For Lockeport, Nova Scotia owner-managers, BOMCAS Canada handles all of them under one engagement letter with no surprises.

The Nova Scotia tax framework that affects Lockeport small business accounting

Lockeport sits within the Nova Scotia tax regime. For small business accounting purposes, three Nova Scotia facts matter most:

  • Sales tax: 15% harmonized sales tax (HST).
  • Corporate tax: general rate 14%, small business rate 2.5% (reduced from 3% in the latest provincial budget) on the first $500,000 of CCPC active business income.
  • Personal tax: Nova Scotia provincial brackets run from 8.79% (lowest) to 21% (top), layered on the federal 15%-33% brackets.
  • Nova Scotia-specific credits: BOMCAS Canada claims Nova Scotia Affordable Living Tax Credit and the Poverty Reduction Credit for every eligible Lockeport client.
  • CRA contact: Lockeport clients' filings are processed through the Halifax Tax Services Office.

Lockeport is a Nova Scotia community. BOMCAS Canada serves Canadians in every Nova Scotia community — regardless of size — through our virtual delivery model and direct CRA representative authorization.

How a small business accounting engagement works for a Lockeport, NS client

  1. Discovery call — a complimentary 20-30 minute phone or video call with a Canadian accountant (not a sales rep). We discuss your Lockeport situation, identify scope, and propose a plan.
  2. Written fixed-fee proposal — quoted in advance with deliverables, timelines, and CRA authorizations needed.
  3. Engagement letter and CRA authorization — signed electronically through our portal. CRA Form AUT-01 authorizes us as your representative.
  4. Secure document collection through our Canadian-hosted client portal with TLS encryption and two-factor authentication. You never send sensitive Lockeport information by plain email.
  5. Preparation by a Canadian accountant with a second-pair review for accuracy.
  6. Client review and electronic signature through the portal with a plain-English summary of the result, tax owing or refund, and forward-looking recommendations.
  7. Electronic filing with the CRA (and Revenu Québec for Quebec clients). You receive copies of every filing and confirmation numbers for your records.
  8. Year-round CRA correspondence handling — when the CRA writes to you in Lockeport, you forward to us and we respond.

Why Lockeport clients work with BOMCAS Canada year after year

Fixed transparent pricing. Every small business accounting engagement is quoted in writing before work begins. Lockeport clients pay the same fixed fees as clients anywhere else in Canada — there is no premium for being outside a major metro.

Canadian-only team. Every Lockeport file is handled by a Canadian accountant who understands the Income Tax Act, the Excise Tax Act, and Nova Scotia-specific legislation. We do not offshore tax preparation or bookkeeping.

Year-round access. Many accountants disappear after tax season. BOMCAS Canada answers the phone at 780-667-5250 during Canadian business hours, year-round, and responds to email within one Canadian business day. For Lockeport clients, that means a real person — not a voicemail box — when the CRA letter arrives.

Nova Scotia industries we serve from Lockeport

Nova Scotia's economy is anchored by ocean industries, fisheries and aquaculture, forestry, manufacturing, tourism, film and digital media. BOMCAS Canada works with Canadian businesses across all of these sectors through our small business accounting service. Each industry has unique CRA exposure points — current vs. capital expenses for real estate investors, TL2 meal claims and IFTA for truck drivers, SR&ED claims for tech and engineering firms, professional corporation rules for medical and legal practices — and BOMCAS Canada adjusts our small business accounting approach to each Lockeport client's industry context.
