Bookkeeping in Monreale
How taxes and accounting work in Monreale: when you need an accountant, how much ongoing support costs and how to optimise taxes legally.
When you need an accountant (CPA) in Montreal
Quebec has the highest taxes in Canada and two tax authorities: the federal one (CRA) and the provincial one (Revenu Québec). A CPA is needed for: business registration, two separate returns, sales tax, and the T1135.
Price reference: small business bookkeeping — $150–450 CAD/mo. Initial consultation with SVOY accountants — free.
What matters specifically for Russian speakers from the CIS
- Two returns. In Quebec you file separately with Revenu Québec and with CRA — it is easy to make mistakes without an accountant.
- T1135. Foreign assets (including those in Russia) exceeding $100,000 CAD — file form T1135 (the Canadian equivalent of FBAR).
- Income from clients in Russia — via sole proprietorship/corporation; banks are strict about funds from Russia; USDT and international transfers.
- CIS documents. Apostille and sworn translation — remotely.
Taxes and business structures
- sole proprietorship vs corporation (~9–15% on profits);
- federal + Quebec provincial (high rates);
- sales tax — GST 5% + QST 9.975%.
How to choose an accountant
- hire a CPA with experience in Québec returns, dual filings, and T1135;
- Sole trader vs. corporation — decide before you start;
- a Russian-speaking specialist saves on French-language reporting.
