You're great at the trade. But the books, the GST, the CRA letters, that's where good contractors quietly lose money and sleep. Here's what we hear every week.
Money's coming in, but between materials, payroll, and waiting on invoices, you never quite know what's actually yours to keep.
You collected it, you spent it, and now it's due. Without it set aside and filed on time, CRA adds penalties and interest fast.
If construction is more than half your income and you pay subcontractors $500 or more, CRA wants a T5018 contract payment report. Miss it and you're on their radar.
Some jobs feel busy but barely break even. Without tracking cost per job, you're quoting the next one half-blind.
One account for everything, the truck, the groceries, the materials. Come tax time it's a mess, and you miss deductions you earned.
Your vehicle, tools, gear and phone are deductible, but only if they're tracked properly. Most trades leave thousands on the table.
Three places the cash slips away when the books aren't handled, and what it really means for a working trade.
Say you owe $10,000 in GST/HST and file 6 months late. Here's what CRA's penalty formula actually adds:
Formula: penalty = 1% of the amount owing + 0.25% for each full month late, up to 12 months (max 4%), plus daily-compounded interest. And on a bigger balance it scales fast, a $50,000 GST debt filed 6 months late is a $1,250 penalty before interest. We make sure it never gets to this.
Figures use CRA's published GST/HST late-filing penalty formula and the prescribed interest rate for early 2026. Illustrative example only, not a quote or a promise. Your actual amounts depend on your situation.
