The manufacturing sector is a vital part of the Canadian economy. In 2015, it accounted for $174 million of Canada’s GDP and provided more than two million jobs. Employees in the manufacturing sector are engaged either in manufacturing activities or in auxiliary activities. There could be different tax consequences based on the nature of the employees activities.

Case Study
A new client had a difficult CRA audit that disallowed an HST refund valued at almost one million dollars. The CRA audit revealed that his previous accountant had made significant errors which resulted in the disallowing of the HST refund valued at approximately 1 million dollars.
He was referred to our firm by another client of ours.
We performed an intensive review of the proposal letter from the CRA along with the income tax act. We were convinced that the case would be won if the records were corrected and a new argument was submitted as a replace to the proposal letter from the CRA.
The CRA auditor denied the response. Our firm filed a Notice of Objection to the CRA.
The Notice of Objection was successful, and our client was able to recover, not only the original refund, but there were additional amounts that the previous accounted had missed that were awarded to our client as well.
