If you incorporated your business through Ownr, you may be eligible for exclusive discounts on corporate tax filing and bookkeeping services through CloudTax.
Whether you want to file your own corporate tax return (T2), have a tax professional prepare it for you, or get help organizing your business finances, CloudTax offers flexible options based on your needs and budget.
This guide explains the available services, pricing, Ownr discounts, and how to choose the right option for your corporation.
What Is the Difference Between Ownr and CloudTax?
Ownr and CloudTax provide different but complementary services to Canadian business owners.
Ownr helps entrepreneurs register and incorporate their businesses, manage corporate legal documents, maintain digital minute books, and complete eligible corporate registry filings.
CloudTax helps incorporated businesses meet their tax filing obligations through CRA-certified corporate tax software, professional T2 tax preparation, and bookkeeping services.
Important: Filing your annual corporate registry return through Ownr is different from filing your T2 corporate income tax return with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Your corporation may need to complete both.
