Taxation for Sole Proprietorship

My wife is Sole Proprietorship of a business and has business bank account that is used everything business.
Now she wants a personal bank account for her personal expenses. (she would pay herself I think from the business account)
So my question is how does taxation work here, do we have file tax for both business and personal? or we just file for business ?
This is for Ontario.

Thanks for any input

What taxes are you referring to?

For Income Tax as a self-employed person she would report the business income using form T2125 Statement of Business or Professional Activities in her personal tax return.
For HST she would file the return for the business to report the sales and input tax credits

Exactly.

As a sole proprietorship any business income (net) IS personal income. Having separate bank accounts is a convenience and keeps the business side and personal side of finance clearer but makes no difference as to taxes for a sole proprietorship.
