CRA TAX AUDITS

  • Tax Audits

    In Canada Tax audit procedures are designed to ensure the Canadian tax system is fair and balanced and that all Canadians filing their taxes are following current tax laws and receiving their entitled benefits and refunds.

    CRA tax audits in Canada will assess your previous personal or professional tax filings, to determine if there are any discrepancies. Personal income tax audits may include reviewing bank statements, mortgage documents, and credit card statements, while business audits typically involve invoices, employee payroll information, GST/HST, and any business-related statements.

  • During a CRA Tax Audit

    When a tax audit in Canada is initiated by the CRA, an auditor is assigned to your case to review all personal or professional records or the records of another party that is not under investigation, including spouses and children.

    Your auditor will contact you by phone or mail with the time, date, and location of the audit. In some cases, tax audits in Canada are completed on-site at your residence or place of business, while others will take place off-site at a CRA office. During this time, your auditor may ask for copies of physical or electronic documents pertaining to invoices, receipts, bank statements and other relevant information.

    Once a CRA tax audit in Canada is complete, there are two potential outcomes — reassessment and no reassessment. Reassessment means there are additional taxes that must be paid, or you’re entitled to a refund, and you’re presented with a letter detailing the results, which you can agree or disagree with within 30 days. No reassessment is announced when an auditor determines there are no discrepancies in the original filings, and no further action is required. When faced with a tax audit, Faris CPA is well equipped to assist you, removing the need for a tax lawyer.

  • Tax Audit Updates

    2021: As part of the 2021 budget, the federal government proposed amendments to section 231.1 of the Income Tax Act to broaden the CRA’s powers during a tax audit.

    2022: The aforementioned amendments proposed in 2021 were enacted in Bill C-32 and came into effect on December 15, 2022.

    With these changes, CRA auditors can now compel anyone to answer, “all proper questions” and provide “all reasonable assistance”. Further amendments in subsections 231.1(1)(d)(i), also allow the CRA to require that the person attend “any place designated by the CRA” or any other form of electronic communication to undergo oral questioning.

    Prior to these amendments, taxpayers were generally speaking: the only ones subject to questions, could answer them in writing, were provided questions in advance, and had to give consent for other parties (e.g., employees or advisors) to be interviewed by the CRA.

    The changes to the ITA now empower the CRA to compel taxpayers and anyone else related to the matter to be orally interviewed – making it necessary to have professional representation during a CRA audit.

    2024: As of 2024, the CRA has not updated tax audit regulations and processes. That said, however, there have been some important tax reporting updates to be aware of to help avoid triggering audits:

    • If you do not pay taxes owing by the deadline of April 30, 2024, for the 2023 tax year, you will be charged a compounding daily interest rate of 10% of taxes owing, plus an additional 2% for every full month of non-payment to a maximum of 20 months.
    • If you file your taxes late and have a balance owing, the late-filing penalty is 5% of your 2023 balance owing, plus an additional 1% for each full month that you file after the due date, to a maximum of 12 months.
    • You will not be eligible to claim the $500 COVID work-from-home expenditure for the 2023 tax year. In addition, the Canada Worker Lockdown Benefit (CWLB), which provided short-term financial assistance during the pandemic, expired in 2022 and is not eligible for deduction from taxes in 2023. The Ontario Staycation Tax Credit was only available for the 2022 tax year; it was not extended to the 2023 tax year.
    • In response to rising inflation, the federal government has adjusted its tax brackets for the 2023 tax year. Here are the new brackets and corresponding personal tax rates:
      • Income range: $0 to $53,359 (15%)
      • From $53,359 to $106,717 (20.5%)
      • From $106,717 to $165,430 (26%)
      • From $165,430 to $235,675 (29%)
      • $235,675 or more (33%)

    Visit the Government of Canada website to stay up-to-date on these and all other tax changes, remain compliant in your tax reporting, and avoid a CRA tax audit.

 

Faris CPA’s clients rest confident that they will receive what they are entitled to from CRA and not pay a penny more than legally required.

TAX AUDIT CASE STUDY

A new client of ours had been audited by the CRA. It was discovered that their previous accountant had made many errors and had made many adjustments to their tax records. This company needed someone who could fix their books, records and amend 3 years worth of personal and corporate tax returns.

Our firm took over the file and started working on their books from the beginning. Corrections were made throughout the company’s books and records. Corrections were also applied to 3 years worth of personal and corporate tax returns. These adjustments were submitted to the CRA and the results were very favourable for our client.

This client has continued to use our firm for handling their business and personal financial affairs.

“Sam is a solid character with high standards and ethics which make his firm excellent.”

FAQS

What is a CRA tax audit?

CRA tax audits are carried out by an auditor that has been assigned to examine your file. Using historical data, the CRA is able to determine who is most likely not to be fully compliant, either because of common errors or deliberate acts of tax avoidance. During the audit, your financial statements and records are examined with the aim of checking whether you have paid the correct level of tax.

I’m being audited by the CRA. How do I stop the audit?

Once an audit is started you cannot stop it. You can hire a Certified Professional Accountant who specializes in tax problems and who can ensure your rights are protected and that any taxes and/or penalties can be minimized.

How can a tax audit professional help me?

No one wants to be the recipient of an audit by the CRA, but it’s far worse if you don’t get a CRA tax audit specialist to provide assistance. Your accounting specialist can help you prepare all the necessary paperwork and to navigate this situation so that you feel as comfortable as possible and know all avenues available to you as the audit unfolds.

Dealing with CRA tax audits in Canada is incredibly stressful and can end up being very expensive. A professional accountant can help you through this process by saving you time, money, and giving you peace of mind. A tax audit professional can help by getting audited financial statements organized and reviewing them, which can help you win your case against the CRA.

What happens when you get audited by the CRA?

When you get audited by the CRA, you send the records asked for to the auditor. They use them as well as bank and other financial statements to assess whether you have paid the right amount of tax. Sometimes they will also access the financial records of individuals you are close to, such as a spouse. Provided everything is as it should be, you will receive a completion letter. If not, you will receive a proposal letter.

What is the tax audit process

You will be notified if your tax record has been selected for an audit. You will be informed by phone, through the mail, or through both, about the date and location. 

During a tax audit in Canada, the CRA assigns an auditor to your case. They then tell you which records to send them. Your auditor will also be able to access information relating to your bank accounts, credit card statements, tax records and other relevant information. They may also access the financial records of people you are connected to financially or close to, for example trustees. Once your auditor has checked everything, they will tell you the outcome of their audit.

An on-site audit will usually take place at your personal residence. It is best to be as organized as possible when this is scheduled and have all your paperwork set up to go since this will make the process faster. 

Having a tax audit assistance professional help you sort through this information is key to protecting your interests. Electronic copies of your paperwork might be made; if any of your documents are taken you should get a receipt for these. Auditors cannot receive information from you over email, but there are possible secure options for you online.

What are the red flags that might cause the CRA to audit me?

Some of the issues that flag agents are revenue discrepancies, recurring losses, there are major changes from the previous year, what you’re reporting does not match what the CRA is getting from third parties, and more. It can be difficult to tell which issues prompted auditors to look more closely at your file.

What are my options when faced with a CRA audit?

One of the options someone has when they are faced with a CRA audit is they can challenge the audit. You need to have strong evidence in your favour and the support of an experienced professional tax audit assistance team to navigate challenges like this. You also have the right to appeal the outcome of an audit.

Can I challenge a net worth audit?

The CRA can perform a net worth audit to determine what they believe your underreported income is. Challenging a net worth audit should be done by a professional who has in depth understanding in this type of audit, strong analytical skills and who has disputed this type of audit with CRA for many years in order to minimize any taxes that CRA is asking you to pay.

What can I do to reduce the chance of being audited by the CRA?

Using a tax audit professional early on helps you ensure that your returns and information are being sent in properly. Having a CRA audit lawyer at your side who does audit assistance is also helpful since this person will likely challenge what the CRA is saying.

Filing all your income tax returns on time is another way to show compliance with the tax laws and minimize your chances of an audit in the future. Since anyone can be subject to a tax return audit, it’s worth having help at your side just in case.

If you are audited by the CRA, having easily accessible books, and documents to support your claims will make it easier to show that you submitted the accurate information to begin with. The CRA is looking for discrepancies, and showing that you have kept things orderly and supported by outside professionals makes it easier to broach this process.

How long does an audit take?

An audit can take anywhere from a few weeks to months or even years, depending on the complexity of the information involved. Being organized on your end can make the process go faster, but there will also be delays if you challenge what the CRA says.

Does the CRA review every tax return?

While the CRA does process every tax return, this does not mean they audit every tax return. Due to this, you should always be aware of the potential to be audited by the CRA.

Can you negotiate with CRA?

In some cases, you can appeal to what the CRA says. However, you need a savvy tax audit professional at your side to help you determine when there are other options available to you and how you can use them.

I interviewed 5 CPA firms before hiring Mr. Faris. During the initial assessment he was able to identify a huge mistake that CRA has done. He was able to perfectly communicate this mistake with me and explained how this mistake should be corrected. Mr. Faris assured me that the CRA will have to correct this mistake which will result in saving huge amount of taxes and penalties and interest. Mr. Faris worked around the clock including weekends to meet the pressing deadline. In summary, he met all his promises and of course did not disappoint me. All these sleepless nights worrying about the CRA are gone now and of course thanks to Mr. Faris who has changed my mind about the accounting and the tax profession forever.

I had a consultation with Mr. Fares last week and explained my issue with the CRA. Sam provided a great advice. Further he recommended not to hire a professional and pay money while he thought that I can handle the issues on my own. Obviously he looked at my best interest rather than to pay him more unnecessary fee. He is reliable and trustworthy and I would recommend him to anyone in need for this kind of services.

Sam of Faris CPA is an expert with CRA issues. I have waisted significant amount of money by hiring other professionals who never delivered. Sam’s promises are solid and he never disappointed me. Sam’s work quality exceeds expectations. Many thanks Sam and I will absolutely recommend your service to family and friends.
Before hiring Faris CPA, I shopped around and I hired a CPA firm who offered significantly cheaper fee than Faris CPA. I must admit that this was a mistake. That firm promised the moon and they did not deliver. I learned by accident that the firm outsourced my file to a firm in India. I was very upset as I did not consent to have my returns done in India. I lost trust in the firm as the firm mislead me by making me believe that my file is being handled properly and efficiently by CPAs who are knowledgeable in Canadian taxes. I had to fire them immediately and hired Faris CPA. Sam Faris and his team dealt with my case efficiently and on timely basis. As a result, my many years of outstanding personal and corporate tax returns have been filed as promised. The taxes that I ended up owing are way less than what I expected. Sam Faris and his team performed a good tax planning strategy which saved me taxes. Faris CPA fee is very reasonable considering the quality of work that has been delivered and the tax saving that was achieved.Don’t hire a firm who provides cheaper fee as you will end up paying twice. In my situation, I ended up paying to a firm who outsourced my file to India and I came back and hired Faris to complete the job properly. Save your money, time and emotions and hire Faris CPA and they will get the job done to your satisfaction.
