Frequently Asked Questions
What is professional tax?
A provincial levy on businesses and practising professionals. Whether it applies, and at what rate, depends on your province, business type and scale.
Does it apply to me?
Not to everyone. That is exactly what the review establishes — we would rather tell you it does not apply than register you for something you do not owe.
Is it federal or provincial?
Provincial. Which province you operate in determines the authority, the rate and the procedure.
Is the tax included in your fee?
No. Our fee is $75 for the registration. The tax itself is paid by you directly to the provincial authority.
Is it annual?
Generally yes — it recurs rather than being a one-off. We explain the ongoing obligation before you register.
I got a notice. Can you help?
Yes. Send it to us and we will explain what it means and what your position is.
Find Out If It Applies to You
Reviewed honestly, registered in the right province, and the annual obligation explained rather than sprung on you.
