CRA reviews are won on documentation: every figure filed should trace to a source document, and deadlines — 90 days for an objection — are unforgiving. A notice of objection is generally due 90 days from the notice of assessment, and individuals have a further year to apply for an extension. Our charity and npo audit support engagement is priced as a economical flat fee, so the cost is known before the work starts.
A few notes from the files we actually work on, because charity and npo audit support is decided by details that never make it into a brochure.
Start with the rule that decides most files: A registered charity can devote its resources to its own charitable activities and to gifts to qualified donees. Funding an organisation that is not a qualified donee is possible only as a grant that meets the accountability requirements. That means written terms, reporting and a right to recover unspent funds.
There is a companion rule that changes how the first one plays out in practice: A charity must meet its disbursement quota each year based on the value of property not used in charitable activities. A shortfall has to be made up or explained. Calendars matter more than most people expect in charity and npo audit support, and this is the rule that proves it: Donation receipts must contain every element prescribed by the regulations. A receipt missing the registration number or the CRA website address is invalid, and the CRA can penalise the charity for issuing it.
None of this is exotic — but each point has to be applied to your facts, which is exactly what you are paying a tax practitioner to do. The smoothest files are the ones where the client arrives with these records already assembled.
No surprises is the operating principle: the fee is agreed and fixed before we start, you review everything before it is filed, and payment comes after the work, not before.

A religious congregation in Vancouver, British Columbia was overpaying instalments. The cause was a T3010 filed eleven months after year-end for the third year running. Rebasing them returned $75,000 to the business.
A religious congregation in Vancouver, British Columbia was paying instalments calculated on a prior year. That year no longer reflected the business. A T3010 filed eleven months after year-end for the third year running was tying up $75,000 of cash. We rebased the instalments on the current-year estimate rather than the prior-year default. Alongside that, we brought the T3010 filings current, corrected the prior-year schedules, and set an internal deadline 90 days after year-end so the filing stopped being late. $75,000 of cash stayed in the business, the penalty cycle ended, and the instalment position is reviewed each quarter against actual results.
A non-profit that has never filed an information return in Hamilton, Ontario faced a $66,000 proposed reassessment. It came after restricted grant funds recognised as revenue in the year received rather than as spent. We rebuilt the documentation and the adjustment was withdrawn in full.
A non-profit that has never filed an information return in Hamilton, Ontario received a proposal letter opening a review of charity and NPO audit support. The CRA had identified restricted grant funds recognised as revenue in the year received rather than as spent. It proposed an adjustment of $66,000, with 30 days to respond. We treated the response as an evidence exercise rather than an argument. We papered the grant with written accountability terms, reporting milestones and a right to recover anything unspent. We then indexed every supporting document against the specific line the auditor had questioned. The proposed adjustment was withdrawn in full — all $66,000 of it. The file closed in 5 weeks with no change to the assessed amounts and no penalty.
7 years of returns were outstanding at a professional member association in Burnaby, British Columbia. That came on top of program funds granted to a group that was not a qualified donee, with nothing on file about how the money was to be used. Filing on real numbers removed $64,000 of assessed tax.
A professional member association in Burnaby, British Columbia had not filed for 7 years. The CRA had issued arbitrary assessments. The business was carrying program funds granted to a group that was not a qualified donee, with nothing on file about how the money was to be used. That came on top of a growing interest balance. We started with the oldest year and worked forward so each year's closing balances fed the next. We reissued compliant donation receipts and rebuilt the receipting template against the regulation requirements. We filed the years in sequence rather than all at once. Every year is now filed and assessed on actual figures. The notional assessments were vacated and $64,000 of the estimated balance came off, with a payment arrangement covering the rest.
An 11-week rebuild at a public service body absorbing sales tax on its purchases in Victoria, British Columbia got the filing in with 15 days to spare. That avoided $96,000 in penalties.
A public service body absorbing sales tax on its purchases in Victoria, British Columbia was weeks away from the deadline for charity and NPO audit support. Behind that sat GST/HST paid on everything with no public service body rebate ever claimed. The exposure if the date slipped was around $96,000. We separated the charitable program activity from the revenue-generating activity in the accounts, so each was reported on the schedule it belonged in. The filing went in complete rather than provisional, so there was no amended return to follow. Filed with 15 days to spare. $96,000 in late-filing penalties avoided, and the working papers are ready for the following year.
A food bank with donated inventory in Guelph, Ontario was filing correctly and still overpaying. The reason was a disbursement quota shortfall discovered during a CRA charity audit. Restructuring the position cut $17,500 from the annual bill.
A food bank with donated inventory in Guelph, Ontario was compliant but paying more than it needed to. The prior year had been filed correctly. It still left a disbursement quota shortfall discovered during a CRA charity audit on the table. We modelled the current position against the alternatives before changing anything. Then we stopped the receipting immediately and wrote to donors setting out which contributions were and were not eligible for a credit. The change saved $17,500 in the first year and repeats annually. Nothing about the filings became more aggressive. The position is simply the one the rules already allowed.
A charity operating a related business activity in Mississauga, Ontario had never tested its work against the eligibility rules. The resulting $79,000 claim was accepted without adjustment.
A charity operating a related business activity in Mississauga, Ontario assumed the credits did not apply to a business its size. Surplus accumulating year after year with no resolution recording what it was being held for meant they had applied all along. We identified the qualifying activity and built the documentation to support it. Then we calculated and claimed the public service body rebate for every open period, recovering tax the organisation had been absorbing. $79,000 recovered. Because the eligibility analysis is on file, the same claim can be repeated each year with a fraction of the effort.

Same fixed fees in every province. Find your city or your sector.
Direct answers to what Canadian business owners actually ask before hiring an accountant.
Charity and NPO Audit Support starts at a fixed fee quoted before any work begins. The quote is locked at the outset and does not change mid-engagement, and you pay only after you have reviewed and approved the deliverable. Compare every plan on our transparent pricing page.
At minimum: prior-year returns and notices of assessment, your bank and credit-card statements for the fiscal period, payroll records if you have employees, and GST/HST filings. We send a checklist tailored to your situation after the free 15-minute call.
Most engagements are completed within 3 to 5 business days once your documents are complete. Catch-up work covering multiple years takes longer, and we tell you the realistic timeline before you commit rather than after.
We respond on your behalf at no extra charge for any return we prepared. Every figure we file is supported by documentation retained in your file, which is what turns a CRA review from a crisis into correspondence. See how our CRA audit representation works.
Yes. Late filing penalties compound at 5% of the balance owing plus 1% per month, so the cost of waiting is real. We prioritise catch-up work and, where eligible, file under the CRA's Voluntary Disclosures Program to reduce penalties.
Yes. We serve clients in every province and territory at the same fixed fees, so your location does not change the price or the service. Browse our coverage across Canada to find your city.
We work across construction, healthcare, e-commerce, professional services, restaurants, real estate, transportation, technology and non-profits, each with its own deduction profile and CRA scrutiny patterns. See all industries we serve.
Software applies the rules you already know about. An experienced tax accountant finds the ones you do not: capital cost allowance timing, the small business deduction threshold, shareholder loan repayment rules, and TOSI exposure on family dividends. The fee is usually smaller than the deductions it surfaces.

Here is what the rules actually say, stripped of the folklore: The late-filing penalty is 5% of the balance owing plus 1% for each full month late, to a maximum of twelve months. A second late filing within three years doubles both figures. The penalty is calculated on the balance owing, so a late return with nothing owing costs nothing — which is why filing on time matters even when you cannot pay. Our role as your accounting firm is to apply that cleanly to your situation rather than to a hypothetical one.
It depends less on opinion than owners assume. The CRA requires business records to be kept for six years from the end of the tax year they relate to, in a form that allows the return to be verified. Where records cannot support the return, the CRA is entitled to assess on its own estimate — and the burden of disproving that estimate falls on the taxpayer. Once you know that, the practical question becomes timing and documentation — both of which we handle inside the engagement.

HST combines the 5% federal GST with a provincial component in five participating provinces. For 2026 the combined rates are 13% in Ontario, 15% in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island, and 14% in Nova Scotia since 1 April 2025. Elsewhere you charge the 5% GST alone, or GST plus a separate provincial tax. The rate follows the province of supply, not where your business sits.
For the 2025 tax year the filing and payment deadline is 30 April 2026. If you or your spouse were self-employed, the filing deadline moves to 15 June 2026, but any balance owing is still due 30 April 2026. Interest starts the day after the payment deadline, and a late-filing penalty applies on top when a return with a balance owing is filed late. File on time even with nothing owing, because income-tested benefits are recalculated from the filed return.
Most people pay through online or telephone banking, adding the CRA as a payee and choosing the exact account and year, such as a personal balance owing or an instalment. The alternatives are CRA My Payment with a debit card, pre-authorised debit scheduled in My Account, a credit card or e-transfer through a third-party provider that charges its own fee, or paying at your bank with a remittance voucher. For the 2025 tax year the balance was due 30 April 2026.
There is no single rate. Federal personal income tax for 2026 runs through five brackets: 14%, then 20.5%, 26%, 29% and 33% on the highest band, and your province's brackets stack on top, so your combined marginal rate is the federal rate plus the provincial one. The 2026 federal basic personal amount is $16,452, tapering to $14,829 as net income rises from $181,440 to $258,482. Capital gains and Canadian dividends are taxed on a different basis.
Sign in to CRA My Account and open the tax returns section, which lists your assessed returns, notices of assessment and reassessment, and carry-forward amounts for earlier years. You can also download a proof of income statement, request a copy by phone, or ask whoever prepared the return for you. Keep your own copy and the supporting records for six years from the end of the tax year they relate to.
Rent paid is not deductible on the federal return. Relief comes instead through provincial credits claimed on the provincial form filed with your T1, such as Ontario's energy and property tax credit, Manitoba's renters credit and Quebec's solidarity tax credit, each with its own residency and income tests. Rent is deductible only as a business or employment cost: the work-space-in-the-home share on a T2125, or with an employer-signed form where an employee is required to work from home.
Treatment turns on whether the activity is investing or a business. Occasional trades in gold, oil or a commodity ETF held for appreciation are usually capital, so one-half of the gain is taxable for 2025 and 2026. Frequent, leveraged, short-horizon trading, or trading tied to your own business, is more likely fully taxable business income, with losses fully deductible. Physical bullion sales, futures and hedges each have their own treatment, so document your intention from the start.
E-books are taxable. GST at 5% applies, with HST or provincial sales tax added according to the buyer's province, and non-resident digital sellers must register and charge tax on sales to Canadian consumers. The point-of-sale rebate that removes the provincial part of the HST on printed books does not extend to digital editions, so an e-book can carry more tax than the paperback. Check the CRA's guidance on books and digital products before pricing.
Filing is required whenever tax is owing, and retirees are usually better off filing even with nothing to pay. The return is what calculates the GST/HST credit, the Guaranteed Income Supplement, provincial credits and the age and pension amounts, and it is where pension income splitting is elected. Filing on time also keeps income-tested payments flowing without interruption. For the 2025 tax year the deadline was 30 April 2026.
A T4E is the slip Service Canada issues for Employment Insurance and certain related benefits. It shows the total benefits paid, income tax already withheld, any benefits you had to repay and any benefit repayment required because of your income level. Report the amounts on your personal return on the line for Employment Insurance and other benefits, not on the employment income line — EI benefits are taxable but they are not employment income. Keep the slip even where no tax was withheld, because the benefits remain taxable and the CRA already holds a copy.
Canada has no general dependant exemption of the kind used in the United States, but you may claim the spouse or common-law partner amount where you supported a partner with low net income. The credit is reduced dollar for dollar by that partner's net income and disappears once it passes the threshold for the year, so both returns should be prepared together. A partner with an impairment may also qualify you for the Canada caregiver amount.
Have each new employee complete federal and provincial TD1 forms, then use the CRA payroll deductions online calculator or payroll software to work out income tax, CPP and EI for every pay period; a Quebec employee also needs Revenu Québec's calculator for Quebec provincial tax, QPP and QPIP, remitted to Revenu Québec and reported on an RL-1 alongside the T4. Remit the employee withholding together with the employer share by your assigned remitter due date, and report the totals on T4 slips after the calendar year ends. Late or short remittances attract penalties and interest.
