How do I close a Canadian corporation I no longer use?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

File articles of dissolution with Corporations Canada once debts are paid and remaining assets distributed, and file the final T2 return with the Canada Revenue Agency. A corporation dissolved for missed filings can sometimes be revived later, but that takes more work than closing it on purpose (confirm the steps with your specialist).
