HOW WE HELP
Compare the notice with the actual records.
The CRA can assess tax when a required return has not been filed. The amount on that notice needs to be considered alongside your actual income and records. We help review the notice and discuss the filing or response work needed.
01
Understand the notice
Identify the tax year, amount assessed and correspondence that led to the assessment.
02
Prepare missing information
Gather the records needed to establish the actual tax position and address unfiled returns.
03
Review response options
Discuss the filing, objection or other steps that may apply, including relevant dates.
What to have ready.
- The assessment and any demand-to-file letters
- Records for the tax years involved
- Any return or response already submitted

FAQS
Common questions.
Can the CRA assess tax without my return?
Yes. The CRA can issue an assessment where a required return has not been filed.
Does filing automatically resolve the notice?
Do not assume that it does. The assessment, missing return and applicable response process need to be reviewed together.
Can the balance be reduced?
That depends on the actual records and the CRA’s review. No reduction can be promised before the facts are assessed.
