Service Overview

Detailed Scope & Legal Framework

Filing a corporate tax return with the CRA does not satisfy provincial corporate registry obligations. Under the modernized Ontario Business Registry (OBR), every Ontario corporation must file an Annual Information Return within six months of its fiscal year end. Failure to file can lead to forfeiture of corporate status, freezing of business bank accounts, and administrative dissolution by the province. C1 Business Logistics manages this filing seamlessly.

This is an Ontario corporate-information filing service. It is not a T2 corporate income-tax return and does not include tax preparation, annual minutes, legal advice, or legal opinions.
Government requirements and fees may change. C1 confirms the applicable filing route, third-party charges, and any late penalties before work begins.

Ontario Statutory Requirement (OBR & OBCA)

Ontario decoupled annual return filings from the CRA T2 return. Corporations must submit their annual return directly through the Ontario Business Registry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Ontario Annual Return the same as filing a T2 corporate tax return?

No. A T2 tax return is filed with the federal Canada Revenue Agency to calculate corporate income taxes. The Annual Return is a corporate governance filing submitted to the Ontario Business Registry to verify corporate addresses, directors, and active legal existence.

What happens if an Ontario corporation fails to file its annual return?

The Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery will issue a notice of default and, if uncorrected, initiate administrative dissolution. Dissolved corporations lose limited liability protection, and their bank accounts are frozen.

Ideal For:

All active Ontario corporations (OBCA) and Federal corporations (CBCA) operating in Ontario
Corporations that received an 'Intent to Dissolve' or compliance notice from the Ministry
Companies updating registered office addresses or corporate officer appointments
