Bookkeeping and tax for Osoyoos

Osoyoos is a town of busy summers and quiet winters, at the southern end of the Okanagan near the US border. Dockweiler works with Osoyoos businesses and households from our office in Penticton.

Who we work with in Osoyoos

Along with Oliver, Osoyoos is part of the area that grows more than 60 percent of BC's wine grapes, and tourism around the lake brings a large summer population. We work with:

• Resorts, motels, campgrounds and short-term rental hosts.
• Wineries, vineyards, orchards and fruit stands.
• Restaurants, marinas and seasonal recreation businesses.
• Trades and contractors, many working on both residential and commercial jobs.
• Retirees and seasonal residents with Canadian filing obligations.

Local detail that matters

Seasonal businesses often earn most of their revenue in a few months but pay costs all year. Monthly bookkeeping, even if it is light in the winter, makes GST and year-end far easier. If you register for GST because your revenue passed $30,000, your filing schedule depends on your revenue and the choices you made at registration. CRA on when to register and GST filing deadlines.

Short-term rental rules in Osoyoos are set by the town and differ from Penticton's, so check with the Town of Osoyoos for local licensing. The federal rule applies everywhere: since 2024, CRA can deny expenses for days a rental did not comply with local rules. CRA tax tip.
