Company Formation Services in Canada
Incorporating in Canada offers a choice between federal incorporation under Corporations Canada and provincial incorporation in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, or other provinces — each with distinct naming rules, filing fees, and extra-provincial registration requirements.
Overview
Fintax Support Limited handles Articles of Incorporation, initial registered office setup, and Business Number (BN) registration with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). We register your GST/HST account, provincial sales tax accounts where applicable, and set up payroll remittance accounts for CPP and EI contributions from your first hire.

Regulatory framework
Federal corporations must file annual returns with Corporations Canada and may need extra-provincial registrations in provinces where they operate. CRA requires GST/HST registration once taxable supplies exceed CAD $30,000 in a single quarter or over four consecutive quarters. New employers must register for a CRA payroll account before issuing the first T4 slip.

Federal Incorporation (Corporations Canada)
Incorporate a business corporation under the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) through Corporations Canada's Online Filing Centre — the preferred structure for companies operating across multiple provinces or seeking a nationally recognised corporate identity. Federal incorporation grants name protection across Canada and requires a registered office in the province where the corporation carries on business. We manage NUANS name search, articles of incorporation drafting, and CBCA filing through the federal online portal.

Federal incorporation under the Canada Business Corporations Act is administered by Corporations Canada and suits businesses planning operations in multiple provinces or seeking enhanced name protection nationwide. The CBCA requires at least one director who is not bankrupt, permits a minimum of one shareholder, and mandates a registered office in a Canadian province where the corporation carries on business. A NUANS name search report — valid for ninety days — must accompany the incorporation application to confirm name availability against existing federal and most provincial corporate names. Filing through the Corporations Canada Online Filing Centre typically yields a certificate of incorporation within one to two business days for complete applications. Post-incorporation, the corporation must register for a CRA Business Number, obtain provincial extra-provincial licences where it maintains offices or employees, and file annual returns with Corporations Canada to maintain good standing.

Provincial Incorporation (All Provinces & Territories)
Incorporate a business corporation under provincial corporate legislation — such as the OBCA in Ontario, BCBCA in British Columbia, or ABCA in Alberta — through the relevant provincial corporate registry. Provincial incorporation suits businesses operating primarily within a single province and typically involves lower ongoing compliance costs than federal CBCA incorporation. We manage NUANS or provincial name clearance, articles drafting, and registry filing across all provinces and territories.

Provincial incorporation governs the majority of Canadian small and medium businesses operating within a single province or territory. Each jurisdiction maintains its own Business Corporations Act — Ontario's OBCA, British Columbia's BCBCA, Alberta's ABCA, and equivalent statutes in Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and the Atlantic provinces — with distinct director residency rules, filing fees, and annual return requirements. Provincial registries process incorporation electronically in most jurisdictions, with turnaround times ranging from same-day to several business days depending on the province. Name clearance typically requires a NUANS report or a provincial-specific name reservation depending on jurisdiction. Unlike federal CBCA corporations, provincially incorporated entities do not require extra-provincial registration in their home province but must register in other provinces where they establish offices or conduct business. We coordinate provincial incorporation with CRA Business Number registration and sector-specific licences.
Common questions

CRA Business Number Registration
Register your corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship for a CRA Business Number — the unique 9-digit identifier that links your entity to all Canada Revenue Agency program accounts. The BN is mandatory for GST/HST registration, payroll remittance, corporate income tax filing, and import/export activities. We prepare and submit the RC1 Request for a Business Number form and coordinate activation of all required CRA program accounts.

The CRA Business Number is a nine-digit identifier formatted as nine digits followed by two-letter program identifiers and four-digit reference numbers — for example, 123456789RT0001 for a GST/HST account. Every corporation must obtain a BN to register for corporate income tax (RC account), and most businesses also require RT and RP accounts for sales tax and payroll obligations. Registration is initiated by submitting the RC1 Request for a Business Number to CRA, typically within days of incorporation or commencement of business operations. The BN links all CRA program accounts under a single entity profile, simplifying remittance, filing, and audit correspondence through CRA My Business Account. Sole proprietors register using their social insurance number, while corporations and partnerships use incorporation or registration documents. We coordinate BN registration with incorporation completion to ensure tax accounts are active before commercial operations and first invoices are issued.

GST/HST Account Setup
Register your business for a GST/HST account with CRA to collect and remit Goods and Services Tax or Harmonized Sales Tax on taxable supplies across Canada. Registration is mandatory once worldwide taxable revenues exceed $30,000 in a single calendar quarter or over four consecutive quarters — voluntary registration is available below the threshold. We manage RT account activation through the RC1 form and configure filing periods for your finance team.

GST/HST registration adds an RT program account to your CRA Business Number, authorising the collection of federal GST at 5% and Harmonized Sales Tax at combined rates in participating provinces — 13% in Ontario, 15% in the Atlantic provinces, and 5% GST only in non-Harmonised provinces such as Alberta and British Columbia where PST applies separately. The $30,000 small supplier threshold exempts businesses below that revenue level from mandatory registration, though voluntary registration enables input tax credit recovery on startup expenses. Registered businesses must file GST/HST returns by assigned due dates — annual filers with revenue under $1.5 million, quarterly for most mid-size businesses, and monthly for larger entities. Quebec businesses must also register separately with Revenu Québec for QST unless specific streamlined rules apply. We coordinate federal GST/HST registration with provincial sales tax obligations in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba where PST operates independently of HST.

Payroll Account Activation
Activate a CRA payroll RP program account before hiring employees or paying director remuneration subject to source deductions in Canada. The payroll account enables remittance of Canada Pension Plan contributions, Employment Insurance premiums, and federal income tax withheld from employee pay. We register the RP account through RC1, configure remittance schedules, and establish PD7A statement workflows for your payroll system.

CRA payroll account activation is mandatory before an employer issues remuneration subject to source deductions — including salaries, wages, bonuses, and taxable benefits paid to employees or certain contractor arrangements. The RP program account appended to your Business Number enables remittance of employee and employer Canada Pension Plan contributions, Employment Insurance premiums, and federal income tax withholdings by prescribed due dates. CRA assigns remittance frequency based on average monthly withholding — new employers typically remit monthly, while larger employers may face accelerated due dates twice or four times monthly. Quebec employers must also register with Revenu Québec for provincial income tax, QPP, and QPIP remittances separately from federal CRA obligations. Provincial workers' compensation boards — WSIB in Ontario, WorkSafeBC in British Columbia — require separate employer registration before hiring. We coordinate CRA payroll setup with provincial registrations and T4 year-end filing to ensure compliant first pay run.

Sole Proprietorship & Partnership Registration
Register a sole proprietorship or general partnership for entrepreneurs who do not require incorporation but need a formal business identity for banking, licensing, and CRA registration. Sole proprietorships operate under the owner's legal name or a registered business name, while partnerships require a partnership agreement and Business Number registration. We manage provincial business name registration, partnership deed drafting, and CRA Business Number setup through the RC1 form.

Sole proprietorships and general partnerships are unincorporated business structures governed primarily by provincial partnership legislation and CRA tax rules rather than corporate statutes like the CBCA or OBCA. A sole proprietor operates the business personally, reporting income on their T1 individual tax return with business activity on Form T2125, and remains personally liable for all business debts. General partnerships involve two or more partners sharing profits and losses according to a partnership agreement, with each partner jointly liable for partnership obligations. Both structures require CRA Business Number registration for GST/HST and payroll accounts when thresholds apply, and provincial business name registration when operating under a name other than the owner's legal name. Unlike corporations, these structures offer no liability shield — personal assets remain exposed to business creditors. We advise on structure selection and coordinate registration with municipal licensing and provincial permit requirements.

Extra-Provincial Registration
Register your federally incorporated CBCA corporation or out-of-province entity in each province and territory where it carries on business, maintains a registered office, or employs staff. Extra-provincial registration is mandatory under provincial corporate legislation and separate from federal incorporation or home-province registration. We manage extra-provincial licence applications, registered agent appointment, and ongoing annual filings across all Canadian jurisdictions.

Extra-provincial registration enables corporations incorporated in one jurisdiction — federally under the CBCA or provincially under the OBCA, BCBCA, ABCA, or equivalent — to lawfully carry on business in other provinces and territories. Federal CBCA corporations must extra-provincially register in their registered office province and every other province where they operate, while provincial corporations register in foreign provinces when expanding beyond their home jurisdiction. Each province requires an extra-provincial licence application supported by a certificate of status, registered agent appointment, and payment of provincial fees. Annual maintenance includes extra-provincial annual returns and licence renewals separate from the incorporating jurisdiction's filings and Corporations Canada annual returns for federal entities. Failure to register may result in inability to enforce contracts, provincial penalties, and complications during regulatory audits. We manage multi-jurisdiction registration when your operations expand across Canada.

Articles of Incorporation & Bylaws Drafting
Draft articles of incorporation and corporate bylaws tailored to your CBCA or provincial Business Corporations Act requirements, shareholder structure, and governance preferences. Articles establish the corporation's share classes, director limits, and restrictions, while bylaws govern day-to-day operations including meetings, voting, and officer appointments. We prepare custom or modified standard-form documents aligned with Corporations Canada and provincial registry filing requirements.

Articles of incorporation are the constitutional document filed with Corporations Canada or a provincial registry that establishes the corporation's name, share structure, director provisions, and any restrictions on share transfers or business activities. Bylaws — adopted by directors or shareholders after incorporation — govern internal operations including annual meeting procedures, director and officer appointment, quorum requirements, and corporate record maintenance under the CBCA or applicable provincial Business Corporations Act. Standard-form articles suffice for simple single-class share structures, but businesses with multiple share classes, investor protections, or specific transfer restrictions require custom drafting. Amendments to articles require shareholder special resolution and filing with the corporate registry, while bylaw amendments typically require director or shareholder approval depending on the provision. We coordinate articles and bylaws drafting with NUANS name search and incorporation filing to deliver a complete governance package from incorporation day.

Corporate annual maintenance under the CBCA and provincial Business Corporations Acts requires filing annual returns confirming current director particulars, registered office address, and corporate status. Federally incorporated corporations file with Corporations Canada within sixty days of their anniversary date, while provincial corporations follow jurisdiction-specific deadlines under the OBCA, BCBCA, ABCA, and equivalent statutes. Extra-provincial registrations require separate annual returns or licence renewals in each province where the corporation is registered. Beyond annual returns, corporations must maintain a minute book containing bylaws, share register, director and officer consents, and resolutions documenting significant corporate decisions. Failure to file annual returns results in corporate dissolution — Corporations Canada and provincial registries strike delinquent corporations from the register after prescribed notice periods. We manage annual compliance alongside CRA corporate tax returns and GST/HST filings to maintain uninterrupted good standing.

Not-for-Profit Corporation Formation
Incorporate a not-for-profit corporation under the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act (NFP Act) or applicable provincial NFP legislation for charities, associations, clubs, and social enterprises operating without share capital or profit distribution to members. NFP incorporation through Corporations Canada provides a corporate structure with limited liability for directors and members. We manage NUANS name search, articles of incorporation drafting, and NFP Act filing through the Online Filing Centre.

Not-for-profit corporation formation under the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act creates a corporate entity without share capital, where members do not receive profits or assets on dissolution — surplus must be distributed to another NFP or charitable organisation. The NFP Act governs federal not-for-profit incorporation through Corporations Canada, while provincial NFP statutes apply to entities incorporating at the provincial level in Ontario, British Columbia, and other jurisdictions. NFP corporations require at least one director, a registered office in Canada, and articles specifying corporate purposes and membership structure. Incorporation under the NFP Act does not automatically confer charitable tax-exempt status — registered charity designation requires a separate application to CRA Charities Directorate with detailed purposes, activities, and governance documentation. Annual returns filed with Corporations Canada maintain NFP good standing, and societies transitioning from older Canada Corporations Act continuance may require specific migration filings. We coordinate NFP incorporation with CRA charity registration where tax-exempt status is the objective.
