Incorporating your business not only entails filing annual corporate income taxes, but also maintaining the status of your corporation with Alberta Corporate Registry. This is accomplished by way of filing corporate annual returns with Alberta Corporate Registry and preparing annual resolutions. Filing annual corporate income taxes and filing corporate annual returns are two very different things, but both are vital to a corporation’s survival.
AzPerLegal takes the fuss and bother of filing annual corporate returns out of your hands by filing these on your behalf and by ensuring that your Minute Book remains up to date in terms of preparing what are called “annual resolutions”. These are documents that must be prepared and filed in your Minute Book each year or when there is a significant change in the structure of your corporation such as adding/removing a director, adding/removing shareholders, issuing/transferring/buying back shares. AzPerLegal is highly qualified in this area and welcomes the opportunity to assist you to maintain your Minute Book.
A Minute Book, for lack of a more sophisticated description, is like a scrapbook of the history of your corporation. The Minute Book contains the original incorporating documents, registers of who the directors, officers and shareholders are, what shares have been issued, the transactional history of those shares (i.e. if they are transferred, sold etc.), director resolutions and shareholders resolutions and ledgers for the shareholdings of each shareholder. What are resolutions, you ask? Resolutions are often prepared in lieu of minutes of meetings and are an easy way to record the transactions/changes in a corporation. I often say if you are not sure whether what you are doing with a corporation is a Minute Book matter, just call. We do not charge for phone calls – just ask “Is this a Minute Book thing?” and we can assist you. There are some things that must be papered with resolutions while others not so much.
Why bother with maintaining a Minute Book? One very important reason, if you are ever audited by the government and you do not have a Minute Book or a Minute Book that is not up to date, you will be in hot water!! Rather than tempt that fate, please contact AzPerLegal and we will ensure that we create you a Minute Book or alternatively, bring your Minute Book up to date so this never happens. We will prepare you a physical Minute Book and if requested, can prepare you a digital copy as well. We are very experienced in this area and have updated/created many Minute Books. When in doubt, just call!
