Tax Accountant for Importers in Ontario and Across Canada
We register your corporation in the CBSA CARM Client Portal with its own financial security so your containers keep Release Prior to Payment, recover the 5% import GST paid at the border as an input tax credit on every return, capitalize duty, brokerage, freight and insurance into landed inventory cost under section 10, verify your HS tariff classifications, CUSMA, CETA and CPTPP origin certificates and any countermeasure surtax exposure, file duty-drawback claims on goods you re-export, book the foreign-exchange gains and losses on your USD, EUR and CNY supplier invoices on income account, and file Form T106 where you buy more than $1 million from a related overseas supplier. Whether you import consumer goods, industrial parts, food products or e-commerce inventory for resale, we handle the CARM reconciliation, the landed-cost inventory, the 13% HST on your Ontario sales, the warehouse payroll with WSIB, and plan the salary, dividends and eventual sale of your company — with AFFORDABLE flat fees.
AFFORDABLE Importer Tax Accountant
An importer brings goods into Canada for resale or for use in its own business, and the books are driven by the border: customs duty, import GST, landed cost and currency. Every commercial importer needs an import/export (RM) program account under its business number, and since CBSA’s CARM became the system of record in October 2024 your corporation must be registered in the CARM Client Portal, file Commercial Accounting Declarations, and post its own financial security to keep Release Prior to Payment, with duty and the 5% import GST accounted monthly on the Statement of Account. That border GST is fully recoverable as an input tax credit, but only by the registrant that is the importer of record, and your broker’s invoices have to be reconciled to CARM before the credit is safe. Customs duty, brokerage, freight, insurance and non-recoverable taxes are capitalized into inventory cost under section 10 of the Income Tax Act, HS tariff classification and CUSMA, CETA and CPTPP origin determine how much duty there is, and USD, EUR and CNY supplier invoices create foreign-exchange gains and losses on income account under section 9. That is why you need a specialist who knows the trade. At Gondaliya CPA, we specialize in CARM reconciliation, import GST recovery, customs and landed cost accounting for importers and corporate tax planning, providing AFFORDABLE flat-fee support that keeps you CRA-compliant and stops you paying more tax than you owe.
As an import company accountant and CPA for importers, we work with container importers, Amazon and e-commerce importers, non-resident importers, industrial-parts distributors and consumer-goods importers across Ontario, with year-round support rather than a once-a-year scramble. We tell you plainly what you can deduct, what has to sit in inventory, and where the real margin sits on each product line after duty, surtax and freight.
Let us handle the numbers so you can focus on the work that actually pays you.
Our Official Partners
Accounting That Understands How an Import Business Actually Works
Running an import business comes with financial pressures a domestic reseller never faces. You pay duty and 5% GST on every container before you have sold a unit, you carry inventory whose true cost includes duty, brokerage, freight and insurance, you owe suppliers in USD, EUR or CNY while you collect in Canadian dollars, and you answer to CBSA through CARM as well as to CRA. At Gondaliya CPA, we understand the financial reality of an importer and provide practical, trade-focused solutions across the GTA and all of Ontario.
Stay Compliant and Minimize Your Import Business Tax
For an importer, staying onside with CRA, CBSA and WSIB and paying the least legal tax are the same job. We keep every filing on schedule while claiming every import GST, landed-cost and foreign-exchange dollar the T2 and the HST return allow, so nothing is missed and nothing invites a reassessment.

Why Choose Our Accounting Services for Importers?
Tax Planning — Customs, Duty & Drawback Expertise
We know the trade: HS tariff classification, CUSMA, CETA and CPTPP origin, countermeasure surtaxes and remission, duty drawback and the Duties Relief Program, SIMA duties as part of cost, delivery vans in Class 10 at 30% and heavy trucks in Class 16 at 40%. We protect the $500,000 Small Business Deduction and plan around the $1.25M capital gains exemption.
Consulting — Landed Cost, CARM & FX Bookkeeping
Our bookkeeping capitalizes duty, brokerage, freight and insurance into section 10 inventory by SKU, reconciles every broker invoice to the CARM Statement of Account, claims the 5% import GST as an ITC, and revalues your USD, EUR and CNY payables under section 9. We cost each product line so you see the real margin and tie HST to revenue.
CRA Representation — Import GST & Inventory Audit
When CRA reviews your border GST credits, your landed-cost inventory, your foreign-exchange treatment or your T106 filings, or CBSA opens a trade-compliance verification, we prepare the response, reconcile WSIB, and pursue relief on Form RC4288 where penalties came from a prior error.
Bookkeeping — Payroll, Related Parties & Sale
We run your warehouse and driver payroll with WSIB, file Form T106 with transfer-pricing support for your related overseas supplier, and get you ready to sell. We model the profit level where incorporating pays off and handle the eventual disposition of your company.

Accounting & Tax Services Tailored for Importers

- We prepare your T2 with GIFI on Schedule 100 and Schedule 125, separating imported-goods resale revenue from freight recoveries and duty refunds in QuickBooks Online, so CRA’s automated matching never flags your file; on one distributor correct line coding reversed a $16,000 assessment.
- We capitalize customs duty, brokerage, ocean freight and cargo insurance into inventory cost under section 10 of the Income Tax Act rather than expensing them, because CRA disallows the timing difference on audit; on one file we capitalized $120,000 of landed cost.
- We claim capital cost allowance on Schedule 8, placing delivery vans in Class 10 at 30%, heavy trucks in Class 16 at 40% and warehouse racking in Class 8 at 20%; on one $180,000 fleet this produced $38,000 of first-year CCA.
- We book the year-end revaluation of your USD, EUR and CNY trade payables under section 9, reporting the unrealized foreign-exchange loss on income account in Xero, so the deduction lands in the right year; on one importer that was $22,000.
- We file Form T106 with your T2 where purchases from a related foreign supplier exceed $1 million, supported by section 247 transfer-pricing documentation, because the penalty for a missed slip can reach $2,500 per year; one filing cleared a three-year gap.
- We post each container’s supplier invoice, broker statement, freight bill and cargo insurance to a landed-cost inventory account in QuickBooks Online, keeping the six-year record trail section 230 requires; on one file this surfaced $14,000 of unrecorded duty.
- We reconcile every customs-broker invoice to the monthly CBSA Statement of Account in the CARM Client Portal, so duty and 5% import GST tie to the Commercial Accounting Declarations; on one importer this recovered $9,600 of GST the broker had double-billed.
- We track inventory by SKU in Cin7 or Fishbowl with duty, brokerage and freight allocated per unit, so cost of goods sold on Schedule 125 reflects true landed cost; one year-end count corrected a $31,000 overstatement of margin.
- We capture supplier and broker documents through Dext, so the 13% HST on warehouse rent, racking and domestic freight is claimed as input tax credits on line 108 of your return; one cleanup recovered $8,200 of missed credits.
- We separate revenue by product line and by province in QuickBooks against the Schedule 125 lines, so you see which imported lines carry the margin after duty and surtax; on one file this revealed $27,000 of goods sold below landed cost.
- We set up warehouse, driver and office payroll in Wagepoint, withholding income tax, CPP and EI and remitting on the PD7A by the 15th, so a busy receiving season never triggers CRA’s 10% late-remittance penalty, which on a $12,000 remittance costs $1,200.
- We register your WSIB coverage in the warehousing and distribution rate group before the first forklift operator starts, and reconcile premiums in Wagepoint to the T4 Summary; one registration avoided a $14,000 retroactive assessment covering two years.
- We track the taxable benefit on a company delivery van used personally under section 6, calculating the standby charge and operating-cost benefit on the T4 in Wagepoint, so CRA cannot add it back with penalties; one correction was worth $3,600.
- We prepare and file the T4 and T4 Summary slips from your Wagepoint records by the last day of February, avoiding the per-slip penalty CRA applies to late filings; on one warehouse with 25 staff that exposure reached $1,000.
- We manage Ontario Employer Health Tax once annual payroll passes the $1,000,000 exemption, file the annual return alongside the T4 Summary, and reconcile everything to the PD7A in Wagepoint; on one importer this caught $3,900 of unremitted EHT.
- We claim the 5% import GST paid at the border under Division III of the Excise Tax Act as an input tax credit on line 108, matching each CARM Statement of Account to the return in QuickBooks; one file recovered $48,000 previously expensed.
- We confirm your corporation is the importer of record on every Commercial Accounting Declaration, because only the registrant named on the customs declaration can claim the border GST as an ITC; one fix stopped $19,000 of credits being denied on audit.
- Your resale of imported goods to Ontario customers is taxable at 13% HST, so we set the right tax code by province in QuickBooks, charging 5% GST on shipments to Alberta and the place-of-supply rate elsewhere; one review found $11,400 undercharged.
- We apply the drop-shipment rules under section 179 of the Excise Tax Act where you deliver goods in Canada for an unregistered non-resident, obtaining a drop-shipment certificate from the registered consignee so no deemed fair-market-value tax applies; one certificate protected $7,800.
- We reconcile the HST on your returns to the revenue on your T2 and the import GST to CARM every filing period, because CRA’s matching program pulls an importer whose figures disagree; one reconciliation pre-empted a $16,000 reassessment.
- We set the salary-versus-dividend mix, paying enough T4 salary to build RRSP room while the balance flows as dividends, so combined tax stays near the 12.2% Ontario small-business rate under section 125; on one owner this deferred $23,000.
- We keep active income under the $500,000 Small Business Deduction limit under section 125, timing year-end inventory purchases and the section 10 landed-cost valuation so profit is not bunched into a high-rate year; one plan saved $21,000.
- We review your HS tariff classifications and CUSMA, CETA and CPTPP certificates of origin in a tariff register, because a wrong code or missing certificate adds duty that section 10 then locks into inventory cost; one reclassification cut $34,000 of annual duty.
- We file duty-drawback claims on Form K32 and set up the Duties Relief Program where imported goods are later exported, and track countermeasure surtax remission applications, so duty paid at the border comes back; one claim returned $27,000.
- We plan at least two years ahead so your shares qualify for the $1.25M Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption under section 110.6 claimed on Form T657, purifying the company of surplus cash and passive assets; one purification protected $300,000 of gain.
- We reconstruct resale revenue, landed cost and duty from bank deposits, broker statements and CARM Statements of Account where no bookkeeping exists across your unfiled T2 years, rebuilding them in QuickBooks so CRA cannot arbitrarily assess; one rebuild cut a $45,000 estimate.
- Late filing costs 5% of the balance owing plus 1% per month up to twelve months under subsection 162(1), so we file your oldest unfiled T2 first to stop the penalty compounding; on one importer this limited penalties to $7,200.
- We file the missing HST returns, reconciling in QuickBooks the 13% charged on Ontario resale against the import GST and ITCs owed under the Excise Tax Act, so CRA assesses only real net tax; one catch-up turned a $13,500 assessment into a $6,000 refund.
- We rebuild the undepreciated capital cost pools across the unfiled years so missed CCA on Class 10 vans, Class 16 trucks, Class 8 racking and Class 12 software is recovered on Schedule 8; on one file this restored $19,000 of depreciation.
- We file late Forms T106 for each unfiled year where related-party purchases exceeded $1 million, attaching section 247 transfer-pricing support, because the failure-to-file penalty compounds per slip per year; one catch-up capped exposure at $2,500 instead of $24,000.
- When CRA opens an audit, we manage the file and answer the section 10 landed-cost and import GST queries inside the deadlines from QuickBooks and the CARM Client Portal, so a one-year review does not expand into three; one file contained $30,000 of exposure.
- When CRA denies border GST credits because the broker, not your corporation, was importer of record, we produce the Commercial Accounting Declarations and CARM statements proving who was accountable for the duty; one defence restored $22,000 of ITCs.
- We defend your section 9 income-account treatment of foreign-exchange losses on USD and EUR trade payables when CRA argues they were capital, showing the invoices, hedges and revaluation in Xero; on one file this protected a $26,000 deduction.
- We answer inventory and cost-of-goods reviews with the section 10 lower-of-cost-or-fair-market-value valuation, SKU counts from Cin7 and Dext supplier invoices, because a landed-cost deduction disallowed for missing records is lost; one review protected $28,000.
- We file the Notice of Objection on Form T400A within 90 days of a reassessment under subsection 165(1) and pursue taxpayer relief on Form RC4288 where a prior accountant’s error caused penalties; on one importer this cancelled $8,100 of penalties.
- We prepare the CSRS 4200 compilation engagement financial statements, the Notice to Reader a bank requires across two fiscal years, tied to the T2, before approving the $250,000 operating line that finances your containers between supplier payment and resale.
- Your compiled statement of financial position presents landed-cost inventory under section 10, goods in transit, and USD trade payables revalued under section 9 at the year-end rate, giving a lender what a bare T2 cannot; one file unlocked $150,000 of financing.
- We build the statement of operations with resale revenue, landed cost of goods sold and foreign-exchange gains and losses classified consistently in QuickBooks across two years and tied to the T2, so a lender approves the facility; one set supported a $75,000 letter of credit.
- The CSRS 4200 communication discloses that no audit or review was performed, and without it the Business Development Bank of Canada and most chartered banks decline the trade-finance and letter-of-credit facilities an importer needs; one NTR unlocked $90,000 of supplier financing.
- We deliver the compiled statements within 30 days of receiving your records and the year’s T2 figures, because a supplier’s credit terms or a bank’s conditional offer expire; on one deal timely delivery saved a $130,000 inventory financing facility.
- We incorporate your business under the Ontario Business Corporations Act, giving you limited liability against product and customs claims, a defined share structure and the 12.2% small-business rate on the first $500,000 under section 125; on one owner this saved about $20,000.
- We complete the section 85 rollover on Form T2057, transferring your inventory, delivery vans, racking, supplier relationships and goodwill into the corporation at elected amounts, deferring the gain and recapture a straight sale would trigger; on one importer this deferred $58,000.
- We open the corporation’s Business Number with the RM import/export program account, HST and payroll accounts, then register it in the CARM Client Portal with its own financial security so Release Prior to Payment continues; one setup prevented a $9,000 shipment hold.
- We register your WSIB coverage before the first warehouse hand starts and track it in Wagepoint so premiums reconcile to the T4 Summary, because an unregistered employer faces retroactive premiums; one setup avoided a $13,000 assessment.
- We structure the share classes and set the first fiscal year-end up to 53 weeks after incorporation, so dividends split among family shareholders and the first T2 balance-due date is deferred; one importer freed $18,000 for a container deposit.
- We rebuild your unreconciled resale revenue and container costs from bank deposits, marketplace payouts, broker statements and CARM Statements of Account in QuickBooks Online, restoring the section 230 record trail; on one file this recovered $18,000 of import GST never claimed.
- We reconstruct the landed-cost inventory balances you never tracked, allocating duty, brokerage, freight and insurance to each SKU in Cin7, so cost of goods on each catch-up year reflects section 10; one rebuilt count corrected a $26,000 profit overstatement.
- We rebuild the Class 10 van, Class 16 truck, Class 8 racking and Class 12 software CCA pools that went unposted, capturing missed depreciation on Schedule 8 in Xero; on one file this restored $16,000 of undepreciated capital cost.
- We revalue every open USD, EUR and CNY supplier payable at each missing year-end under section 9 and post the realized gains and losses on settlement through Dext-captured remittances; one cleanup moved $12,300 of losses into the correct year.
- We catch up warehouse payroll postings and reconcile the PD7A remittances, WSIB premiums and T4 wages that fell behind in Wagepoint, so source deductions tie to the year-end before CRA’s trust-examination letter arrives; one catch-up cleared a $5,400 discrepancy.
- We file the US Form 1120 or 1120-F return your corporation needs when a US warehouse, fulfilment centre or Delaware buying entity creates a US trade or business, reporting effectively connected income and claiming Canada-US treaty protection; one filing cleared a $14,000 penalty notice.
- We apply the Canada-US tax treaty so profits routed through a US purchasing company are not taxed twice, filing the Form 8833 treaty-based disclosure and claiming foreign tax credits on Schedule 21 of your T2 for US tax actually paid; one claim recovered $11,000.
- We handle the US LLC filings where you hold a US importing or Amazon-selling entity, reconciling its pass-through income to your Canadian T2 and defusing the hybrid-entity mismatch that CRA and the IRS both scrutinize on cross-border goods; one restructuring saved $9,500.
- We manage state nexus and US sales-and-use tax once your goods ship regularly to US customers from a US warehouse, tracking thresholds in QuickBooks and registering only in the states where physical or economic nexus is triggered; one review avoided $6,500 of unnecessary registrations.
- We coordinate Form W-8BEN-E certification for your Canadian corporation so US customers and marketplaces do not withhold the 30% flat tax where the treaty reduces or eliminates it, tracking every withholding statement in QuickBooks; one filing released $9,000 held back at source.
- We file your Voluntary Disclosures Program application on Form RC199 under subsection 220(3.1) before CRA contacts your corporation, because a disclosure accepted under the general program cancels penalties in full and grants 50% interest relief; on one importer this waived $11,200.
- We disclose import GST claimed as an ITC in years your corporation was not the importer of record, or resale revenue that never reached your returns, reconciling to CARM statements in QuickBooks so you earn VDP relief instead of a 50% gross-negligence penalty.
- We correct HST never charged or remitted on Ontario resale through the disclosure, reconciling the 13% shortfall under the Excise Tax Act, so your corporation regularizes without the wilful-default penalties CRA would otherwise apply; one disclosure settled $17,000 of net tax.
- We fold missed Forms T106, expensed landed cost that section 10 required in inventory, and unrevalued foreign-exchange payables into one complete VDP submission, so CRA cannot later reopen the same years it has already accepted; one submission covered four years and $20,000 of tax.
- We confirm your disclosure is voluntary, complete and at least one year overdue as the program requires, filing before any audit or CBSA verification letter arrives, because an importer that comes forward after contact loses all relief; timely filing saved one owner $8,600.

Case Studies: Importer Accounting & Tax
Markham Electronics-Accessories Importer — Import GST Recovery & Landed Cost
The problem: A Markham importer of phone cases, cables and chargers had expensed the 5% border GST as a cost for three years instead of claiming it as an input tax credit, and wrote off duty, brokerage and ocean freight as incurred while the goods still sat in the warehouse. Broker invoices had never been reconciled to the CARM Statements of Account.
What we did: We reconciled every broker invoice to CARM, confirmed the corporation was importer of record on each Commercial Accounting Declaration, claimed the border GST as ITCs on amended returns, and capitalized duty, freight and brokerage into landed inventory cost under section 10.
The result:
- Recovered $48,000 of import GST expensed instead of claimed
- Capitalized $120,000 of duty and freight into inventory
- Broker invoices tied to CARM every month
Mississauga Home-Goods Importer — Incorporation, T106 & Foreign Exchange
The problem: A Mississauga kitchenware importer was running unincorporated, so strong resale margins landed on the owner’s personal return at Ontario’s top 53.53% rate. The goods came from a related overseas factory with more than $1 million of purchases a year, yet no Form T106 had been filed, and USD invoices were booked at random rates with payables never revalued at year-end.
What we did: We incorporated the business and moved inventory, vans and goodwill across on a section 85 rollover, applied the $500,000 Small Business Deduction so active income is taxed near 12.2%, filed Form T106 with section 247 transfer-pricing support, and set income-account foreign exchange under section 9 with year-end revaluation.
The result:
- Cut the combined tax bill materially at the 12.2% rate
- T106 filed, closing a $2,500-per-year penalty exposure
- $22,000 year-end FX loss deducted in the right year
Brampton Machinery-Parts Importer — Tariff Register, Drawback & CARM Books
The problem: A Brampton importer of replacement parts for industrial equipment used inconsistent HS classifications from one shipment to the next, had no idea which lines carried countermeasure surtax exposure, and tracked inventory on spreadsheets that never agreed with the bank. Parts re-exported to US customers never generated a drawback claim, and the monthly CARM Statement of Account was paid without anyone checking it.
What we did: We built landed-cost inventory by SKU in QuickBooks Online with Cin7, set up a tariff and origin register with CUSMA certificates and surtax flags, started duty-drawback tracking on re-exported parts, and put a monthly CARM reconciliation into the close.
The result:
- Consistent HS classification and origin on every entry
- Drawback tracking live on re-exported parts
- Clean, audit-ready books reconciled to CARM
Our clear, efficient process ensures every step is transparent, building trust and long-term client relationships.
