Why hire a full charge bookkeeper and what can they do for your business?By Gunter Wallner

Why hire a full charge bookkeeper and what can they do for your business?

A full-charge bookkeeper is responsible for seeing that all of your business transactions are properly recorded in various ledgers, sub-ledgers, journals, etc. One of the most important aspects of any bookkeeper’s job is to properly maintain of the company’s general ledger. Your company’s financial statements (balance sheet, profit and loss statement, etc.) will be prepared from this ledger. The general ledger is of great interest to the CRA in case of an audit and others who will require information on your company from time to time.

Penalties and criminal offences under the Income Tax ActBy Gunter Wallner

Failure to file return -- The Act provides penalties for failure to file a return as and when required. The penalty is 5% of the unpaid tax at the date on which the return was due to be filed. In addition, a further penalty of 1% of the unpaid tax is levied for each complete month that the return was late, for up to 12 months.

A higher penalty is imposed for a taxpayer who has already been assessed a penalty for failure to file a return in any of the three preceding years. This penalty equals 10% of unpaid tax plus 2% per month, for up to 20 months.

News
Gunter Wallner, a Registered Public Accountant with CLS Accounting & Bookkeeping in Williams Lake gives some helpful 'tax time' advice for Cariboo small business owners.

By Gunter Wallner

Since most small business owners have to use a calendar year, it only makes sense to get your year end in order and have a look at your net income as soon as the year is done.

The net income from your business will be added to any other income (employment, investment, etc.) on your tax return.

For many business owners CPP on self employment represents a big amount since you do not submit your CPP along with your regular payroll remittance unless you are corporate.
