How to Simplify Tax Compliance as a New Business Owner

Starting a business is exciting navigating taxes shouldn’t be what slows you down.
For new entrepreneurs, understanding tax compliance can feel like learning a new language. From corporate taxes to HST filings, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. But here’s the good news: with the right tools and a simple approach, staying compliant can be as seamless as any other automated part of your business.

At Remitian, we’re on a mission to eliminate tax stress for entrepreneurs. Here’s how to simplify your tax journey from day one.


1. Understand Your Tax Obligations

Before diving into tools or automation, get familiar with what you owe and when:

  • Corporate Taxes (T2): Required if you’ve incorporated. Includes instalments, arrears, and final filings.

  • Payroll Remittances (PD7A): If you have employees, these are non-negotiable.

  • HST/GST: Depending on your revenues and business type, you may need to register and file quarterly or annually.

  • Personal Tax on Business Income (T1): For sole proprietors or partnerships.

Pro Tip: CRA penalties can stack fast. Know your deadlines, or automate them.


2. Automate Early, Stress Less

Manual tax tracking = missed deadlines and human error.
Digital tax platforms like Remitian TaxPay handle:

  • Auto-scheduled payments for corporate, payroll, HST, and personal taxes
  • Express or regular direct debit options
  • Real-time alerts for failed payments or upcoming approvals
  • Full audit trails to track status, changes, and confirmations

You stay focused on growing the business, our system ensures every tax is paid, on time, without error.


3. Make Approval Flows Easy (Even with a CPA)

Working with an accountant? Remitian simplifies that too.

We support firm-client workflows where your accountant can schedule payments, and you retain final control via approvals. That means:

  • No surprise withdrawals

  • No chasing down files or signatures

  • One dashboard to track everything

It’s tax collaboration, streamlined.


4. Avoid Audit Risks with Digital Trails

Audits are scary. But compliance doesn’t have to be.
With Remitian, every payment has a digital trail, showing who approved what, when, and how it was processed. This audit-ready system helps:

  • Reduce your risk

  • Prove compliance instantly

  • Build trust with investors and stakeholders


5. Use Technology to Grow Confidently

Remitian isn’t just about paying tax, it’s about fueling your growth.

As your business scales, we scale with you:

  • Monthly or quarterly recurring payments

  • Support for multiple tax types

  • Optional capital access for tax season liquidity or expansion

You don’t need to become a tax expert. You just need a system that works.


You started your business to innovate, not stress about tax.

Remitian’s digital-first approach to tax remittance is built for entrepreneurs like you, people who want simplicity, accuracy, and peace of mind.
