✅ Transcounts Handles Directly
🤝 Handled by Our CPA Partner Network

The advantage: Because our books are clean and current, CPA partners spend less time on data cleanup — and pass those savings on to you. Access to our CPA network is exclusive to Transcounts clients.

The Cost of Getting This Wrong

Tax non-compliance isn’t a paperwork problem — it’s a balance sheet risk.

5%+

CRA Late-Filing Penalty

5% of the balance owing on the due date, plus 1% for each full month the return is late, up to 12 months. Repeat offences double to 10% + 2%/month.

$100K+

U.S. Nexus Back-Tax Liability

Selling into U.S. states past economic nexus thresholds ($100K revenue or 200 transactions) without registration creates retroactive tax liability plus interest and penalties in every qualifying state.

$3K–$18K

GST/HST ITCs Left on the Table

The average Transcounts client recovering missed Input Tax Credits in their first year of service. Most businesses never claim everything they’re entitled to without a dedicated system.

Frequently Asked Questions

I already have a CPA. Why would I use Transcounts for tax?

Your CPA files your T2 corporate return once a year. We handle the ongoing compliance layer they typically don’t — monthly GST/HST remittances, PST filings, U.S. nexus monitoring, Input Tax Credit recovery, and audit trail maintenance. Most CPAs love it when their clients come to year-end with clean books and zero compliance gaps. We also coordinate the T2 data package directly with your CPA to eliminate duplicate effort.

Do you file corporate income tax returns?

Not directly — we’re not a CPA firm. We specialize in indirect tax compliance (GST/HST, PST, U.S. nexus). For T2 corporate returns, we connect Transcounts clients to our vetted CPA partner network at negotiated rates, and we coordinate the handoff so you’re never chasing two firms for the same information.

How do I know if I have U.S. nexus exposure?

Most states trigger an obligation at $100,000 in sales or 200 transactions annually to customers in that state — regardless of whether you have a physical presence there. Amazon FBA sellers are particularly exposed because inventory stored in U.S. warehouses creates physical nexus in those states. Take our free 8-question Cross-Border Clear assessment to get your specific risk picture in under 5 minutes.

What happens if the CRA or IRS contacts me?

Because we maintain a complete, auditable transaction-level record via TaxJar and Avalara from day one, responding to CRA or IRS notices is a documentation exercise, not a scramble. We support you through the notice process and, for formal audits, coordinate with your CPA partner.

What tax software do you use?

Our compliance infrastructure is built on TaxJar and Avalara for automated remittance and nexus monitoring, integrated with QuickBooks Online or Xero (required). For e-commerce clients, A2X is also required to achieve $0 payout-to-bank variance — which is the foundation accurate tax reporting depends on.
