Canadian accounting and tax for photographers & videographers

Wedding/event photography, commercial videography, equipment CCA, and creative-services GST/HST. BOMCAS Canada works with photographers & videographers across every Canadian province and territory through a secure virtual workflow — phone, video, encrypted document portal, and direct CRA representative authorization. This page explains how Canadian tax and accounting rules apply specifically to photographers & videographers, what services we provide, the typical engagement structure, and how to get started.

The Canadian tax and accounting landscape for photographers & videographers

Beyond these sector-specific issues, every photographers & videographers client also needs the core Canadian accounting services: bookkeeping, GST/HST filing (or PST/QST where applicable), payroll, year-end financial statements, T1 personal returns for owners, and T2 corporate returns for the company. BOMCAS Canada handles all of these under one engagement letter so nothing falls through the cracks.

What BOMCAS Canada delivers to photographers & videographers

  • Industry-aware bookkeeping in QuickBooks Online, Xero, or Sage Business Cloud Accounting, with a chart of accounts and reporting suited to photographers & videographers.
  • GST/HST/PST/QST compliance tailored to the indirect-tax treatment of your industry (exempt, taxable, zero-rated, or mixed supplies).
  • Canadian payroll with CRA source deductions, T4/T4A/T5018 slips where required, ROEs, and provincial WCB/WSIB/WorkSafe compliance.
  • Personal T1 returns for owners, partners, and employees.
  • Corporate T2 returns for CCPCs and other Canadian corporations, including Alberta AT1 and Quebec CO-17 where applicable.
  • Year-end financial statements (compilation engagements under CSRS 4200) prepared to lender and CRA standards.
  • CRA audit and review representation — when the CRA writes, you forward to us, and we respond.
  • Proactive tax planning — owner-manager compensation, salary vs. dividend, family income splitting (TOSI-aware), and succession.
