+
Unless exempt, a corporation with a permanent establishment in Alberta during the tax year must file an Alberta AT1. This is separate from its federal corporate filing; the facts and exceptions need review.
Can Cavait transmit my AT1 directly?+
Cavait does not claim an active direct Alberta transmission channel. Filing scope, certified software and the authorized professional are confirmed before engagement.
VERIFY THE CURRENT RULES
Tax rules and filing programs change. These are primary tax authority sources for Alberta.

Useful tax answers
Student taxes start with a short list of facts.
Students may have employment income, tuition information, scholarships, moving costs or other tax items that affect a return. Start by gathering the slips and school records that apply to you, then check the current CRA rules for the tax year you are filing.
Your first Canadian return begins with the timeline.
For newcomers, the date you entered Canada, your residency facts and income before and after arrival can matter. Keep your immigration timeline, Canadian tax slips and relevant foreign-income records together so the return can be scoped correctly.
Investment taxes are easier when the records tell the story.
Investment tax reporting depends on what you owned, the account type, income received and any dispositions during the year. Keep broker slips, transaction history and adjusted-cost information together, especially when assets moved between institutions or currencies.
Treat the rental like a set of records, not a pile of receipts.
Canadian rental-property reporting starts with gross rent, ownership, property details and support for expenses. Separate operating costs from larger property improvements and keep purchase, sale and financing records because they can matter beyond one tax year.

Ontario tax help
In Ontario, a personal return connects federal and provincial income tax. For corporations, the CRA administers Ontario corporate income tax through a harmonized T2 return. Businesses may also need GST/HST and payroll work. Cavait starts by mapping which of those jobs actually applies to you.
British Columbia tax help
A B.C. business may have a federal GST account and a separate provincial sales tax obligation. Those are different systems. We ask what you sell, where your customers are and which accounts you already have before scoping returns or bookkeeping.
Québec tax help
Québec brings Revenu Québec into the tax workflow. For many businesses, GST and QST registration and returns need to be considered together. Personal and corporate income tax work also needs the right Québec-specific review, so we do not treat it as another province with identical forms.
Canada tax help
Canadian tax work starts with residency, the tax year and whether you are filing as a person or a business. Federal and provincial obligations connect, but Québec and Alberta can introduce separate administration. Cavait provides online intake, records organization and scope coordination; the required professional and filing channel are confirmed before an engagement.
