The T2 Short Return is a simplified tax return for Canadian-controlled private corporations with either a loss or nil net income, or for non-profit organizations exempt from tax. Eligible corporations must meet specific conditions, such as having a permanent establishment in one province and not claiming refundable tax credits. The return requires the attachment of three schedules detailing financial information. It serves as both federal and provincial tax returns, except in Quebec and Alberta.
