CRA representation

CRA reviews, audits and representation in Calgary

A review letter is not an accusation, but it has a deadline, and what you send in the first reply decides how long the file stays open.

Post-assessing and processing reviews

The routine letters asking you to support a deduction or a credit. We answer every point raised, including the ones that don't apply and why — partial answers are the main reason a review comes back a second time.

GST and payroll desk reviews

Where CRA wants invoice listings, sales samples and an item-by-item breakdown of input tax credits across several periods.

Audits

Field or office. We handle the correspondence, sit in the meetings, and keep the scope to what was actually asked for.

Notices of Objection

Filed inside the 90-day window. Missing that window narrows your options considerably, so bring us the assessment early rather than late.

Taxpayer relief and voluntary disclosures

Requests to cancel penalties and interest, and disclosures made before CRA comes asking.

Collections

Payment arrangements negotiated before a garnishment or a lien, and holds requested while a dispute is live.

Common questions

CRA has sent me a letter. What should I do first?

Send it to us before you reply, and note the deadline printed on it. Knowing which letter it is changes the answer entirely, and the first response matters more than anything that follows.

Do I have to deal with CRA myself?

No. Once the authorization is processed we are the representative on record, correspondence comes to us, and we deal with the agent directly.

Does being audited mean I did something wrong?

Usually not. A large share of reviews are routine verification, selected by system rather than suspicion. How the file is handled matters more than why it opened.

Talk to us before you commit to anything

Thirty minutes, no charge, and a straight answer on whether we're the right fit — including when we're not. You'll have the scope and the fee in writing before any work starts.
