Accounting for Auto Dealerships in Saskatchewan
Are you a Dealer Partner in Saskatchewan navigating the high-speed financial demands of the automotive industry? Managing a dealership is a multi-layered challenge that extends far beyond the showroom floor. From balancing inventory costs to optimizing repair and service centers, your financial structure requires more than a generalist approach.
At Murray, Sen & Associates, we serve the auto dealership industry by providing specialized Dealership Accounting and Financial Planning (among other services) tailored to the unique economic landscape of Saskatchewan. Whether you are a large-scale franchise or an independent lot, we act as your strategic partner to drive profitability and ensure long-term stability.
Comprehensive Tax Planning & Compliance for Auto Dealerships
In the automotive world, the fiscal year begins long before the spring thaw. On January 1, your dealership must be prepared for the complexities of CRA compliance. We help you navigate the specific requirements of the Statement of Business or Professional Activities, ensuring every deduction is maximized and every filing is accurate.
Our expertise covers the technical nuances that affect your bottom line, including:
- Vehicle Expenses: Proper documentation of motor vehicle expenses and the business use of a motor vehicle is critical to surviving a CRA audit.
- Specialized Forms: We handle the meticulous preparation of Form T2125, with specific attention to Part 5 of form T2125. If your operations include rural components, we also manage Form T2042 (Statement of Farming Activities) and Form T2121.
Operational Excellence Across All Departments
A dealership is a collection of distinct businesses under one roof. Murray, Sen & Associates provides the Leadership & Management insights needed to synchronize your departments. We offer advisory support that speaks directly to the roles within your organization:

- Customer Retention: We help you evaluate the financial impact and tax treatment of your loyalty and rewards program.
