What Our Government Payment and Filing Services in Windsor Include

We help manage a range of government remittances and filings for Ontario businesses. Your specific filing requirements and deadlines depend on factors such as your business structure, reporting periods, payroll, and tax accounts.

​

Payroll Remittances

Payroll deductions must be remitted to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) according to your assigned remitter type. We help manage:

​

• CPP, EI, and income tax source deductions

• Payroll remittance calculations and submissions

• T4 and T4 Summary preparation

• Payroll account reconciliations

• Year-end payroll reporting

Payroll remittance frequency can vary. For example, regular remitters generally remit by the 15th of the following month, while eligible quarterly and accelerated remitters have different deadlines.

​

T4 information returns are generally due by the last day of February following the calendar year.

​

HST/GST Filing and Payment

GST/HST compliance is an important part of managing many Ontario businesses. We can assist with:

​

• HST return preparation and filing

• Input tax credit calculations

• HST payment preparation

• Monthly, quarterly, or annual filing schedules

• Reconciliation of HST collected and paid

For monthly and quarterly filers, GST/HST returns and payments are generally due one month after the end of the reporting period. Annual filing and payment deadlines vary depending on the type of business and fiscal year-end.

​

Most GST/HST registrants are also required to file their returns electronically, subject to limited exceptions.

​

Corporate and Personal Income Tax Filings

Keeping your bookkeeping records organized throughout the year can make tax filing significantly easier. Depending on your business and our scope of services, we can assist with:

​

• Organizing financial records and supporting documents

• Preparing information required for tax filing

• Identifying applicable deductions and credits

• Corporate tax filing support

• Personal income tax filing support for business owners

• Tracking tax payment and instalment obligations

Canadian corporations generally must file a T2 Corporation Income Tax Return within six months of the end of each tax year, even if no tax is owing. Corporate tax balances are generally due two months after the tax year-end, although qualifying Canadian-controlled private corporations may have three months to pay their balance.

​

WSIB Reporting and Remittances

WSIB requirements depend on your business, industry, and coverage status. For businesses that are required to report payroll and pay WSIB premiums, we can assist with:

​

• Payroll and insurable earnings reporting

• Premium calculations

• Scheduled WSIB reporting and payments

• Reconciliation of WSIB accounts

• Maintaining accurate payroll records

WSIB reporting and payment frequency depends on annual payroll. As of 2026, businesses with annual payroll of $1 million or more generally report monthly, those with payroll from $20,000 to $999,999.99 report quarterly, and those with payroll below $20,000 report annually. Construction businesses can have additional coverage and reporting requirements.

​

Other Government Filings

Beyond payroll, HST, and income tax, we can also help businesses stay organized with other government-related requirements, including:

​

• Ontario corporate annual return information

• Business registration updates

• Government account reconciliations

• Statements of account

• Supporting documentation for government filings

Ontario corporations generally file their annual return through the Ontario Business Registry within six months of their fiscal year-end.

Common Questions About Government Filings

What happens if I miss a filing deadline?

​

Missing a government filing or payment deadline can result in penalties and interest, depending on the type of filing and circumstances. CRA payroll remittances, for example, can be subject to penalties and interest when payments are late.

​

Our filing calendar approach helps track applicable deadlines in advance so required filings and payments can be prepared on time.

​

Can you handle filings if my bookkeeping is behind?

Yes. We can begin by reviewing your current records and identifying outstanding bookkeeping and filing requirements. Where appropriate, we can help bring your records up to date before moving into ongoing filing and remittance management.

​

Do you offer support for businesses outside Windsor?

Yes. While our in-person services are based in Windsor-Essex County, virtual bookkeeping and filing support can serve businesses across Ontario.

​

Is payroll remittance included in your filing services?

Yes. Where included in your service package, we can help manage payroll source deductions, including CPP, EI, and income tax deductions, as well as applicable payroll remittances and year-end T4 reporting. Payroll remittance deadlines vary based on your CRA remitter type.

​

How often do I need to file HST?

Your GST/HST reporting frequency is assigned based on CRA rules and can be monthly, quarterly, or annually. Filing and payment deadlines depend on your reporting period and business circumstances.

​

How often do I need to report WSIB payroll?

WSIB reporting frequency depends on your annual payroll. As of 2026, businesses generally report monthly if annual payroll is $1 million or more, quarterly if annual payroll is $20,000 to $999,999.99, and annually if annual payroll is less than $20,000.
