Interest & Penalties
The CRA will charge a late-filing penalty of 5% if you don't file your tax returns by April 30, plus an additional 1% for every month after that date until you pay, up to 12 months. ... And the agency will charge interest on any taxes you owe if you don't pay them on time.

Under the law, you are required to file your tax return and pay any taxes owing by April 30th of the following year. If you, your spouse, or a common-law partner is self-employed and carried on a business in the year of the return, the forms may be filed on or before June 15th.

Rather than installing it on a computer in your business, you access cloud accounting software by signing in online.

All your data is stored on the software provider's servers. This offers a number of advantages over traditional desktop accounting software:

  • The cost is more manageable.You usually pay a monthly fee for cloud accounting software. This doesn't necessarily make it cheaper than paying a one-off fee for desktop software, but it does allow you to spread the cost.
  • You can use it anywhere.Because you access the software over the internet, you can sign in anywhere there's an internet connection. You can also switch between computers and still see the same, up-to-date information.
  • There are fewer management overheads.With no need to install software onto a computer or server, there's no need to keep it updated, either. The software provider will take care of this, as well as providing support and handling backups.
  • There's usually a mobile app.Again, because you sign in to access your data, most cloud accounting packages offer apps that make it easy to carry out key accounting tasks and keep on top of your figures on the go.

The accounting software industry has made a significant shift towards cloud software and apps. As a result, it generally makes sense for smaller companies to opt for cloud accounting software.

Senator Elizabeth Warren popularized the so-called "50/20/30 budget rule" (sometimes labeled "50-30-20") in her book, All Your Worth: The Ultimate Lifetime Money Plan. The basic rule is to divide up after-tax income and allocate it to spend: 50% on needs, 30% on wants, and socking away 20% to savings.

To use desktop accounting software, you must install it on your computer and run it there. All the data relating to your accounts is also stored on your computer.

Cloud accounting software runs on the internet. There's nothing to install on your computer. To access the software, you visit a website and sign in with your username and password. This means you can use cloud accounting software from virtually any device with a connection to the internet (including tablets and mobile phones).

Most businesses now use online accounting software rather than desktop software. Online software is generally cheaper and faster to set up, and easier to use.

Accounting software can be the financial hub of your company. You use it to keep accurate financial records and perform tasks such as:

  • creating and sending invoices
  • creating quotes and estimates
  • recording expenses
  • completing tax returns
  • checking cash flow or profit and loss
  • creating budgets and forecasts

Accounting software can automate many of the repetitive, manual tasks involved in maintaining your accounts. For instance, many packages can be linked to your bank account and automatically check bank transactions against your records.

As well as saving you time, accounting software can give you a better understanding of your business finances. Because the software holds all your financial data, you can generate reports that show how your business is doing.

Finally, accounting software makes it easier to meet the legal requirements when running a business. For example, you can file VAT returns without having to do any manual calculations, or quickly access the figures you need to file your company accounts.
