 Annual Return

Every financial corporation subject to Corporation Capital Tax (CCT) must file a CCT return, even if no tax is payable. For corporations claiming exempt status, we may still request you file a return to verify the exemption claim.

 Special-01 (FIN 651)

banks, trust companies, credit unions, and loan corporations that are subsidiary to a bank

The following schedules, if applicable to your corporation and the particular tax year, must be filed with the CCT return:

 Schedule A

Calculation of Retained Earnings (Deficit)
Total Assets

 Schedule E

Allocation Schedule

 Schedule F

Schedule of Associated Financial Corporations

 Schedule G

Calculation of Capital Tax Payable

 Schedule H

Authorization Form - must be completed in order for us to discuss any CCT issues with a named representative of the corporation. A corporation may have more than one authorized representative for a specific tax year.

 Schedule I

Details of Change

 Schedule J

Calculation of Total Paid Up Capital for Authorized Foreign Banks

CCT returns and schedules are automatically mailed to all corporations registered with the Income Taxation Branch. Your CCT account number is pre-printed on the return, along with a computer barcode containing this data. Therefore, you should not use a CCT return that has been pre-printed for another corporation or for another tax year. The generic forms can be downloaded from our Forms page, or you can contact us to request them.

You may choose to file a return using a software-generated version of the form. We must approve the format and style of the form produced by the software prior to its use. This will eliminate the need for us to send you a pre-printed form.

A signed copy of the CCT return must be filed with us at the following address:

The following items must accompany the CCT return:

the financial corporation's complete set of non-consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, other than the equity method of accounting, and presented to the shareholders of the financial institution
if the corporation has an interest in a partnership or joint venture, those financial statements must also be included

a copy of the corporation's federal income tax return (T2) and supporting schedules for the relevant tax period

 Due date of return

The CCT return must be filed within 184 days of the end of the corporation's tax year. A postmark date will be accepted as the filing date.

 Penalties and Interest

If you do not file by the due date, the corporation is liable to a late-filing penalty of 10% of the amount of unpaid tax. In addition, debit interest on any overdue tax amounts will be levied at prescribed rates.

The legislation also provides for additional penalties in various situations resulting from non-compliance with the legislation.

If you make a voluntary disclosure, it is our policy to waive penalties associated with the non-filing of the return, provided that you meet the conditions for voluntary disclosure outlined in Bulletin CCT 009, Voluntary Disclosure Program: Corporation Capital Tax Act.
