<strong>General</strong> <strong>Information</strong>Who can use <strong>the</strong> GIFI?All corporations—except for insurance corporations—canfile using <strong>the</strong> GIFI.Insurance corporationsThe GIFI does not currently meet <strong>the</strong> reporting needs <strong>of</strong>insurance corporations involved in underwriting(life insurers, deposit insurers, or property and casualtyinsurers). The GIFI does not include items specific <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>insurance industry. You should continue <strong>to</strong> submit a papercopy <strong>of</strong> your financial statements along with your T2 returnand schedules.Non-resident corporationsYou can use <strong>the</strong> GIFI when you report in unconsolidatedCanadian funds. Do not use <strong>the</strong> GIFI if you are filing undersection 115 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Income Tax Act only because you disposed<strong>of</strong> taxable Canadian property or because you are atreaty-based exempt corporation.Partnerships or joint ventures (alsoco-ownerships, co-tenancies)Use <strong>the</strong> GIFI <strong>to</strong> report your own financial statementinformation, but not <strong>the</strong> financial statement information <strong>of</strong>partnerships or joint ventures you may be involved in.For paper-filed returns, send financial statement informationfor a partnership or joint venture, with your return.For returns filed using <strong>the</strong> Corporation Internet Filingservice, send <strong>the</strong> financial statement information for apartnership or joint venture <strong>to</strong> your tax centre. Include acover letter with your name, Business Number, and yourtaxation year-end. Identify <strong>the</strong> financial statements attachedas those <strong>of</strong> partnerships or joint ventures in which you havean investment. Request <strong>the</strong>se statements be included in <strong>the</strong>file <strong>of</strong> your corporation.Inactive corporationsUse <strong>the</strong> GIFI <strong>to</strong> file your balance sheet information. Youmay have an income statement <strong>to</strong> file. If so, use <strong>the</strong> GIFI <strong>to</strong>file this information.First year after incorporationYou may be filing for <strong>the</strong> first year after incorporation. If so,complete two balance sheets: an opening and a closing. Ifyou are not using a s<strong>of</strong>tware package approved by us <strong>to</strong>complete this information, and you are using <strong>the</strong> GIFI-Shortform, write “opening” in <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>p right-hand corner <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>appropriate balance sheet. If you are using <strong>the</strong> GIFIschedules, <strong>the</strong> T2SCH100, Balance Sheet <strong>Information</strong>, is for<strong>the</strong> closing balance sheet information and <strong>the</strong> T2SCH101,Opening Balance Sheet <strong>Information</strong>, is for <strong>the</strong> opening balancesheet information.Deferred expense statementsYou may be involved in exploration and development thathas not yet generated significant sales revenue, and youmay have capitalized deferred expenditures. If so, do notuse <strong>the</strong> GIFI <strong>to</strong> itemize <strong>the</strong>se expenditures. You shouldreport <strong>the</strong> aggregate deferred expenditures as balance sheetinformation. As well, you have <strong>to</strong> report “0” in <strong>the</strong> requiredfields on your income statement information (see “Validitycheck items” on this page).Reporting in Canadian fundsReport your financial statement information in Canadianfunds even if you are a Canadian branch <strong>of</strong> a foreigncorporation.Reporting negative amountsIf you are using a s<strong>of</strong>tware package, it will show you how<strong>to</strong> mark items as negative amounts. If you do not use as<strong>of</strong>tware package, you should mark negative amountsusing brackets ( ) or a minus sign “–”.Reporting in dollarsReport your financial statement amounts in actual dollars;do not report cents (for example, report cash <strong>of</strong> $10,500.75as 10501 at line 1001 – Cash). Do not report amounts inthousands (000) or millions <strong>of</strong> dollars.Reporting unconsolidated financialstatement informationReport your financial statement information for each legalentity (unconsolidated). Include all unincorporatedbranches or divisions within that legal corporate entity.Reporting multiple lines <strong>of</strong> businessYou may have multiple lines <strong>of</strong> business. For moreinformation on how <strong>to</strong> report this type <strong>of</strong> situation using<strong>the</strong> GIFI, see Appendix B on page 26.Using <strong>the</strong> GIFI1. Select <strong>the</strong> items usually reported on your balance sheetfrom items in <strong>the</strong> 1000 <strong>to</strong> 3849 range.2. Select <strong>the</strong> items usually reported on your incomestatement from items in <strong>the</strong> 8000 <strong>to</strong> 9970 range.NoteItems 9370 <strong>to</strong> 9899 relate specifically <strong>to</strong> farming incomeand expenses.3. Select <strong>the</strong> items usually reported on your extraordinaryitems and income taxes from items in <strong>the</strong> 9975 <strong>to</strong> 9999range.Validity check itemsThe GIFI information has <strong>to</strong> balance. We use <strong>the</strong> followingrules <strong>to</strong> verify <strong>the</strong> information you provide.www.cra.gc.ca 5


■ <strong>to</strong>tal assets = <strong>to</strong>tal liabilities + <strong>to</strong>tal shareholder equity■ <strong>to</strong>tal revenue – <strong>to</strong>tal expenses = net non-farming income■ <strong>to</strong>tal farm revenue – <strong>to</strong>tal farm expenses = net farmincomeYou have <strong>to</strong> provide certain line items so that we can verify<strong>the</strong> above equations. Each GIFI must include:Balance sheetItem 2599 – Total assetsItem 3499 – Total liabilitiesItem 3620 – Total shareholder equityNon-farming income and expensesItem 8299 – Total revenueItem 9368 – Total expensesand/orFarming income and expensesItem 9659 – Total farm revenueItem 9898 – Total farm expensesWhen reporting a breakdown <strong>of</strong> retained earningsItem 3849 – Retained earnings/deficit endExtraordinary items and income taxesItem 9999 – Net income/loss after taxesand extraordinary itemsThe amount <strong>of</strong> a required item may be NIL. If so, enter “0”.NoteThese required fields do not represent <strong>the</strong> minimumnumber <strong>of</strong> items that need <strong>to</strong> be GIFI-coded and filedwith <strong>the</strong> CRA. These are codes that must be included,along with all <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r GIFI codes needed <strong>to</strong> represent acorporation’s financial statements.For an example <strong>of</strong> how <strong>to</strong> use <strong>the</strong> GIFI, see page 8How <strong>to</strong> select GIFI itemsThe GIFI consists <strong>of</strong> items you find on a balance sheet andincome statement. The balance sheet section consists <strong>of</strong>items pertaining <strong>to</strong> assets, liabilities, and shareholderequity. Items specific <strong>to</strong> retained earnings are included inthis area as well. The income statement section consists <strong>of</strong>items you find under revenue, cost <strong>of</strong> sales, and expenses.Due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> specific reporting needs <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> agricultureindustry, we have provided a separate section for farmingrevenue and expenses. A section for extraordinary items andincome taxes is listed after <strong>the</strong> farming section. For acomplete listing <strong>of</strong> GIFI items, see Appendix A on page 12.We have fur<strong>the</strong>r divided <strong>the</strong> GIFI in<strong>to</strong> blocks <strong>of</strong> itemswithin <strong>the</strong>se sections. The item at <strong>the</strong> start <strong>of</strong> each block ishighlighted. This item represents <strong>the</strong> generic term for itemswithin <strong>the</strong> block. You may not find <strong>the</strong> item that is an exact,or close match <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> item on your financial statements. Ifso, use <strong>the</strong> generic item.NoteThe generic item at <strong>the</strong> start <strong>of</strong> each block does notrepresent <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> items in <strong>the</strong> block.Assuming that you will prepare <strong>the</strong> GIFI from your ownfinancial statements, use <strong>the</strong> following process when youselect GIFI items:■ try <strong>to</strong> select an exact match from <strong>the</strong> GIFI items on yourfinancial statements;■ if you cannot find an exact match, select <strong>the</strong> mostappropriate item; or■ if you cannot find an appropriate item, select <strong>the</strong> genericitem.Example8760 Business taxes, licences, and memberships8761 Memberships8762 Business taxes8763 Franchise fees8764 Government feesIf your income statement usually shows an account for“business charges”, you could use item 8760 <strong>to</strong> report thisamount.Reporting an amount that combinestwo or more itemsAn amount in your financial statement information maycombine two or more GIFI items. To report this amount,determine which item is <strong>the</strong> greater or greatest amount andchoose <strong>the</strong> most appropriate GIFI item.ExampleCash and term depositsIf cash is <strong>the</strong> greater amount, report in GIFI item 1001 – Cash.If term deposits is <strong>the</strong> greater amount, report in GIFIitem 1181 – Canadian term deposits.ExampleRent, taxes, and insuranceYou could report this in 8911 – Real estate rental, 8762 –Business taxes, or 8690 – Insurance, depending on whichamount is <strong>the</strong> greatest.Completing <strong>the</strong> notes checklistThe notes checklist is included with <strong>the</strong> GIFI in all CRAapproved s<strong>of</strong>tware packages. Complete <strong>the</strong> notes checklistwhen you use <strong>the</strong> GIFI <strong>to</strong> report your financial statementinformation. It should be completed from <strong>the</strong> perspective <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> person who prepared or reported on <strong>the</strong> financialstatements. A copy <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> notes checklist is on <strong>the</strong> nextpage.Part 1 – Accounting practitioner informationAnswer <strong>the</strong>se two questions concerning <strong>the</strong> accountingpractitioner who reported on, or prepared <strong>the</strong> financialstatements <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> corporation. Indicate whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>accounting practitioner has a pr<strong>of</strong>essional designation andwhe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> practitioner is connected <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> corporation byticking ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> Yes or No box for each question.6www.cra.gc.ca


Notes <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> financial statementsYou may have prepared notes <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> financial statements. Ifso, include <strong>the</strong>m with <strong>the</strong> GIFI. If you file electronically,you must include <strong>the</strong> notes with your transmission. Yours<strong>of</strong>tware package should enable you <strong>to</strong> transfer <strong>the</strong> notes <strong>to</strong><strong>the</strong> file you are transmitting, without re-keying.NotesYou cannot include tables and graphs in <strong>the</strong> notes if youare filing electronically. You must convert this type <strong>of</strong>information <strong>to</strong> plain text.You may choose <strong>to</strong> report on <strong>the</strong> GIFI breakdowns <strong>of</strong>items such as capital assets or investments shown in <strong>the</strong>notes.ExampleYour balance sheet shows fixed assets <strong>of</strong> $31,500, with a breakdown found in <strong>the</strong> notes.Cost Accumulated amortization NetLand $ 10,000 $ 10,000Buildings $ 20,000 $ 3,000 $ 17,000Furniture and fixtures $ 5,000 $ 500 $ 4,500Total $ 35,000 $ 3,500 $ 31,500Using <strong>the</strong> GIFI, you could report <strong>the</strong> information from <strong>the</strong> notes as follows:GIFI Code Item Amount1600 Land 10,0001680 Buildings 20,0001681 Accumulated amortization <strong>of</strong> buildings (3,000)1787 Furniture and fixtures 5,0001788 Accumulated amortization <strong>of</strong> furniture and fixtures (500)2008 Total tangible capital assets 35,0002009 Total accumulated amortization <strong>of</strong> tangible capital assets (3,500)Example – Using <strong>the</strong> GIFIThe following example represents a typical set <strong>of</strong> financialstatements.■ Part 1 shows <strong>the</strong> item and amount reported on <strong>the</strong>financial statement, and <strong>the</strong> corresponding GIFI code andname.■ Part 2 shows just <strong>the</strong> GIFI codes and amountsrepresenting what <strong>the</strong> CRA receives ei<strong>the</strong>r electronicallyor on paper if you use a s<strong>of</strong>tware package <strong>to</strong> report yourfinancial statement information.NoteThis example is only a guideline.
