- HST returns, $150 per return. Registration, filing, input tax credit review and catch-up on missed returns.

About our fees: New Brunswick clients pay 15% HST on our fees and nothing else, because accounting services carry no separate provincial sales tax there. If you’re registered, you can usually claim it back as an input tax credit. Current rates: CRA GST/HST rates page.
Incorporation: we only offer incorporation to Ontario businesses. If you’re setting up a New Brunswick corporation, we can take over as soon as it’s registered.
Why New Brunswick owners work with T-Ledgers
Some files are tidy. Others have a T2 that went in three years ago and CRA letters in the inbox. Our team takes on both, with a CPA reviewing every file, and you get the price in writing first.

New Brunswick tax rules that come up most
Where a figure changes often, we link the government page. If the government page and this summary ever disagree, the government page wins. Official sources checked October 2026.
- Sales tax: 15% HST. New Brunswick charges 15% HST: 5% federal plus 10% provincial. HST is one tax filed with the CRA on one return, so there’s no separate provincial sales tax registration. Current rates: CRA GST/HST rates page.
- Corporate tax. A Canadian-controlled private corporation pays 2.5% provincial tax on the first $500,000 of active business income, for a combined rate of 11.5% with the federal 9%. Income above the limit is taxed at the 14% provincial general rate plus the federal 15%. Passive investment income over $50,000 a year grinds down the small business limit. Sources: CRA provincial and territorial corporation tax and our corporate tax rates guide.
- Personal tax brackets. New Brunswick has four brackets, from 9.4% to 19.5% on the top bracket (see CRA’s current provincial and territorial tax rates for the thresholds). Brackets are indexed every year. Source: CRA income tax rates for individuals.
- Corporate Registry. New Brunswick corporations file an annual return with Service New Brunswick’s Corporate Registry. Details: Corporate Registry (SNB).
- Bilingual records. We work in English. If your customers or staff need French documents, tell us on the call and we’ll work out what we can support.
- Workers’ compensation. Employers with three or more workers at any time during the year generally must register with WorkSafeNB. Details: WorkSafeNB.
- More from the province: New Brunswick Department of Finance.
Law: Excise Tax Act s.165(1) (GST imposed); Excise Tax Act s.165(2) (HST in participating provinces); Income Tax Act s.125(1) (small business deduction); Employment Standards Act, SNB 1982, c.E-7.2.
New Brunswick cities we serve

Behind on your books? Catch-up is our speciality
If you are a few years behind, you are not unusual, and it is fixable. We start with your bank and credit card statements, rebuild the oldest year first, then file what is outstanding in the right order: HST returns, T2s and personal returns. If the CRA has sent letters or estimated assessments, we deal with them as part of the job. Penalties and interest keep growing until you file, so waiting rarely helps.
Catch-up work starts from $1,800 per year + HST/GST. See catch-up bookkeeping, back tax filing and a real file in our catch-up case study.
Behind with the CRA? Voluntary disclosure
If you have unfiled returns or income you never reported, the CRA’s Voluntary Disclosures Program (VDP) lets you correct it before the CRA contacts you, with relief on penalties and part of the interest. Many New Brunswick owners come to us only after a CRA letter arrives; coming forward first usually gets a better result.
- The law behind it: the CRA can waive or cancel penalties and interest for up to 10 calendar years back under Income Tax Act s.220(3.1) (income tax) and Excise Tax Act s.281.1(1) (GST/HST). The VDP is how the CRA applies that power to people who come forward.
- Unprompted applications (no CRA contact about the issue yet) normally get 100% penalty relief and 75% interest relief. Prompted applications (after a CRA letter that names a specific error or sets a deadline) normally get up to 100% penalty relief and 25% interest relief. These rules apply to applications received on or after October 1, 2025 (CRA Information Circular IC00-1R7).
- Who qualifies: you must apply before an audit or investigation starts, include all the corrected returns and documents, be at least one year or one reporting period past the due date, and pay the estimated tax or ask for a payment arrangement (CRA’s VDP eligibility page).
We rebuild the missing years, prepare the corrected T1, T2 and GST/HST returns, and file them with Form RC199 so the CRA reviews everything together. Pricing depends on how many years are involved and is part of our catch-up bookkeeping quote, which starts from $1,800 per year + HST/GST. The CRA decides each application case by case, so relief is never guaranteed.
Law: Income Tax Act s.150(1) (filing deadlines); Income Tax Act s.162(1) (late-filing penalty); Income Tax Act s.161(1) (interest on unpaid tax); Income Tax Act s.152(7) (assessment not dependent on return); Excise Tax Act s.238(1) (GST/HST returns).
