Renovation sits on a GST/HST fault line that ordinary repairs do not. Work on an existing home is taxable like any service, but a substantial renovation, where essentially all of the interior is removed or replaced, is treated like new housing, which changes both the tax and the owner's rebate eligibility. Roofing and renovation firms using subcontract crews must also file the T5018, and should track holdbacks separately so revenue is not recognized before it is receivable.
Accounting for Roofers & Renovation firms is a specialist job because the CRA treats this part of the construction sector differently. These are the rules that actually change the number at the bottom of the return.
A contractor treating crew as subcontractors without written agreements, their own tools and genuine business risk is the classic worker-classification reassessment in this sector.
T5018 subcontractor slips are matched by the CRA against what those subcontractors report, which makes accurate payment records a defence rather than paperwork.
Travel between the shop and a job site is business travel; travel from home to a regular site is generally personal, and the logbook is what separates the two.
Heavy equipment generally falls in Class 38 or Class 10, while small tools under the prescribed threshold can be expensed outright in the year purchased.
T5018 information returns are due six months after the reporting period the contractor elects, and the election between calendar and fiscal basis should be made deliberately.
Progress billings follow the percentage-of-completion method for accounting, and the tax treatment tracks it, so month-end job costing feeds directly into the return.
Bonding capacity depends on the financial statements a lender or surety sees, which is why the year-end presentation matters as much as the tax number.
Incorporating the equipment side separately from the contracting side limits liability and can move depreciation to where the income is, but the associated-corporation rules share one small business limit.
Our team works these rules year-round for Roofers & Renovation firms, so the planning happens before year-end rather than being explained afterwards.

Direct answers to what Canadian business owners actually ask before hiring an accountant.
Yes. We work in QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, Sage, spreadsheets, and plain scanned documents. You are not required to migrate systems to become a client, and we never charge a conversion fee.
Multi-province operations allocate taxable income by permanent establishment and payroll, and sales tax rules differ by jurisdiction. We handle the allocation schedules and the differing GST, HST, PST and QST obligations in one engagement.
Registration becomes mandatory once taxable supplies pass $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters, and the obligation starts almost immediately rather than at the next year-end. Registering voluntarily below that threshold is often worthwhile when you are buying equipment, because it makes the tax on those purchases recoverable.
Six years from the end of the tax year the records relate to. That covers invoices, receipts, bank statements, payroll records and the working papers behind the return. Records supporting the purchase of a capital asset must be kept six years past the year the asset is finally sold.
The late-filing penalty is 5% of the balance owing plus 1% for each full month the return is late, to a maximum of twelve months. A second late filing within three years doubles those figures. Interest compounds daily from the balance-due date regardless of when the return is filed.
Yes, in proportion to business use, and the logbook is what supports it. The CRA accepts a full-year log, or a three-month sample backed by a complete prior-year log. Travel between home and a regular place of work is personal; travel between work locations is business.
Incorporation usually pays once profit consistently exceeds what the owner draws personally, because the retained amount is taxed at small business rates rather than personal rates. Where the entire profit is withdrawn each year, incorporation often costs more in filing and compliance than it saves.
Ratios that sit outside sector norms, repeated losses, large or round-numbered expense claims, and mismatches between filed slips and reported income. Most reviews are resolved on documentation alone, which is why contemporaneous records matter more than the size of any single claim.
