Green reports under the accounting standards for private enterprises (ASPE).As Green is growing and the financial reporting and tax requirements are becoming more complex, Jason and Jaclyn have decided that they need help and have hired you, CPA, as their financial controller. It is February 10, 2022, and you have just left a meeting with Jason and Jaclyn, andGreen's bookkeeper. Jason has asked you to provide him with an estimate of taxes payable for the year ended December 31, 2021, using an effective tax rate of 13% for active business income below the business limit and 27% for active business income above the business limit. He would also like explanations supporting the adjustments made to net income per the financial statements in the determination of net income for tax purposes and taxable income. Jason provided you with the prior year's corporate income tax return. You reviewed the return and made notes (Appendix I) of relevant information for the current return.Jason has also asked for your advice on whether Green should pay any estimated taxes payable now or wait until the tax return is completed, in two to three months. In order to avoid interest and penalties in the future, Jason and Jaclyn have requested that you calculate Green's corporate income tax instalments for 2022 and provide them with a recommended payment schedule.Jason thinks that Green's taxable income for 2022 will be approximately 25% lower than it was in 2021.
