Tell us who owns the company, where it will operate and how it will earn revenue. We come back with the incorporation route, the CRA accounts you will need and a clear setup scope.
Bestax Company Registration Support
Bestax helps entrepreneurs create an incorporated business structure that matches their ownership and operating plans. We review where you will operate, who owns the company, and how the business will earn revenue.
We then prepare the company registration around those details. Our goal is to keep your corporate records, CRA accounts and tax setup consistent from the beginning.
Our company registration support includes
- Federal or provincial incorporation guidance
- Business name and numbered company options
- Articles of incorporation preparation
- Registered office and director information
- Share structure setup support
- Business Number review and CRA account setup
- GST/HST account registration
- Payroll account setup when required
- Corporate record and accounting setup support
Federal and Provincial Company Registration Support
Bestax helps you choose between federal and provincial incorporation before filing documents. We base that decision on your operating locations, business name plans and future expansion.
Federal corporations
Federal corporations are created through Corporations Canada. For federal incorporation, we help prepare the corporate name, articles, registered office details and first director information.
Provincial corporations
Provincial corporations are created under the applicable provincial or territorial system, which is why your operating locations decide the route before anything is filed.
The records that follow
We also explain the post-incorporation records your company needs, so the corporate file is understood before the certificate arrives rather than after it.
Government filing fees
Government filing fees differ by jurisdiction and filing method. Bestax confirms the applicable setup route before preparing your registration.
You can also review Corporations Canada's current incorporation process (opens in a new tab).

Company Registration Process With Bestax
We keep company registration clear by handling each stage in order. This avoids opening CRA accounts before the corporate details are ready.
We review your business and ownership
We discuss your owners, business activities, operating provinces and planned company name. We also identify the registrations connected with your business model.
We prepare the incorporation details
Bestax helps organise your articles, share structure, registered office information and director details. We check the information before filing.
We complete the federal or provincial filing
We prepare the company registration for the selected jurisdiction. After approval, you receive the corporate registration documents for your records.
We review your CRA Business Number
A corporation can already have a Business Number after certain government registrations. Bestax checks existing records before opening additional CRA program accounts.
We set up required CRA program accounts
We help organise GST/HST, payroll and corporation tax account requirements. The exact accounts depend on your activities and staffing plans.
We prepare your accounting setup
Bestax can continue with bookkeeping, payroll, GST/HST filing and corporate tax support after registration.
Start Your Company Registration in Canada With Bestax
Bestax can take your business from incorporation through CRA and HST setup. We keep your corporate and tax records connected from day one.
HST Registration Support After Company Setup
Bestax provides HST registration support as part of a complete Canadian business setup. We first check whether registration is required or voluntary for your business.
For most businesses, the CRA small supplier threshold is $30,000 in taxable supplies, and the calculation uses the current and previous four consecutive calendar quarters. A business exceeding $30,000 in one calendar quarter loses small supplier status on the triggering sale, and registration is then required within the CRA timeline. Businesses below the threshold can choose voluntary registration when they make taxable supplies in Canada, and Bestax explains the filing and collection responsibilities before registration.
We help you register for HST using the correct business information and effective date, and we confirm the GST/HST account details needed for future returns. You can review the CRA rules for when GST/HST registration is required (opens in a new tab).
$30,000
Small supplier threshold
In taxable supplies, for most businesses. Exceeding it in one calendar quarter ends small supplier status on the triggering sale.
4 quarters
The measuring window
The calculation uses the current and previous four consecutive calendar quarters.

BRO moved behind a CRA account
Business Registration Online is available only through a CRA account, and the user must sign in before accessing it.
HST Registration Online and Business Number Review
Bestax helps clients prepare for HST registration online through the CRA system. We organise the required business, owner, address, activity and revenue information before registration begins, and we confirm the Business Number and program account details before submission. This reduces duplicate accounts and incorrect effective dates.
A GST/HST program account is connected with your nine-digit Business Number. If you do not already have one, CRA registration can create it alongside the GST/HST account, and Bestax checks this before starting. If you want to register for an HST number, we first confirm your business identity and effective date, then organise the information the CRA registration needs — which is also what prevents different business details appearing across corporate and CRA records.
BRO cannot handle every business structure
A Canadian business with only non-resident owners cannot use Business Registration Online for this registration. Bestax identifies the correct alternative registration route when BRO is unavailable for your structure.
Bestax HST account setup and filing support
- GST/HST account setup support
- Effective date review
- Reporting period review
- Tax collection setup guidance
- Bookkeeping account configuration
- GST/HST return filing support
- Input tax credit recordkeeping support
- CRA correspondence assistance
GST/HST registrants have tax collection, return filing and remittance responsibilities after registration. If you need to register for HST, Bestax can also support ongoing filing and accounting.
CRA Account Setup and Post-Incorporation Support
Company registration and CRA registration should work together, so Bestax checks your corporate records before setting up additional tax accounts — and can carry the same file into the accounting and compliance work that follows.
CRA account setup with your company registration
- Business Number details
- Corporation income tax account information
- GST/HST program account setup
- Payroll deductions account setup
- Business activity descriptions
- Mailing and physical addresses
- Owner and director information
CRA changed BRO access on 14 July 2026, and business owners now reach it through their CRA account. Bestax prepares the information before you enter the registration system, and also supports alternative CRA registration processes when online access does not fit.
Corporate records and post-incorporation support
- Accounting system setup
- Monthly or quarterly bookkeeping
- Payroll setup and processing
- GST/HST return filing
- Corporate tax preparation
- Financial reporting
- CRA account updates
- Business advisory support
Federal corporations have ongoing annual filing requirements, and they also have filing obligations for individuals with significant control. This gives you one team for registration and ongoing accounting work.

What Clients Say About Bestax
The firm's published reviews, from clients across its business setup, accounting and tax work.
Had my first corporate tax filing done through Bestax. They offered a tax planning session that was extremely helpful, especially because I was unsure what expenses could be deducted legally. They kinda guided me through the whole process because, as a healthcare professional, I had no clue how things work around here.
I'm very pleased with the support provided by Athira and her team in completing my Transfer Pricing report and filing the Corporate Tax returns for my company. They are highly responsive, and the quality of their work and reports is truly excellent.
Very smooth and efficient service to open a freezone company. Even while sitting in canada. They are great. Highly highly recommend.
Bestax have been managing my accounts for the past 1 year now and I must say they do an amazing job. My tax returns are always on time and I never faced any penalty.
Maham guided me through the business license renewal process. She even flagged upcoming compliance changes I had no clue about. It’s that extra attention to detail that makes Bestax stand out.
Anusha at Bestax keeps our financials in top shape. Her budgeting advice has improved our cash flow significantly. Highly reliable team!
