Healthcare Professional Corporations Tax Filing
A healthcare professional corporation is not a regular business corporation. Ontario restricts who can be a shareholder, what services the corporation can provide and how income flows between the practitioner and the entity. Doctors bill OHIP through the corporation. Dentists collect patient fees and insurance payments through the corporation. Pharmacists have dispensing fees, ODB claims and front-store retail all flowing through one entity with different HST treatment for each. A T2 filed by a generalist accountant who does not understand these structures costs healthcare professionals thousands in missed deductions, incorrect HST treatment and poor compensation planning every single year.
We file corporate tax returns for healthcare professionals across Ontario and Canada. T2 filing, HST-exempt medical service classification, OHIP and insurance billing reconciliation, medical equipment CCA, associate income structures, professional corporation compliance and salary-dividend optimization. From $400. AFFORDABLE flat fees.

How We Handle Corporate Tax for Healthcare Professionals
A 6-step process for medical, dental, pharmacy and allied health corporations. AFFORDABLE flat fees.
Revenue Stream Separation and Reconciliation
Healthcare corporations have 3 to 5 revenue streams flowing into one bank account.
- OHIP billings reconciled to Remittance Advice statements (doctors, optometrists).
- Third-party insurance payments (dental, chiropractic, physio) matched to claims.
- Patient direct-pay and co-pay tracked separately from insured amounts.
- Dispensing fees and ODB reimbursements reconciled (pharmacy).
- Front-store retail revenue separated from professional service revenue (pharmacy, optometry).
HST Classification: Exempt vs Taxable
Healthcare has the most complex HST rules of any service industry.
- Medical services by licensed physicians: HST-exempt. No HST charged or claimed.
- Dental services: HST-exempt when provided by a licensed dentist or dental hygienist.
- Cosmetic procedures (not medically necessary): taxable at 13% HST.
- Pharmacy dispensing: HST-exempt on prescription drugs. Taxable on OTC and retail.
- Medical supplies sold to patients (braces, orthotics, hearing aids): mixed rules apply.
Professional Corporation Compliance
Ontario professional corporations have restrictions that regular corporations do not.
- Shareholders must be the practitioner (and in some professions, family members).
- Corporation can only provide services within the practitioner's regulated profession.
- Annual certificate of authorization renewed with the regulatory college.
- Corporate name must include the practitioner's name and "Professional Corporation."
- Directors must include the licensed practitioner. Non-practitioner directors limited.
Medical Equipment CCA
Healthcare equipment is expensive. CCA provides significant tax relief.
- Diagnostic equipment (X-ray, ultrasound, dental imaging): Class 8 at 20% or Class 12 at 100% (under $500).
- Dental chairs, operatory equipment, exam tables: Class 8 at 20%.
- Computer systems, EMR hardware, practice management: Class 50 at 55%.
- Leasehold improvements (clinic buildout, plumbing, HVAC): Class 13 straight-line.
- Accelerated Investment Incentive: up to 1.5x CCA in Year 1 on new equipment.
Compensation Planning for Healthcare Practitioners
Healthcare professionals typically earn $150,000 to $600,000+. The salary-dividend split matters enormously.
- Salary to create RRSP room. At $300K+ income, maximum RRSP room saves $15,000+ in tax annually.
- Dividend top-up saves CPP: $4,056/year at maximum pensionable earnings.
- Year-end bonus to keep corporate income under $500,000 SBD threshold.
- Spousal salary for practice management (receptionist, billing) if legitimate duties exist.
- IPP (Individual Pension Plan) evaluation for practitioners over 40 with consistent high income.
T2 Filing with Healthcare Schedules
Filed electronically. Every healthcare-specific deduction captured.
- NTR financial statements with healthcare chart of accounts.
- GIFI codes mapped to professional service income, dispensing, retail.
- Continuing education, conference travel and licensing fees deducted.
- Professional liability insurance (malpractice) deducted.
- Associate payments tracked correctly: T4A for independent, T4 for employed.
