Saskatoon is Saskatchewan’s largest city and its fastest-growing business base: mining and potash services, agri-food and ag-tech research around the university, construction, health care and a growing number of software and engineering startups. Many owners here are scaling quickly, adding staff, equipment and a second location, and their books have not kept up. T-Ledgers brings them current, keeps GST and PST on schedule, and gets the corporation ready for a lender, an investor or an SR&ED claim, on flat fees.
I’m Wajahat Ajmal, CPA, FCCA, practising since 2020. We do not have an office in Saskatoon. We work with Saskatoon clients by phone, video, email and a secure client portal.

Accounting services and prices for Saskatoon businesses
Every service is quoted at a flat rate before we start. These are starting prices, + HST/GST. Saskatchewan clients pay 5% GST on our fees, and 6% Saskatchewan PST may also apply to accounting services that relate to Saskatchewan (Bulletin PST-62). If you are GST-registered you can usually claim the GST back as an input tax credit. You get the exact figure in writing after a free call.

Saskatoon rules that show up in your books
In Saskatoon you deal with the City of Saskatoon, the Province of Saskatchewan and the CRA. Here is what comes up most in the books. (Official sources checked October 2026.)
← Swipe to compare →
| Rule | Who it affects | Official source |
|---|---|---|
| City of Saskatoon business licence | Business Licence Bylaw 9746 requires businesses operating in Saskatoon to hold a City licence. A home-based business licence is $135 for a new licence and $95 for the annual renewal. The fee is a deductible business expense. | City of Saskatoon home-based business licence |
| Short-term accommodations | Short-term rental properties need a Commercial Business Licence plus a signed Host Declaration confirming safety requirements such as smoke detectors and egress windows, with owner or condo permission if applicable. | City of Saskatoon short-term accommodations |
Law: City of Saskatoon Bylaw 9746, The Business Licence Bylaw, 2021; The Provincial Sales Tax Act (Saskatchewan).
Saskatchewan tax rules every Saskatoon business deals with
← Swipe to compare →
| Rule | What it means | Official source |
|---|---|---|
| GST 5% plus 6% Saskatchewan PST | GST registration is required once taxable revenue passes $30,000 in a calendar quarter or over four consecutive quarters. Saskatchewan PST is separate, with its own registration and returns. | CRA GST/HST rates page and Saskatchewan PST |
| Saskatchewan small business rate: 1% up to $600,000 | Canadian-controlled private corporations pay 1% Saskatchewan tax on the first $600,000 of active business income. The federal limit is $500,000, so the combined rate is 10% up to $500,000 and 16% on the next $100,000. The general rate is 12% (27% combined). | CRA corporation tax rates |
| PST on accounting services | Saskatchewan Bulletin PST-62 treats many accounting services that relate to Saskatchewan as taxable at 6% PST. Check it when you budget for any professional fees, not just ours. | Bulletin PST-62, Accounting Services |
| WCB Saskatchewan coverage | Most Saskatchewan employers in covered industries must register with the Saskatchewan Workers' Compensation Board and report payroll each year. | WCB Saskatchewan |
| Saskatchewan annual return | Every Saskatchewan corporation files an annual return with ISC (the Corporate Registry) by the end of the month after its anniversary month. A corporation that stays overdue can be struck off the register. | Saskatchewan Corporate Registry |
Saskatchewan has no employer health tax. The $600,000 provincial limit is higher than the federal $500,000, which matters when profit lands between the two: that slice is taxed at 16% combined, not 10%. More in our guides to corporate tax rates in Canada and GST/HST filing deadlines.
Law: Excise Tax Act s.165 (GST); Excise Tax Act s.240(1) (registration required); Income Tax Act s.125(1) (small business deduction); The Provincial Sales Tax Act (Saskatchewan).
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: GST and PST 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 is priced per year, 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 Saskatoon 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 (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).
The CRA program covers your income tax and GST. Saskatchewan PST is administered by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Finance, so late PST returns are handled separately; we deal with both.
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).
