What We Offer
CRA will target individuals and businesses for proof of claims or income. Let us advocate for you to keep the trouble at bay.
For the most typical smaller reviews and audits which take under an hour to complete, we include this service for free if we completed your personal or corporate income tax return, GST or PST return. Normal hourly charges apply after the first hour.
-
Usually happening in the off-season for taxes from August to November, CRA conducts reviews for receipts and documentation from both a random and targeted risk group to validate income and deductions. These commonly include medical, employment expenses, union dues, vehicle expenses, northern residence deduction, etc.
CRA demands a very quick turnaround time, usually 30 days, which sometimes get reduced by the delay in mailing.
Our quick handling of the service means that this minimizes your case being closed and seeing a larger tax bill.
-
Sometimes before refunds are issued after filing a GST return, the CRA may review your books and records to ensure that the tax was collected and calculated properly, and that the GST/HST paid on expenses were actually paid.
Industries like farming, fishing, or interlining truckers can be especially vulnerable to these audits since often no tax is collected on sales.
Additionally, one-off GST refunds occuring from buying capital expenses like vehicles or equipment also make it more likely to be targeted.
We can work with you and assemble and send to CRA on your behalf the documents they require, taking the stress off and giving you piece of mind.
-
Income tax returns can be changed for the current year and up to the previous 9 years should it be determined later on finding information which might lower your income tax balance or increase your refund.
Generally most changes we can file on your behalf electronically and submit the supporting documentation to more quickly validate your claim.
-
While the vast majority of examinations are done by surface level reviews rather than audits, sometimes a more thorough examination will need to be done by a CRA auditor on your business site.
We’ll liase with you to make the audit process as quick and painless as possible.
