Frequently Asked Questions: CPA Mississauga
How much does a CPA cost in Mississauga for a personal tax return?
Personal T1 tax return preparation in Mississauga typically ranges from $150–$300 for a straightforward employment income return to $400–$800+ for returns with self-employment income (T2125), rental properties (T776), significant investment income, foreign property (T1135), or complex family situations. At Pathak Professional Corporation, we provide transparent, scope-based pricing — you know the cost before we begin. Most clients find that our fee is recovered many times over in tax savings we identify that they would not have found filing independently.
Can a Mississauga CPA help me if I haven’t filed taxes in several years?
Absolutely — this is a situation we handle regularly. Canadians who have not filed T1 returns for several years face escalating consequences: interest and penalties accumulating on any balances owing, potential loss of refunds (you only have 3 years to claim a refund retroactively), and CRA enforcement action including requirements to file and potentially arbitrary assessments. The CRA’s Voluntary Disclosure Program (VDP) may reduce penalties in some cases. Contact Pathak Professional Corporation at 437-872-7399 to discuss your situation confidentially — catching up on unfiled returns is almost always better than waiting for the CRA to contact you.
Do I need an accountant or a CPA in Mississauga?
In Ontario, only a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) is licensed and regulated to provide certain accounting and tax services — including audit and assurance, T2 corporate tax returns, and professional tax advice. Unregulated tax preparers can file T1 personal returns but cannot provide the same level of tax planning advice, CRA audit representation, or corporate tax work as a licensed CPA. For individuals with employment income and straightforward deductions, an unregulated preparer may suffice. For incorporated business owners, investors, self-employed professionals, or anyone with complex financial situations, a licensed CPA provides substantially more value — both in expertise and in professional accountability.
