If an accounting fee/tax preparation fee charged last year (2023) for preparing a 2022 business tax return, should it have been claimed last year in 2023 tax return or should it be claimed this year (2024) in the 2023 tax return?

Any suggestions?

The fee is charged after filing the tax return, so it should be claimed in the next year. Lets say the year end is may 31st 2022. The tax file is filed after the end date of the corporation so the fee should be claimed in the next year.

 

However as usual, verify with CRA if unsure
