CANTAX T2 Pay-Per-File is the perfect solution for tax professionals who prepare a low volume of tax
returns in a year. Now you can download the tax software free of charge and pay only for tax returns that you
actually file (paper filing only). The cost for each tax return is only $139 - much less than you would pay for
the more traditional approach of purchasing a higher price tax package.
How It Works
After installing the program, you may prepare corporate tax returns; however, you cannot print a return
until it is purchased.
When you have completed a corporation's return and are ready to print, select Purchase Return from the
File menu. A dialog box will appear showing you the tax return's corporation name, business number and
taxation year start/end dates. These items of information will be "burned" permanently into the return after
the purchase. If you are sure the data is correct, click Yes, otherwise, click No and correct the T2-ID
form in the return. If you clicked Yes, a series of dialog boxes will take you through the purchase process.
You will be prompted to enter your identification and credit card information. When completed, CANTAX T2 Pay-Per-File
will contact our E-commerce site via your Internet connection to have the purchase authorized.
You must be connected to the Internet. Your personal and credit card information is secure since we use the standard
"Secure Sockets" feature of Windows to encrypt your data before it leaves your computer.
When the purchase is authorized, the tax return is permanently marked with the corporation name, number and taxation
year end date, which cannot be changed. You can then print the corporate tax return. You may perform the
normal backup and update operations on purchased returns as well. The system is designed to allow filing of a corporate
tax return for a particular taxation year end. To do a subsequent filing for another taxation year, simply purchase
another tax return.

If I find that I have to prepare many corporate
tax returns this year, can I purchase CANTAX T2Plus and receive a credit for the returns I have already purchased
this year?
You can certainly purchase the CANTAX T2Plus program at any time. However, we will not be able to issue any credits
for any tax returns purchased individually. The CANTAX T2Plus (unlimited) program is sold on a yearly subscription
basis, whereas the CANTAX T2 Pay-Per-File program is sold on a per return basis.
If I have a yearly subscription to CANTAX T2

from then on.

accept VISA, MasterCard and American Express cards. The E-commerce site uses standard encryption for protection of your
data. For extra security, we do not store your credit card information on our servers. Your computer must have Internet
access to be able to purchase a corporate tax return.

on more than one computer, can I prepare and purchase a T2 return on one computer and print the return on another computer?
Yes. The individual tax return file itself carries the record of purchase, so that file can be printed using any CANTAX T2 product
with a compatible version number.
