Most independent contractors overpay taxes by $4,000–$12,000 every year. AppleTree Tax finds every deduction and keeps more money where it belongs — in your pocket.
Generic accountants don't know your trade. We do. Here's what we fix for contractors every single year.
Every drill, saw, and piece of equipment you bought is deductible. Most contractors leave thousands on the table because they didn't keep proper records — or their accountant never asked.
Your truck is your office. Fuel, insurance, maintenance, and depreciation are all claimable. We audit your vehicle use and recover every kilometre that counts against your income.
Miss a quarterly HST remittance or file incorrectly and the CRA charges interest from day one. We file on time, every time — and handle back-filing for missed periods.
If you manage your business from home — even for admin and invoicing — a portion of rent, utilities, and internet is deductible. Most contractors never claim a single dollar.
If you hire subbies, T4A slips must be filed correctly or you risk penalties. We handle all subcontractor reporting so your books are bulletproof and audit-ready.
A CRA review letter shouldn't ruin your week. Our clients have a licensed tax professional in their corner — we respond to the CRA directly and handle every inquiry on your behalf.
Complete coverage for self-employed tradespeople — from T1 filing to HST returns to CRA defence, all under one roof.
T1 filing optimized for self-employed contractors and sole proprietors. We hunt for every deduction before submitting to CRA via NETFILE.
We register you if you're over the $30K threshold, file quarterly or annually, and handle all CRA correspondence related to your account.
No more scrambling at tax time. We organize receipts, invoices, and bank statements into clean, CRA-ready books throughout the year.
If the CRA audits you or sends a review letter, we handle it — not you. We represent you as your authorized tax representative on file.
No pressure, no obligation. A licensed tax advisor reviews your situation and tells you exactly what you're missing and how much you could recover.
Receipts, invoices, bank statements — even a shoebox works. We'll organize everything and guide you on anything else we need.
Your return is prepared by a licensed professional who knows contractor taxes inside and out. We NETFILE directly to the CRA on your behalf.
Most clients see their refund within 8 business days of filing. We remain your year-round tax advisor at no extra cost.
