We gather and analyze CRA audit correspondence to identify core issues and next steps, prepare supporting schedules and reconciliations for audit defense and clarification, communicate directly with CRA agents to provide documentation and resolve inquiries, and review prior filings to correct inconsistencies and strengthen your audit response strategy.
We file formal Notices of Objection with complete supporting evidence and rationale, prepare appeal submissions and coordinate with CRA appeals officers for resolution, review reassessment details to verify accuracy and identify potential adjustments, and negotiate settlements and repayment terms to minimize penalties and financial exposure.
We prepare taxpayer relief requests for interest and penalty cancellations under CRA policy, review historical filings to detect potential exposure and prevent future disputes, advise on compliance improvements to reduce audit and reassessment risk proactively, and maintain comprehensive documentation to support transparency and CRA readiness.
We start by reviewing everything CRA has sent, whether it's a review letter, audit notice, or reassessment, and assess the scope, timeline, and what's actually at issue. Most taxpayers respond too quickly or without the right documentation. We slow down and assess first.
We gather the supporting documentation, prepare reconciliations and schedules, and draft a complete, well-supported response to CRA. Every position we take is grounded in the Income Tax Act and CRA's own published guidance, so your file is defensible from every angle.
We handle all communication with CRA on your behalf, including submissions, calls, follow-ups, and requests for additional time. You don't speak to CRA directly unless you choose to. We manage the process to protect your position and avoid unintended concessions.
Once the dispute is resolved, we review your filings and systems to identify what triggered the issue and how to prevent it from recurring. Compliance improvements, documentation practices, and proactive filing strategies all reduce the likelihood of future CRA contact.
Whether it's an audit notice, a reassessment, or a collections call, we'll review what you've received, tell you what it means, and take it from there on your behalf.
Book a Free ConsultationDo not respond without professional advice. CRA letters range from routine reviews to formal audits, and responding incorrectly can escalate the matter. Contact us first — we will read the letter and determine the right response before anything is submitted.
A CRA audit verifies that income, deductions, and credits on your return are accurate. They can be conducted by mail, in person, or at your business. We handle the entire process — gathering records, preparing responses, and communicating with the auditor directly.
A Notice of Objection is a formal written dispute of a CRA reassessment. It must be filed within 90 days of the reassessment notice. We prepare and file objections with complete supporting evidence to give you the strongest possible position.
Yes. Under CRA's Taxpayer Relief provisions, interest and penalties may be waived for illness, financial hardship, or CRA errors. Applications must be well-documented and clearly argued. We prepare and submit relief requests on your behalf and follow up through the review process.
CRA selects returns using risk models that flag inconsistencies, large deductions relative to income, unusual claim patterns, or missing slips. Prior audit history and random selection also play a role. Clean, well-documented filings minimize audit exposure from the start.
For most individuals and corporations, CRA has three years from the original assessment to reassess — six years for careless misrepresentation, and indefinitely for fraud. Accurately filed, well-documented returns are far less likely to be successfully challenged.
If CRA upholds the reassessment, you may appeal to the Tax Court of Canada. Many cases settle before a hearing. We work with tax litigation counsel when cases reach that stage and help you assess whether an appeal is worth pursuing.
Yes. Catching up on unfiled returns before CRA initiates contact reduces penalties and interest. We help clients get current in a controlled, strategic way that minimizes exposure and, where possible, uses CRA's Voluntary Disclosures Program.
