AFFORDABLE Osteopath Tax Accountant

An osteopathic manual practice is a taxable hands-on business, not an exempt health service, and that single distinction is where most osteopaths overpay or fall offside with CRA. Because osteopathy is unregulated in Ontario and only osteopathic physicians are exempt, your manual-osteopathy treatment is taxable at 13%, so once revenue passes $30,000 you must register for HST, and — the upside — you get to claim the Input Tax Credits on your clinic rent, treatment tables and supplies that exempt practitioners cannot. At Gondaliya CPA, we specialize in HST-and-ITC bookkeeping and self-employed osteopath tax filing, providing AFFORDABLE flat-fee support that keeps you CRA-compliant and stops you paying more tax than you owe.

As experienced accountants for osteopaths, we work with osteopathic manual practitioners (DOMP), cranial and visceral osteopaths, multi-disciplinary clinic osteopaths, and mobile home-visit practitioners across Ontario, with year-round support. We give you tax planning and incorporation advice, tell you plainly what you can deduct, and pinpoint the exact income level where incorporating a business corporation starts putting money back in your pocket.

Let us handle the numbers so you can focus on the patients and treatment that actually grow your practice.

Accounting That Understands How an Osteopath Actually Works

An osteopathic manual practice is taxed like a business, not like a regulated exempt profession, and that reality catches most osteopaths by surprise. Your manual-osteopathy treatment is taxable, your clinic rent and treatment tables carry recoverable HST, your chair-rental and fee-split arrangements have to be booked correctly, and your self-employed profit carries a stack of deductions to get right. At Gondaliya CPA, we understand how an osteopathy practice actually earns and provide practical, osteopath-focused solutions across the GTA and all of Ontario.

💰

Taxable, Not Exempt

In Ontario osteopathy is unregulated and only osteopathic physicians are exempt, so your manual-osteopathy services are taxable at 13%.

💵

The ITC Silver Lining

Because you are taxable, you get to claim Input Tax Credits on your clinic rent, treatment tables, equipment and supplies.

📈

Chair Rental & Fee Splits

In a multi-disciplinary clinic your fee-split and any chair-rental income have to be booked correctly.

🛡

Home Clinic & Incorporation

Your treatment room and equipment are deductions, and at some point a business corporation pays off.

Stay Compliant and Minimize Your Osteopath Tax

For an osteopath, staying onside with CRA and paying the least legal tax are the same job. We keep every filing on schedule while claiming every deduction your practice allows, so nothing is missed and nothing invites a reassessment.

📋

Association & CRA Obligations for Osteopaths

Because osteopathy is unregulated in Ontario and only osteopathic physicians appear on the exempt-practitioner list, your manual-osteopathy treatment is a taxable supply, and once revenue passes the $30,000 small-supplier threshold you must register and charge 13% HST. We keep your professional-association standing and your extended-health billing clean, separate your treatment income from any chair-rental income so both are booked correctly, and register you on the exact quarter you cross so every return is right.

CRA & Self-Employment Obligations

Staying compliant with CRA means more than one return a year. We charge and remit the 13% HST on your services, claim the Input Tax Credits on your clinic rent, tables and equipment, issue T4A slips for your associate osteopaths, calculate self-employed CPP on Schedule 8, and monitor quarterly instalments once net tax owing passes $3,000. By watching the deductions CRA reviews most often on self-employed clinic files, we reduce your audit exposure and keep your practice financially sound.

📈

Year-End Deliverables for Osteopaths

At year-end an osteopathy practice needs organized treatment and chair-rental income, a business-use-of-home calculation, treatment-table and equipment CCA schedules, and a completed Form T2125 (or a T2 if you have incorporated) that ties to your HST returns. Where financing or incorporation is involved, you also need CPA-compiled financial statements. Our team prepares every deliverable on time and in compliance, so your file is audit-ready and financing-ready.

Why Choose Our Accounting Services for Osteopaths?

1
🎯

Tax Planning — HST, ITC & Incorporation Expertise

We know the moves that matter for an osteopathy practice: the taxable-supply HST registration once treatment revenue crosses $30,000, the Input Tax Credits on your rent and tables, and whether to run a business corporation, including a section 85 rollover. We claim what survives a CRA review and flag what will not.

2
💳

Consulting — Treatment, Chair-Rental & Home-Clinic Bookkeeping

Our bookkeeping is built for a manual practice. We split your treatment income from any chair-rental income, book your fee-split arrangement correctly, and tie your home-clinic deductions and equipment to the revenue you report on Form T2125.

CRA Representation — HST, Home-Office & Contractor Audit

When CRA reviews your HST registration timing, your business-use-of-home, or whether your associates are contractors, we prepare the response, defend your deductions, and pursue relief on Form RC4288 where penalties came from someone else’s error.

🏢

Bookkeeping — Clinic, Payroll & Growth

As your practice grows, we track your treatment tables and equipment, issue T4A slips for your associate osteopaths, and model the exact income level where incorporating a business corporation starts to pay.

Accounting & Tax Services Tailored for Osteopaths

Real, practitioner-level CPA expertise for osteopathic manual practitioners, cranial and visceral osteopaths, multi-disciplinary clinic osteopaths, and mobile home-visit practitioners across Ontario — built for how a taxable osteopathy practice is actually taxed.

  • As your personal tax accountant for osteopaths, we prepare Form T2125 for your manual-osteopathy treatment income and settle any balance owing by April 30 even though your self-employed T1 is due June 15, so CRA never adds its 5% plus 1% per month late-filing penalty.
  • We calculate self-employed CPP at 11.9% on Schedule 8 against the net income from your treatment and assessment fees, so the CPP balance owing to CRA never ambushes you at filing the way it does most first-time osteopath filers.
  • We complete the business-use-of-home portion on Form T2125 at your square-footage share, and because it cannot create a business loss we carry the unused amount forward, so no part of your home-clinic claim, often worth over $2,000 a year, is lost to CRA.
  • We claim the vehicle and mileage between home visits and your clinic in Part 8 of Form T2125 from a proper logbook, so a CRA review cannot disallow a claim often worth well over $3,000 a year to a mobile osteopath.
  • We deduct your professional association dues, malpractice insurance and CME costs against business income on Form T2125, recovering over $900 a year that an osteopath filing alone almost always leaves on the table for CRA to keep.
  • Our bookkeeping for osteopaths sets up QuickBooks Online for your treatment revenue and clinic expenses, tagging every deposit and receipt so the $80,000 or more flowing through your account reconciles cleanly to the income CRA expects and year-end filing is a transfer, not a rebuild.
  • We separate your treatment income from any chair-rental income in Xero, because a multi-disciplinary clinic mixes the two, and a $6,000 sublet stream booked as treatment fees distorts both your HST and the profit CRA sees on your return.
  • We reconcile your Jane App booking records and Square payouts to gross treatment revenue rather than net deposits, so the roughly 2.7% processing fee withheld at payout is captured as a deduction instead of quietly shrinking the income you report to CRA.
  • We claim the Input Tax Credits on the 13% embedded in your clinic rent, treatment tables and linens and supplies inside Wave, recovering tax an exempt practitioner never can, often several thousand dollars across your first registered year.
  • We capture receipts through Dext and attach them to each entry, giving you the six years of records the Income Tax Act requires without a shoebox that fails the moment CRA asks for the $4,000 of costs behind a reviewed line.
  • Our tax planning for osteopaths models sole proprietor against incorporated, because a business corporation taxes active treatment income at 12.2% on the first $500,000 under the section 125 small business deduction, versus personal rates as high as 53.53% you pay CRA in full.
  • We tell you when to incorporate a business corporation, usually once your practice earns well above the roughly $130,000 you draw to live on, because incorporating too early just adds T2 filing cost with no CRA saving to show for it.
  • We test dividends to family shareholders against the TOSI rules, because an unreasonable split lets CRA push $12,000 back up to your top personal rate, wiping out the income-splitting saving you set out to capture from the practice.
  • We plan the $1.25M lifetime capital gains exemption on a future clinic sale, because it applies only to shares of a qualified small business corporation, so a sole-proprietor practice sold as assets attracts full tax we help you avoid years ahead.
  • We move your practice into the corporation on a section 85 rollover using Form T2057, deferring the capital gain CRA would otherwise assess on a straight transfer of your treatment tables, patient list and goodwill worth $70,000.
  • We file your unfiled T2125 years oldest first, because the CRA late-filing penalty runs at 5% of the balance plus 1% per month to twelve months, then doubles to 10% plus 2% once CRA issues a demand for a return.
  • For an osteopath behind on filing, we reconstruct your treatment and assessment income from Jane App records, bank deposits and Square payouts, rebuilding a defensible Form T2125 for each year rather than a guess that hands CRA $3,000 more than you owe.
  • Where you passed the $30,000 threshold but missed HST years, we prepare the back GST34 returns, calculate the 13% owed on your taxable treatment, claim the Input Tax Credits, and argue the interest down before CRA assesses the full amount.
  • We file a Voluntary Disclosures Program application and an RC4288 taxpayer-relief request where penalties landed, because an accepted disclosure cancels the penalties in full and grants 50% interest relief on the older years CRA would otherwise charge.
  • We recover the Class 8 capital cost allowance missed on your treatment tables and clinic equipment across each catch-up year, because filing back income without the undepreciated capital cost pool hands CRA roughly $2,500 more tax than you truly owe.
  • You stop being a small supplier the moment taxable revenue passes $30,000 in a single quarter or across four quarters, and we pinpoint the exact day you cross so CRA cannot back-date your registration and assess GST/HST you never collected.
  • Because osteopathy is unregulated and only osteopathic physicians are exempt, your manual treatment is taxable, so once registered you charge 13% and, unlike an exempt provider, claim the input tax credits CRA lets you recover on your clinic costs.
  • We file the Quick Method election on Form GST74, remitting roughly 8.8% of your HST-included treatment revenue instead of 13% less credits, with a 1% credit on the first $30,000 each year, which for a low-cost mobile osteopath cuts your remittance.
  • You claim input tax credits on the 13% embedded in your clinic rent, treatment tables, EMR software and linens and supplies, recovering tax an exempt practitioner never can, often several thousand dollars in your first registered year with CRA.
  • We charge 13% correctly on any chair-rental income you earn subletting a treatment room, because renting real property is a taxable supply too, and we keep it apart from your treatment fees so CRA never questions a mixed return.
  • We correct HST that was never charged on your taxable treatment, registering back to the correct date and restating the 13% owed, so your practice is compliant before CRA assesses the gross-negligence penalty of 50% under subsection 163(2).
  • We claim the input tax credits a prior filing missed on your clinic rent, treatment tables and equipment, amending the GST34 returns inside the four-year window to recover the 13% you were entitled to rather than leave it with CRA.
  • We separate chair-rental income that a prior bookkeeper lumped into treatment fees, restating your books so a $6,000 sublet stream is reported correctly and CRA is not handed HST and tax on a figure that distorts your margins.
  • We reduce a home-clinic share taken at 100% of household costs down to the defensible square-footage portion, before CRA does it for you and adds interest and penalty on the business-use-of-home amount you over-claimed.
  • We reclassify treatment tables and computers a prior filing expensed outright into Class 8 at 20% and Class 50 at 55% through Form T1-ADJ, restoring an undepreciated capital cost pool worth roughly $4,000 of future deductions CRA would otherwise deny.
  • We defend the CRA audit where your HST registration timing is questioned, proving the exact quarter your treatment revenue passed $30,000 and that the 13% was correctly charged on your taxable osteopathy services from that date forward.
  • We answer CRA business-use-of-home reviews with your square-footage calculation and receipts inside the 30-day query window, closing a $5,000 review on paper before CRA can disallow the home-clinic claim outright.
  • We defend a contractor-versus-employee review of your associate osteopaths, showing the T4A arrangement and the control and independence factors, so CRA cannot reassess you for the roughly $8,000 of unremitted source deductions plus penalties on their fees.
  • We manage indirect-income reviews where CRA compares your deposits and lifestyle against the treatment income on your Form T2125, preparing the source-and-application-of-funds reconciliation that closes a $15,000 gap before an audit closes it on you.
  • We file Notices of Objection within 90 days and RC4288 taxpayer-relief requests where penalties flowed from a prior preparer’s error, pursuing cancellation of CRA interest that can exceed $5,000 on a reassessed osteopathy file.
  • We prepare CSRS 4200 compilation financial statements for your osteopathy practice, because a lender cannot verify your treatment income from a Form T2125 alone, and a bare return stalls a $500,000 mortgage approval.
  • We compile a statement of financial position showing your treatment tables and clinic equipment at net book value, supplies and owner’s equity across two fiscal years, so a lender financing a $120,000 clinic build-out sees more than a single page.
  • We present the statement of operations with your treatment, assessment and chair-rental revenue and each operating cost from QuickBooks Online across two years, so a lender sees a stable $100,000 cash flow rather than reclassified noise.
  • The CSRS 4200 communication discloses that no audit or review was performed, and the notes reconcile your owner draws and any T4A associate pay to the income you file with CRA, without which a bank stalls a $200,000 approval.
  • We deliver compiled statements within 30 days of receiving your Xero year-end and the Form T2125 behind it, because osteopathy-practice mortgage and equipment-financing approvals collapse when a lender’s conditional rate hold expires, costing you over $3,000 in a re-quoted rate.
  • We incorporate a standard business corporation for your practice, not a professional corporation since osteopathy is unregulated, and register the CRA Business Number and GST/HST account so your $500,000 small business deduction is available from day one.
  • We move your self-employed practice into the corporation on a section 85 rollover using Form T2057, deferring the capital gain CRA would otherwise assess on a straight transfer of your treatment tables, patient list and goodwill worth $70,000.
  • We build a salary-and-dividend mix and test any dividends to family shareholders against the TOSI rules, because an unreasonable split lets CRA tax $10,000 at the top rate, erasing the saving the structure was meant to deliver.
  • We track your subsection 15(2) shareholder loan on the corporate books, because drawing more than you put in and leaving the $25,000 balance past the year-end deadline makes CRA add it back to your personal income.
  • We register the HST and payroll accounts, prepare T4A slips for your associate osteopaths and PD7A remittances for staff wages, and set the first fiscal year-end up to 53 weeks out, deferring CRA’s tax on your first $90,000 of retained profit.
  • We rebuild months or years of unentered treatment income from your Jane App or Square records, matching every patient payment and chair-rental deposit to your bank feed so your catch-up books show the real revenue CRA will expect to see.
  • Because your manual osteopathic treatment is taxable rather than exempt, we reconstruct the 13% you should have collected once you passed $30,000 and separate it from exempt-style entries, so your rebuilt HST accounts reconcile before you file the back returns.
  • We capitalize the treatment tables, hydraulic plinths and clinic fit-out you bought during the untracked period, posting them to the right CCA classes so your catch-up statements claim the depreciation and input tax credits you missed on that equipment.
  • We locate and record your osteopathic association dues, professional liability insurance and continuing-education costs that were never entered, restoring the deductions that reduce your taxable practice income across every year we bring back into order.
  • We review how you paid associate osteopaths during the catch-up years, classifying each as contractor or employee, so your rebuilt books carry the correct T4A or payroll entries and CRA cannot recharacterize the relationship and assess source deductions.
  • If you run your osteopathy practice through a US C corporation, we prepare Form 1120 with the IRS and reconcile it to your Canadian return, so the same treatment income is not taxed twice under the Canada-US treaty.
  • Where you hold a US LLC that treats patients or subleases treatment rooms across the border, we file Form 1120-F for its US-effectively-connected income and claim the foreign tax credit on your T1 so you are not double-taxed.
  • When your Canadian corporation owns 25% or more of a US entity, we file Form 5472 disclosing the reportable transactions between them, because a missed 5472 carries a $25,000 IRS penalty that dwarfs the cost of filing it correctly.
  • We keep your cross-border structure consistent with your Canadian HST position, since your manual osteopathic treatment stays taxable at 13% here even when a US LLC collects the fee, and we register and remit it correctly on the Canadian side.
  • We handle the W-8BEN, ITIN and treaty-based Form 8833 paperwork an osteopath needs when earning US income, so the IRS withholds at the reduced treaty rate instead of the default 30% on your cross-border practice earnings.
  • We file your CRA Voluntary Disclosure on Form RC199 before any audit letter arrives, because a valid disclosure must be genuinely voluntary, and coming forward first is what protects you from gross-negligence penalties on unreported treatment income.
  • Where you passed $30,000 but never registered because you assumed osteopathy was exempt, we disclose the unremitted 13% on your taxable manual treatment through the VDP, so CRA waives the penalty and charges only the tax and reduced interest.
  • We assemble the multi-year package the VDP demands, restating omitted cash treatment fees, chair-rental receipts and equipment sales across every affected year, so a single complete submission covers the whole history rather than inviting a follow-up review.
  • We assess whether your situation qualifies under the General or the more limited Limited program, because the track CRA assigns decides whether you keep interest relief and avoid the penalty, and we frame your osteopathy disclosure to secure the better outcome.
  • Once CRA accepts the disclosure, we bring your osteopathic practice fully current, filing the corrected T1, T2125 and back HST returns together so your records are clean and you never face the same exposure on future treatment income again.

Case Studies: Osteopath Accounting & Tax

Toronto Manual Osteopath — HST Registration & ITCs Recovered

The problem: A Toronto osteopathic manual practitioner had passed $30,000 in treatment revenue two years earlier but had never registered for HST, assuming osteopathy was exempt. In fact only osteopathic physicians are exempt, so her manual-osteopathy services were taxable at 13% the whole time, and she had charged nothing and claimed no Input Tax Credits on her clinic rent, treatment table or supplies. CRA had begun a review of the unregistered period.

What we did: We registered her back to the correct quarter, reconstructed her Jane App and Square records, calculated the 13% owed on her taxable treatment, and claimed the Input Tax Credits on her clinic rent, treatment tables and linens and supplies that an exempt practitioner can never recover, then filed every outstanding GST34 return.

The result:

  • Recovered $7,800 of previously unclaimed Input Tax Credits
  • HST brought fully compliant and correctly back-dated
  • Quick Method reviewed for future remittance savings

Ottawa Osteopath — Home Clinic & Equipment CCA

The problem: An Ottawa osteopath treating patients from a converted room at home was filing a bare T1 through a DIY program, reporting her treatment income with almost no deductions. She claimed nothing for the room she worked from, had expensed her treatment tables and clinic equipment outright instead of capitalizing them, and had never deducted her professional dues, malpractice insurance or CME costs.

What we did: We moved her onto a proper Form T2125, claimed the business-use-of-home portion on a square-footage basis, capitalized her treatment tables and equipment in Class 8 at 20% and her computer in Class 50 at 55% with the correct CCA, and captured her dues, malpractice insurance and CME. We calculated self-employed CPP on Schedule 8.

The result:

  • Saved $6,900 in tax across the corrected year
  • Business-use-of-home made audit-defensible
  • Treatment-table and equipment CCA pool established

Mississauga Clinic Osteopath — Chair Rental, Fee Split & Incorporation

The problem: A Mississauga osteopath in a busy multi-disciplinary clinic was earning well above what she needed personally, but her chair-rental income and her fee-split with the clinic were tangled together in one account, and she took everything as self-employed income taxed at Ontario personal rates as high as 53.53%. She had no corporation and no structure for the surplus.

What we did: We separated her treatment fee-split from her chair-rental income and booked each correctly, then incorporated a standard business corporation and modelled the move in on a section 85 rollover, taxing active income at 12.2% on the first $500,000 under the small business deduction and building a salary-and-dividend mix tested against the TOSI rules.

The result:

  • Chair-rental and fee-split income booked correctly
  • Business corporation and section 85 rollover modelled
  • Salary/dividend mix structured within TOSI

Osteopath Accounting & Tax FAQs

Should I incorporate as an osteopath?
Osteopathy is not a regulated profession in Ontario, so you incorporate a standard business corporation, not a professional corporation, and there is no college certificate of authorization to obtain. As a sole proprietor your treatment income is taxed on your T1 and Form T2125 at your full personal rate, reaching 53.53% in Ontario, whether you spend it or leave it in the practice. A business corporation instead taxes active income at about 12.2% on the first $500,000 under the small business deduction, which is what lets you defer tax on the surplus you do not need to draw. The decision usually turns on whether you consistently earn well above the roughly $130,000 you take out to live on. Incorporation also opens salary-versus-dividend planning and family shares, though dividends to family must pass the TOSI rules. It brings annual T2 filing and higher compliance cost, so incorporating too early rarely pays. When the answer is yes, we handle the incorporation and the section 85 rollover of your practice on Form T2057. When it is not yet, we say so and revisit it next year.
How are osteopaths taxed in Canada?
Most osteopaths are self-employed sole proprietors, reporting treatment, assessment and chair-rental income on Form T2125 with self-employed CPP at 11.9% on Schedule 8 and a full range of deductions. Because osteopathy is unregulated in Ontario, your manual-osteopathy services are taxable, and once revenue passes $30,000 you also register for and charge 13% HST. Your self-employed T1 is due June 15, though any balance owing is due April 30. As the practice grows you can incorporate a business corporation and access the small business deduction. We confirm your structure and file it correctly so you are never paying more than you owe.
Are my manual-osteopathy services HST-taxable or exempt?
Taxable, in almost every case. Only osteopathic physicians appear on the health-care exemption list under the Excise Tax Act; a manual osteopath or DOMP is not a regulated exempt practitioner in Ontario, so your treatment, manual therapy, cranial osteopathy and assessments are taxable at 13% once you pass $30,000. The practical upside is real: an exempt provider charges no HST but claims no Input Tax Credits, while you charge HST and recover the credits on your clinic rent, tables, equipment and supplies. This is the single most valuable distinction in an osteopathy practice, and we make sure you are on the correct side of it and filing accordingly.
Do I have to register for HST, and when?
Yes, once your taxable revenue passes the $30,000 small-supplier threshold in a single calendar quarter or across four consecutive quarters. From that point you must register for HST, charge 13% on your taxable osteopathy services, and file GST34 returns on the schedule CRA sets. Getting the date right matters, because CRA can back-date your registration and assess HST you never collected from patients. We pinpoint the exact quarter you cross, open your GST/HST account under your Business Number, and file every return so nothing is assessed against you.
Can I claim Input Tax Credits?
Yes, and this is the benefit an exempt practitioner never gets. Once you are registered, you claim Input Tax Credits for the 13% HST embedded in your clinic rent, treatment tables, clinic equipment, EMR software, linens and supplies and marketing. The credits offset the HST you collect, so in your first registered year they often add up to several thousand dollars. We track them in QuickBooks Online, Wave or Xero and claim them on every GST34 return, so you recover the tax you are entitled to instead of leaving it with CRA.
Should I use the Quick Method?
Often, yes, if your costs are low. The Quick Method lets you remit roughly 8.8% of your HST-included treatment revenue instead of charging 13% and claiming back Input Tax Credits, with a 1% credit on the first $30,000 each year. It suits a mobile or low-overhead osteopath with few taxable purchases, while a clinic osteopath with heavy rent and equipment usually does better claiming full credits. We run both numbers for your practice and file the Form GST74 election only when it genuinely leaves more in your pocket.
How do I account for chair-rental and fee-split arrangements?
Carefully, and separately from your treatment fees. In a multi-disciplinary clinic you may take a fee-split on the treatment you perform and also earn chair-rental income when you sublet a room, and each is booked differently: the split is your service revenue, while renting real property is its own taxable supply. We keep the two streams apart in your books so your HST is charged correctly on each and CRA never questions a mixed return, and so your margins on treatment and on rental are both accurate.
What can I deduct as a self-employed osteopath?
A self-employed osteopath reporting on Form T2125 gets a full range of business deductions: clinic rent, treatment tables and clinic equipment through the correct CCA class, linens and supplies, associate fees, front-desk wages, professional association dues, malpractice insurance, CME costs, EMR software, payment-processing fees, and business-use-of-home and vehicle costs. You also pay self-employed CPP at 11.9% on Schedule 8. We make sure every legitimate cost is captured and documented so it survives a CRA review.
How do I deduct my home clinic and equipment?
If you treat patients from home, the business-use-of-home portion is deductible on Form T2125 on a square-footage basis, though it cannot create a business loss, so any unused amount carries forward. Your treatment tables and clinic equipment are capital, not a simple expense: they go into Class 8 and depreciate at 20% a year, while your computers sit in Class 50 at 55%. A rented treatment room is deductible in full. We set the CCA schedules up correctly so you claim the right amount each year and CRA cannot disallow it.
How do I pay my associate osteopaths?
Usually as contractors on a T4A, not as employees. Associate osteopaths who set their own hours, carry their own insurance and are paid a share of the fees they generate are typically independent contractors, so you issue a T4A rather than running payroll and remitting source deductions. Getting this wrong is a common CRA audit trigger, so we document the arrangement and, where a worker is genuinely an employee, set up payroll and PD7A remittances instead. We keep the classification defensible before CRA asks.
How do I handle extended-health-benefit billing?
Your patients generally pay you directly and then claim reimbursement through their extended-health benefit plans, and many practices also direct-bill the insurer. Either way the full fee is your taxable revenue and the HST applies, regardless of whether the patient is later reimbursed. We record the gross treatment income, reconcile any direct-billing deposits and clawbacks, and keep it separate from chair-rental income, so your Form T2125 and your HST return both reflect what you actually earned.
What records does CRA want from an osteopath?
CRA expects six years of records: your treatment, assessment and chair-rental income, your Jane App and payment-processor statements, equipment and supply receipts, clinic-rent and home-clinic records, associate-payment records, and your HST filings once registered. We keep these organized in QuickBooks Online, Wave or Xero so your file is audit-ready whenever CRA asks, and if you have incorporated we hold the corporate records behind your T2 as well.
