CRA Tax Reviews And Audits

Canada Revenue Agency: a name enough to give you enough troubles and headaches. Individuals and businesses most likely want to avoid an official review and/or audit letter from this organization.

Are you keeping your accounting and financial data up to date? Are you filing your personal or corporate taxes on time? Are you claiming your tax-benefits? CRA oversees taxes, tax-benefits, and tax-programs for Canadians.

By employing a professional accounting and tax service provider, individuals and businesses can keep their interests aligned with CRA, while taking maximum tax-benefits.

Tax audit & Tax reviews

During a tax review, the CRA may request additional information or clarification regarding certain aspects of a taxpayer’s tax return. During an audit, auditors may conduct interviews, review financial documents, and perform detailed examinations of the taxpayer’s books and records to assess compliance with tax laws.
