(ii) Taxes, filing and distributions: HST application, CCPC eligibility, tax efficient owner’s compensation, review and filing of company’s results. (iii) Other matters: conducting other businesses, short term rentals business permitted practices and operational efficiencies. While the above requirement may be done by desktop research, the preferred freelancer is the one with local relevant credentials (chartered accountant) and who demonstrates relevant Toronto/Ontario experience in this specific type of business (short term residential rentals) along with a track record of work done for similar businesses in Toronto.
