Penalty for Failure to Follow Filing Procedures
Corporation income tax return
For taxation years beginning on or after January 1, 2024, corporations must file their income tax returns online, regardless of their gross revenue. For taxation years beginning before January 1, 2024, corporations are required to file their income tax returns online if their gross revenue exceeds $1 million.
Penalties may apply to corporations who fail to meet this obligation.
Note that this requirement does not apply to the following corporations:
- insurance corporations;
- non-resident corporations;
- corporations that file their income tax returns in a functional currency;
- corporations that are tax-exempt under Book VIII of Part I of the Taxation Act.
