AvanTax Filing Services

We've been working with Canadian tax information slips for decades. We annually prepare hundreds of XML submissions and distribute many thousands of slips for clients of every size and description. We like what we do and we're very good at it!

Provided by ELM Computer Systems (also developers of the AvanTax eForms desktop application) AvanTax Filing Services provides safe, secure and reliable online processing of Canadian tax slips; including slip preparation & distribution, XML submissions and filing services for any organization of any size.

Our mission is to provide you with the best tax information slip processing services available, whether on paper or electronic; you'll never be 'just another invoice' with AvanTax.

We know that the heart and soul of your business are the people who show up each day to contribute to its success and our team of experts will work closely with them to ensure your Canadian tax information slip returns are filed correctly and quickly.

Once you've sent us your order form and signed our terms we'll

We prepare, print & mail or email your recipient slips; we'll submit your XML files to CRA or RQ; and we provide all reports for your records.

We also process third-party returns and create individual, custom named slips suitable for download over a corporate portal.

We prepare all of the tax slips and returns listed here; and we'll also take special requests!

How does AvanTax Filing Services compare to processing tax slips in-house? Our volume lets us reduce processing, printing and postage costs for our clients and our decades of experience in Canadian tax processing let us do the job right.

Our clients save money and reduce stress when they subcontract their data processing to us. Give yourself a break and let us do the same for you.

We've added the T550 - Application for Registration of RSPs, ESPs or RIFS under Section 146, 146.1 and 146.3 of the Income Tax Act.

We've added the AGR-1 Statement of Farm-Support Payments.

We've added the T2200S - Conditions of Employment which CRA added for 2020 as a shorter counterpart to the T2200.

"You're the best, thanks for all your help! I’ll be in touch again next year, please keep me on your mailing list."

"You sent me the correction already? So that's why that name seemed familiar to me! Yes, you overachieved on this one. Thanks!"

"Thank you so much for your speedy and efficient service. Please keep us on your mailing list for next year!! Thanks again, have a great weekend and a Happy Easter!"

"Thank you for the quick turnaround. This has been a great experience. I am going to recommend that we use your services in the future."

"Thank you for completing the revisions so quickly. They look great, go ahead and file them with CRA."

"Thank you for the speedy corrections! Yes, please send me a confirmation email once you’ve heard that the letters have been mailed out."

"We were very satisfied with your services last year in assisting to get our T4As filed timely for our Canadian consultants and we would like to use your services again. If you send me the current template I will begin getting it populated and back over to you ASAP."

"A tip of the hat to AvanTax eForms and AvanTax Filing Service's print/mail service, this was likely my most unruffled year of tax slip processing, and I look forward to repeating the process again with both for next year's tax slips."

"Our team was working remotely and we could not figure out how to clear the [XML] errors we received. That is what caused me to engage your firm. I wish I'd found your service 3 years ago."
