If you have received one of these letters, then the clock has started ticking. Generally, you have 30 days to respond to the auditor, and 90 days to file an appeal from the date of the assessment. Do not ignore these timelines, as adverse consequences will follow. Have a professional assist you.
The audit dates and timeline to fight audit determinations are time sensitive! Do not ignore a notice of assessment or notice from the CRA giving you a deadline. Contact us to see how we can help you.
Generally, the CRA must audit a tax year within 3 years of the original notice of assessment. Beware of signing a waiver that allows the CRA to audit outside of this period. If you are provided with a waiver of objection rights from an auditor, do not sign this without speaking with us.
Do not fall into the trap of thinking that the auditor is your friend and sharing with them the details of that trip you took to Hawaii. This is a sure fire way for the auditor to attribute extra income to you. They want to trick you into feeling comfortable and sharing more information than is necessary for the audit. No one deserves the stress of being interviewed during an audit. Let us remove you the auditor tricks from the equation and allow us to handle your audit for you.
