Manage business statements in Pro Tax

Self-employment income: sales, commissions, or fees

Self-employment income includes all your income from sales, commissions, or fees. Your sales include all sales, whether you receive or will receive money, something equivalent to money (such as credit units possessing a notional monetary value), or something from bartering. Bartering occurs when two people agree to exchange goods or services without using money.

If you are a self-employed commission salesperson, this includes all commissions you received.

Types of Self-employment statements

CRA has multiple self-employment statements for different type of incomes. There are separate statements for Business and Professional activities, farming, fishing, and AgriStability.

Note: Pro Tax currently includes only the Statement for Business or Professional Activities.

• T2125 - Statement of Business or Professional Activities
• T2042 - Statement of Farming Activities
• T2121 - Statement of Fishing Activities
• T1163 & T1273 - AgriStability

T2125 - Statement of Business or Professional Activities

Use this form to enter income and expenses from business or professional activities. If you have multiple businesses, use a separate form for each property. The income for loss from these forms flow to Line 13500 and 13700 of the T1 General return.

The T2125 has its own set of forms such as the asset and CCA forms. For example, to enter assets for the T2125 Statement of Business or Professional Activities you will have to open the T2125 Asset form.
