Accounting Services Tailored for Property Developers & Builders

Real, practitioner-level CPA expertise for land developers, condo builders, townhome constructors, joint venture operators, and infill builders across Ontario — built for how developers acquire land, finance construction, and close sales.

Corporate Tax Filing for Property Developers & Builders

We file your developer corporation T2 return with land acquisition costs, development charges, and lot levies capitalized to inventory — not expensed — so your property development project reports taxable income only when units close and revenue is recognized on Schedule 125.
Your builder corporation corporate tax filing must apply the correct profit recognition method — percentage of completion for long-term projects or completed contract for smaller builds — we select the method that matches your construction financing terms and apply it consistently on your T2.
We capitalize soft costs — architectural fees, legal costs, municipal permit fees, and construction financing interest — to your development project inventory on the T2 return under ITA section 18(3.1), ensuring these costs reduce taxable income only at unit closing rather than creating premature deductions CRA disallows.
Property developers with multiple project-specific corporations must file separate T2 returns for each entity by the six-month deadline — we coordinate all builder corporation filings so associated corporation rules on Schedule 23 properly allocate the $500,000 Small Business Deduction across your development group.
We report interim occupancy revenue from pre-construction condo sales on your developer corporation T2 return in the correct fiscal year — CRA audits builders who defer closing revenue recognition beyond the certificate of occupancy date, triggering reassessments with compound interest.

Accounting & Bookkeeping for Property Developers & Builders

We set up project-level accounting in your developer bookkeeping system so every land acquisition cost, hard cost, and soft cost is tracked to a specific development project — giving you real-time cost per unit and gross margin per project instead of a single blended company number.
We reconcile construction financing draw schedules against your builder bank account monthly, matching each progress draw to invoiced hard costs and holdback amounts so your development company books tie to lender reports and cost certification submissions.
We track purchaser deposits in trust in a separate liability account in your developer bookkeeping — these deposits are not revenue until closing and must not be mixed with operating cash, as Tarion and your construction lender both require segregated deposit reporting.
We record development charges, lot levies, and municipal fees as capitalized inventory costs in your builder company books under the correct project code, ensuring these amounts flow to COGS at unit closing and are not incorrectly expensed as overhead in the period paid.
We reconcile joint venture capital contributions and profit distributions against the JV agreement waterfall terms in your developer bookkeeping monthly, so each partner's equity account and income allocation is accurate before year-end T2 or T5013 filings.

Corporate Tax Planning for Property Developers & Builders

We structure each development project in a separate project-specific corporation so construction lien exposure and Tarion warranty claims on one build do not reach retained earnings or land assets held in your other builder corporations — isolating risk through proper developer tax planning.
We plan closing dates and revenue recognition timing across your builder corporation fiscal year-ends so taxable income from unit sales is spread across periods, keeping each developer corporation under the $500,000 Small Business Deduction threshold where possible.
We set up a holding company above your project-specific developer corporations to receive dividends tax-free under ITA section 112(1), separating surplus cash and investment assets from the operating builder entities that carry construction financing and development risk.
We model the tax impact of vendor take-back mortgages on your developer corporation tax planning — the capital gains reserve under ITA section 40(1)(a)(iii) lets you defer a portion of the gain on land sales where proceeds are received over multiple years, reducing current-year tax.
We calculate quarterly instalment payments for your builder corporation based on the prior-year method or current-year estimate, whichever is lower, so your development company does not overpay CRA instalments during the construction phase before closings generate revenue.

Catch-Up Corporate Tax Filing for Property Developers & Builders

If your developer corporation has two or more years of unfiled T2 returns, CRA can revoke your business number and your construction lender may freeze draw advances — we file all outstanding builder corporation returns and negotiate penalty relief before enforcement begins.
We reconstruct development project costs from bank statements, draw schedule records, and subcontractor invoices when bookkeeping was never completed, building accurate cost certifications and financial statements for each unfiled year on your builder corporation catch-up T2 returns.
CRA charges a late-filing penalty of 5% plus 1% per month up to 12 months on each unfiled developer corporation T2 return — we apply for penalty relief under Taxpayer Relief provisions using Form RC4288 when project delays or financing issues caused the filing gap.
We identify land acquisition costs and soft costs paid in prior unfiled years and capitalize them correctly to inventory on each catch-up T2 return so your builder corporation does not lose these deductions or trigger CRA reassessments for incorrect expense timing on development projects.
If CRA issued arbitrary assessments because your developer corporation never filed, the estimated income ignores capitalized project costs entirely — we replace those inflated numbers with actual land, construction, and soft cost allocations, reducing the outstanding balance significantly.

GST/HST Filing for Property Developers & Builders

New residential housing triggers HST on the full sale price, but eligible purchasers can assign the HST new housing rebate to your builder corporation at closing — we calculate the rebate correctly on your developer GST/HST return so the credit is applied without CRA clawback or reassessment.
We claim ITCs on all HST paid on construction hard costs, subcontractor invoices, development charges, and soft costs on your builder corporation GST/HST return — many developers miss ITCs on legal fees, survey costs, and engineering invoices that are legitimately recoverable during construction.
Your developer corporation must self-assess HST on land purchases from non-registrants using the self-supply rules — we calculate and report this correctly on your builder GST/HST return so CRA does not reassess the full 13% HST on the land acquisition value years after closing.
We track the 36-month deadline for filing HST new housing rebate applications on each completed unit — missing this window permanently forfeits rebates worth up to $24,000 per unit on your builder corporation's development project, a loss that directly reduces project margins.
We reconcile HST collected on pre-construction deposits, interim occupancy fees, and final closing adjustments against HST remitted to CRA each filing period so your developer corporation GST/HST return balances exactly — discrepancies on condo closings are a primary CRA audit trigger for builders.

Corporate Tax Cleanup for Property Developers & Builders

We correct land acquisition costs that were incorrectly expensed instead of capitalized to inventory on prior developer corporation T2 returns — filing amended returns that move these costs to inventory recovers overpaid corporate tax from years where taxable income was inflated before unit closings.
We reclassify soft costs — legal fees, municipal permits, construction financing interest — that previous accountants deducted as current expenses instead of capitalizing under ITA section 18(3.1), filing amended builder corporation T2 returns to align with CRA's required treatment for development projects.
We rebuild your developer corporation retained earnings schedule from inception by reconciling every prior-year T2 return, shareholder distributions, and intercompany loan transactions across project-specific corporations — eliminating balance sheet discrepancies that CRA and your construction lender both flag.
We correct HST new housing rebate accounting entries where previous accountants recorded rebates as revenue instead of reducing the cost of inventory sold — this error overstates both revenue and COGS on your builder corporation T2, creating CRA audit exposure on inflated gross margin figures.
We separate joint venture profit allocations that were incorrectly recorded as management fees on prior builder corporation T2 returns, filing amended returns with proper JV income reporting so each partner's tax position matches the waterfall agreement and CRA does not reclassify the payments.

CRA Audit Resolution for Property Developers & Builders

CRA frequently audits property developers on HST new housing rebate eligibility — we defend your builder corporation's rebate claims by presenting purchase agreements, closing statements, and proof of occupancy as principal residence to meet the rebate conditions under the Excise Tax Act.
We reconcile every bank deposit against pre-construction sales, progress draws, and purchaser deposit trust releases during a CRA audit, proving that construction financing advances and JV capital contributions are not unreported developer corporation revenue.
CRA auditors challenge land cost capitalization on builder audits, questioning whether soft costs were correctly added to inventory — we present cost certification workpapers, ITA section 18(3.1) analysis, and project timelines to defend your developer corporation's capitalization treatment.
We defend subcontractor classification for trades working on your development projects by presenting written contracts, proof of tools ownership, and WSIB coverage — CRA reclassifying trades as employees triggers retroactive CPP, EI, and penalties on your builder corporation.
If CRA reassesses your developer corporation after an audit, we file a Notice of Objection using Form T400A within 90 days and prepare a technical position paper citing ITA sections that support your builder corporation's cost treatment, preventing the reassessed amount from becoming final.

CPA Compilation Report (Notice to Reader) for Property Developers & Builders

We prepare CSRS 4200 compilation engagement financial statements for your developer corporation that construction lenders, JV partners, and Tarion require — a CPA-compiled Notice to Reader carries more weight than internally prepared statements and is often mandatory for draw financing approvals and builder registration renewals.
Your developer corporation Notice to Reader includes a compiled balance sheet showing land inventory at capitalized cost, construction financing liabilities, purchaser deposit trust obligations, and shareholder equity — giving construction lenders and JV partners an accurate snapshot of your builder corporation's project-level financial position prepared by a licensed CPA.
We compile your builder corporation income statement with unit closing revenue, cost of land sold, hard cost allocations, and soft cost capitalizations classified under the correct GIFI codes so the Notice to Reader financial statements match your T2 return exactly and satisfy lender cost certification requirements.
We prepare the CPA compilation report with the required CSRS 4200 communication disclosing that no audit or review has been performed, along with notes to the financial statements covering inventory capitalization policy, revenue recognition method, related-party transactions, and construction financing terms — the standard disclosures construction lenders and JV partners expect on a developer Notice to Reader.
We deliver your developer corporation Notice to Reader within 30 days of receiving your year-end trial balance — many builders lose access to construction draw financing or delay JV profit distributions because their previous accountant did not produce CPA-compiled financial statements on time for the lender's annual covenant review.

Incorporation Services for Property Developers & Builders

We incorporate a project-specific Ontario corporation for each development so construction lien exposure, Tarion warranty obligations, and financing liability on one project do not reach land assets or retained earnings held in your other builder corporations — standard practice for Ontario developers.
We advise property developers on the right share structure at incorporation — common shares for the builder, non-voting shares for family members — so your developer corporation is set up for income splitting and future project sale planning without a costly reorganization later.
We register each newly incorporated developer corporation for CRA program accounts — corporate tax, GST/HST, and payroll — and obtain a Tarion builder registration number so your project-specific entity can take pre-construction deposits and pull building permits from day one.
We incorporate a master holding company above your project-specific builder corporations to receive intercorporate dividends tax-free under ITA section 112(1), creating a structure where development profits flow upward for reinvestment into future land acquisitions without triggering personal tax.
We prepare each developer corporation's first-year corporate minute book with articles of incorporation, director resolutions, and share certificates — construction lenders and JV partners require these documents for financing agreements, land title registration, and your first T2 corporate tax filing.

Yes. Development projects involve HST, cost certifications, holdbacks, joint ventures, and lender reporting that general accountants often miss.
A specialist helps prevent costly compliance gaps and financing delays.

How is HST handled on new residential construction projects?

HST must be tracked by project, including eligibility for New Housing Rebates and proper timing of self-assessments and filings.
Errors can result in denied rebates or unexpected CRA reassessments.

What are cost certifications and why do lenders require them?

Cost certifications confirm actual project costs versus budgets and are required by lenders before releasing construction draws. They provide lenders with confidence that funds are being used appropriately.

How should land acquisition and soft costs be recorded for tax purposes?

Land costs are capitalized, while soft costs may be capitalized or expensed depending on CRA rules and project stage.
Incorrect classification can distort profits and trigger tax issues.

Can accounting errors delay construction financing?

Yes. Inaccurate cost tracking, missing documentation, or incorrect HST treatment can delay or block lender funding. This can slow construction timelines and increase carrying costs.

How are joint venture (JV) profits split and reported for tax?

JV profit splits follow agreed waterfall structures and must be correctly allocated to avoid disputes and CRA issues. Clear reporting protects relationships between partners.

Do passive income or holding companies affect development tax planning?

Yes. Holding structures impact HST flow, small business deduction access, and overall tax efficiency.
Proper structuring can significantly improve after-tax returns.

When should developers register separate corporations for projects?

Separate entities are often used for risk management, financing requirements, and cleaner accounting for each project. This also simplifies audits and potential project exits.

What records does CRA commonly review for developers and builders?

CRA often reviews HST rebates, construction costs, subcontractor payments, and shareholder loans.
Strong documentation reduces audit risk and penalties.

How can proper accounting improve project profitability?

Accurate cost tracking, HST recovery, and tax planning protect margins and support better financing and exit outcomes. This allows developers to scale with confidence and control.
