If you need answers, solutions, and a results-driven representative who protects your rights and best interests, now is the time to act.
The CRA begins by notifying you of the years and records under review. An auditor will examine your documentation, compare it against filed returns, and may request additional information or conduct an on-site visit. You will have a chance to respond to any proposed changes before a reassessment is issued.
A qualified representative manages all communications with the CRA, ensures your documentation is accurate, and positions your case to minimize risk and financial impact. This can reduce the likelihood of costly errors or misunderstandings during the audit.
Yes. In some cases, penalties can be reduced or eliminated by correcting errors, negotiating with the CRA, or applying for relief programs. The key is to act quickly once an issue is identified.
This is extremely rare with clients who hire us from the start. That being said, you can challenge the outcome through appeals and dispute resolution. This involves filing a formal objection, taking the matter to a higher level of review for reconsideration, and, finally, to the Tax Court of Canada.
You need professional representation for all CRA tax audits, but complex tax cases like those involving cross-border income, large asset sales, or industry-specific regulations particularly require expert advice. Scheduling a consultation early can help identify and address issues before they escalate.
