Self-Employed Tax Returns Services for Toronto & GTA Business Owners
Self-employed status means the CRA deals with your taxes completely differently from those of a salary earner – no deductions automatically withheld, a separate income statement for the business, and considerations surrounding installments that are not known about until an installment is missed. The professionals at Beta Taxes Professional Corporation handle Self-Employed Tax Returns right: properly, with all deductible items claimed, and with no confusion for you on your own.
- T1 filings with complete T2125 business reporting
- Installment payment calculations

Affordable T2125 Self-Employment Tax Return Filing Services in Ontario
The T2125 Self-Employment Tax Return documents your business earnings and deductions as a component of your T1 personal tax return, yet completing it properly goes well beyond recording your earnings and deducting basic expenditures. Home office costs, automobile expenses, subscription services, and even professional services often get missed due to a lack of consistent record-keeping.
Beta Taxes offers a fixed fee for self-employed tax preparation for independent contractors, consultants, and freelance workers anywhere in Toronto and the greater GTA, assessing your entire financial situation before submitting any forms.

Why Independent Contractor Tax Services Differ From Employee Filing
Tax services for independent contractors have come into existence because being self-employed actually makes you different in terms of taxation and not just in terms of where your money comes from. Your employer does not withhold any tax from your salary each month, so you will have to figure out how much tax you owe during the year. In many cases, tax payments must be made every quarter, even before the end of the year.
Furthermore, self-employed people have to pay both the employee and employer shares of the CPP based on their net business income, which is often surprising for new contractors when they realise how much they owe. This knowledge is what keeps one from having any surprise amounts in the spring.

Expert Guidance for Canadian Home Sale Tax Matters
Alex has been so amazing! I sold my home shortly after moving to the UK on a temporary visa and it was so stressful navigating the Canadian tax system. Even from afar – across the world, Alex took his time walking me through what I need to do, advised me on next steps, and how he can help me through calls on Whatsapp and email. I received the letter I needed from him to proceed with the closing of my Canadian home sale. Thank you so much to Alex and the team for your guidance and help! I appreciate it so very much 😊.

FAQ’s
Frequently Asked Questions
How is being self-employed taxed differently from being an employee?
When you're an employee, the employer will withhold and remit tax on your behalf. In contrast, as a self-employed person, you'll need to keep track of your income and expenses, report them using the form T2125, and possibly make quarterly payments.
When do I have to pay tax instalments as a self-employed person?
Typically, if the total of your net tax owing exceeds the threshold in the current and at least one of the last two taxation years, installments are required. Based on your situation, we will inform you if you fall into that category.
When do I need to register for GST/HST as a self-employed person?
You become obligated to be registered for GST/HST once your income exceeds $30,000 in four consecutive quarters. We monitor the threshold for you and complete the application on time.
What expenses can I deduct as an independent contractor?
Expenses typically include those related to home office, a share of vehicle expenses, software subscription, professional membership, and many more. We analyse your unique situation to determine eligible deductions.
Do I need to pay both portions of CPP as a self-employed person?
Yes – a self-employed person has to pay both the employer and employee portion of CPP on net income from your business via personal tax return, something many first-time contractors weren't aware of.
What if I haven’t kept track of the instalments and now have a sizable balance?
We analyse your case, calculate how much money you owe and advise you on the best way to move forward, including payment arrangements with the CRA, so that instalments will no longer be a problem for you in the future.
Would you assist me with tax returns of self-employed persons having several income sources?
Yes, it’s very common that self-employed people work for more than one client. We compile information from all the sources in the process of your T2125.
What documentation do I need to prepare to file my self-employed tax return?
Your income sources documentation (invoices, payment records), receipts for expenses, tax returns from previous years, if there are any, and GST/HST returns if already filed. We’ll clarify specific details when analysing your situation.
Would you assist me with my tax return if this is my first time filing taxes as self-employed?
Yes, we often help people with their first self-employed tax return and show exactly what applies to them.
Could you help me determine whether incorporation or self-employment would be better for me?
Yes, we go over the tax consequences of each option depending on your income and goals, allowing you to make a decision that depends on your actual numbers, not just a rule of thumb.
