Audit

What You Need to Know About a CRA Audit.

An audit by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is an examination of your books and records, which largely focuses on whether or not your tax returns fully reflect all of the income, revenue, and expenses that should have been reported during the year.

These are some of the most common issues that the CRA will audit:

· Real Estate “flipping”

· HST/GST Builder issues

· Net-worth Assessments (Unreported Income)

· Canada Emergency Wage/Rent Subsidy (“CEWS” & “CERS”)

A tax audit by the CRA is an unwelcome and time-consuming disruption. However, aside from the inconvenience, there are other important factors involved during an audit.

The CRA is looking for unreported income and other areas of non-compliance. If your responses to the auditor are not handled properly, the process can quickly escalate and result in significant financial and personal consequences for you and perhaps even your family.

Their work exceeded my expectations. Could not be happier!
