A Montréal dual-filing practice
CRA and Revenu Québec deadlines on one board in Montréal
Six staff
Every scenario below is illustrative. SpeedNum does not publish customer results it has not measured, so these pages describe firm archetypes and the workflow that fits them — no client names, no quotes, no numbers we cannot stand behind.
The situation
Quebec corporations file with two administrations. Most dates align, which is exactly what makes the ones that do not so easy to miss.
Firms that carry the difference as tribal knowledge lose it the moment a staff member who holds it is unavailable.
How the workflow fits
Two obligations, modelled as two services
Federal and provincial filings are separate service assignments with their own cadences and due rules, even where the dates currently coincide.
The administration is a label, not a colour
Colour is reserved for urgency across the whole firm. The administration reads from the service code, so the SLA triage keeps one meaning.
New staff see two because there are two
Nobody needs to be told about the divergence — the board shows both obligations for every client that has both.
What changes day-to-day
- A QST frequency change is one record edit and the calendar follows.
- Staff who have never worked a Quebec file still see the full obligation set.
- Both administrations appear on the same board without competing colour schemes.
