Missed the
June 30 deadline?
File it anyway.
The T2 deadline for December 31 year-ends has passed — and that's common. Late T2 nil filings are a regular part of what we do. Filing late is far better than not filing at all: it stops demand-to-file penalties from stacking and keeps your corporation in good standing.

§ 01 Why Filing Late Still Matters
Point 01
Stops penalties stacking
Filing now — before the CRA issues a demand letter — avoids the flat $1,000 demand-to-file penalty per missed year.
Point 02
Protects good standing
Multiple missed returns can lead to loss of good standing and involuntary dissolution. Late filing resets the clock.
Point 03
No tax owed, no percentage fee
For a true nil return the percentage late-filing penalty is $0 because no tax is owing. The cost is just the preparer fee.
§ 02 What Late Filing Can Cost
- $1,000 CRA demand-to-file penalty per missed year — once a demand letter is issued
- Repeat late-filer penalty: 10% of unpaid tax + 2%/month for up to 20 months
- Loss of good standing with your incorporating registry
- Potential involuntary dissolution after 1–2 missed years
- Director's record flagged at the CRA
- Harder to open bank accounts, borrow, or sell the corp
None of the demand-to-file or repeat-late-filer penalties apply until the CRA formally demands a return — so filing now, on your own, before any letter arrives, is the cheapest path by far.

§ 04 Common Questions
- I missed the June 30 deadline — can I still file my T2 nil return?
- Yes. Late T2 nil filings are a regular part of what we do. Filing late is far better than not filing at all: it stops demand-to-file penalties from stacking and helps keep your corporation in good standing. Submit your details and we file within 72 hours of receiving your complete documents.
- Is there a rush surcharge for late filings?
- No. Flat $149 CAD + HST, same as an on-time filing. No rush fee, no hidden add-ons, whether you file in September or January.
- What penalty applies to a late nil return?
- For a true nil return the percentage late-filing penalty is $0 because no tax is owing. The real risk is the CRA issuing a demand-to-file letter, which carries a flat $1,000 penalty per missed year — and repeat late filers face larger calculated penalties. Filing now, before any demand letter arrives, avoids that entirely.
- What if I've missed more than one year?
- Each missed year needs its own T2. We handle multi-year catch-up regularly at a discounted per-year rate. After you submit the most recent year, tell us how many additional years you need and we'll quote a rate.
- What do I need to submit?
- Your corporation name, 9-digit Business Number, fiscal year-end, Articles of Incorporation, prior-year T2 (if any), and CRA Web Access Code. The intake form walks you through each one in under 5 minutes.
- How will I know it's filed?
- You receive an email confirmation the moment we transmit to the CRA, and a follow-up with your CRA Notice of Assessment once it arrives (usually 2–4 weeks).
File your late nil return now.
