Tax support built for how small Alberta businesses actually operate.
Self-employed professionals, contractors, and small business owners face a different tax landscape than employed individuals — and a different level of risk if returns aren't handled correctly. PTC Canada works with Alberta's self-employed community to keep filings accurate, deductions defensible, and CRA exposure minimal.
Whether you're a solo contractor, a partnership, or an unincorporated business, we'll handle the complexity so you can focus on running your operation.

Why self-employed tax returns need more care
More Deductions, More Risk
Business deductions are powerful but must be supportable. We know which expenses CRA scrutinizes and how to document them properly.
No Source Deductions
Self-employed people pay their own CPP contributions and income tax. Installment planning helps avoid a large balance at filing.
GST/HST Obligations
Once your income crosses $30,000 in a calendar year, GST/HST registration is mandatory. We help you stay on top of the obligations.
Frequently asked questions
No. We work with unincorporated self-employed individuals and sole proprietors. If you're considering incorporation, we can help you understand the tax implications before you make that decision.
Yes. We're used to working from bank statements, receipts, and incomplete records. We'll help you organize what you have and identify what's missing before we prepare the return.
If you or your spouse are self-employed, the filing deadline is June 15. However, any taxes owing are still due April 30 — so planning ahead is important to avoid interest charges.
