Representation on CRA audits

While the Income Tax Act is written in black and white, many audit issues are not necessarily clear‐cut. When you involve us in your tax planning or tax return process, you reduce your likelihood of a tax audit and can increase the opportunity for a positive outcome if you do get audited.

 

Once an audit is in process, having our professionals on your side can serve to reduce tensions and encourage a reasonable exchange with CRA officials.

Sales tax and other tax compliance and planning

Many businesses are required to collect and remit GST/HST and, in some cases, PST and the rules can be complicated.
