What it is
The Canada Revenue Agency conducts thousands of reviews and audits every year, ranging from simple letter requests for documentation to full corporate tax audits spanning multiple tax years. Most are routine. Some escalate. The outcome depends heavily on how the first response is handled.
Common triggers include unusual deductions, mismatch between T4s and personal returns from your payroll filings, GST/HST refund claims, foreign property reporting (T1135), and statistical anomalies in your industry. Sometimes the trigger is just random selection.
When you respond well, the issue closes quickly with no adjustment. When you respond poorly, the auditor may expand the scope, and what could have been a quick close turns into a longer engagement with broader implications. Having professional representation from the first letter usually can change the trajectory.
When the CRA comes calling, we follow a structured process that protects you, addresses the request, and gets you to resolution.
Reading the CRA's actual request carefully, separating what they need from what they don't, and identifying the underlying concern.
Pulling the right records from your bookkeeping, tax filings, and supporting documentation, packaged for the CRA.
Drafted in the right tone, addressing the specific request without volunteering information that creates new exposure.
Phone calls and follow-ups handled by us. You're informed of what's happening but not on the front line, freeing you to keep running your business while we work the case.
We work the case until you receive written confirmation of closure, with any adjustments clearly explained. As long as the case is within CRA channels, reassessment, review, audit, or objection, we can represent you.
Whether you have just received a letter or you are already in the middle of a reassessment, this service applies in a few common situations.
Whether it's a simple please-send-us-X note or a full audit notice. Don't wait, the response window is usually 30 days.
If we already handle your bookkeeping, corporate tax, or GST/HST for the year being reviewed, CRA support for that year is part of what we already do for you. The documentation is already organized, the filings are already in our records, and we can respond fast.
The CRA already issued a decision, and you disagree with it. Filing a Notice of Objection has strict deadlines (90 days from the reassessment date) and the response needs to be technically sound. We prepare the objection, build the documentation, and represent you through the review.
If you've spotted an error in past filings, or have unreported income or foreign assets from prior years, acting before the CRA does usually reduces penalties and interest. We handle adjustments through T1-ADJ or corporate amendments, and where it fits, submissions under the Voluntary Disclosures Program (VDP), with the technical care these cases need.
