There is a version of cra requirement-to-pay assistance that runs smoothly and a version that turns into correspondence. The difference is rarely luck; it comes down to details any tax expert handling these files weekly learns to check first.
Ask any tax expert where cra requirement-to-pay assistance files go sideways, and the answer usually traces back to this: The normal reassessment period runs three years from the original notice of assessment for an individual or a CCPC and four years for other corporations. A waiver signed at an auditor’s request removes that limit for the issue it describes, and it stays open until it is revoked.
Pair that with the next rule and most of the confusion around cra requirement-to-pay assistance disappears: Taxpayer relief applications can cancel penalties and interest arising from CRA delay, serious illness or a natural disaster, and the CRA is limited to the ten prior calendar years. Calendars matter more than most people expect in cra requirement-to-pay assistance, and this is the rule that proves it: Collections action can proceed while an objection is outstanding for GST/HST and payroll amounts, which is why a filed objection is not by itself protection against a bank freeze.
Reading rules is one thing; knowing which of them your file actually triggers is another. A tax practitioner closes that gap, and for cra requirement-to-pay assistance the gap is often wider than it looks. Nothing slows a file like missing records, so for cra requirement-to-pay assistance begin with.
Whatever the file involves, the terms do not change: fixed fee agreed up front, review together before filing, payment after the service.

A shareholder assessed on a taxable benefit in Vancouver, British Columbia was profitable and permanently short of cash, with a proposal letter with a 30-day response window and no supporting records assembled behind the gap. Restructuring the tax cycle freed $92,000.
Growth at a professional under a lifestyle audit in Barrie, Ontario had outrun the back office, and an objection deadline that had passed with no extension applied for broke first. Headcount reached 50 with $63,000 of cash freed.
An incentive review at a taxpayer applying for relief from penalties and interest in Regina, Saskatchewan found an audit conducted over the phone, with nothing on file showing what had been provided or when and recovered $130,000 across 7 open years.
The CRA had assessed a company facing a payroll trust examination in Surrey, British Columbia on estimates across 7 unfiled years. Real filings vacated $129,000 of that tax.
A $92,000 reassessment landed at a restaurant under a net-worth audit in Mississauga, Ontario, resting on a net-worth assessment built on unexplained deposits that were actually loan proceeds. The objection was allowed in full.
33 months of records at a taxpayer with frozen bank accounts in Kelowna, British Columbia had never been reconciled, leaving an audit conducted over the phone, with nothing on file showing what had been provided or when. Rebuilding recovered $12,000.

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.
CRA Requirement-to-Pay Assistance 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 are a cloud-based practice serving every province and territory, 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.

The honest starting point is this: The Voluntary Disclosures Program can waive gross-negligence penalties and part of the interest, but only while the CRA has not yet contacted the taxpayer about the issue. Everything else we would tell you is tailoring, and tailoring requires seeing your file.
It depends less on opinion than owners assume. A notice of objection is generally due 90 days from the date of the notice of assessment. Individuals have a further year to apply for an extension; corporations do not get the same latitude. Once you know that, the practical question becomes timing and documentation — both of which we handle inside the engagement.

Sign in to My Account and open the sections for filed returns and notices, where past returns, notices of assessment, slips and carry-forward amounts can be viewed, printed or saved. Without online access, ask the CRA by phone or in writing at the tax centre shown on your notice, or ask whoever prepared the return for their copy. Keep your own records six years from the end of the last tax year they relate to.
A tax rebate usually means the refund on your T1, and for a 2025 return the CRA aims to issue it in about two weeks when you file online. A paper filing runs on a considerably longer standard. Rebates claimed on a separate application, such as a GST/HST rebate for a new home, take longer still because they are handled manually and are often reviewed. Filing online with direct deposit gives the shortest wait.
You can pay through CRA My Business Account or My Payment, through your own financial institution's online banking by adding the CRA GST/HST payment as a payee under your business number, or by pre-authorised debit arranged in My Business Account. Third-party providers accept credit cards for a fee. Payment is due by the deadline for your reporting period, and filing the return does not by itself move the money, so schedule the two separately.
The CRA no longer runs walk-in counters for general tax help, so there is no office you can visit to file or ask questions. Contact is by phone, by mail, or through My Account and My Business Account; in-person help is limited to arranged appointments in specific programs. Mailing addresses differ by centre and by what you are sending, so use the address printed on your CRA letter or on the CRA's website.
No. Filing and paying are legal obligations, not choices. A return is required if you have tax payable, and also whenever the CRA asks you to file. Filing late with a balance owing brings a late-filing penalty that grows for each month the return is outstanding, plus compound interest on the balance. Prolonged non-filing can end in an arbitrary assessment, a wage garnishment or a lien. If you cannot pay, still file on time and arrange payment terms.
Call the CRA enquiries line for your situation, whether individual, benefits, business or collections, from the contact page on canada.ca, then work through the automated menu to reach an agent. Have your social insurance or business number, your address and a figure from a recently assessed return ready, because the agent cannot discuss the account without them. Early morning is usually quieter. To have someone speak for you, file an authorisation such as the AUT-01 first.
No. While your taxable revenue stays under the $30,000 small-supplier threshold for 2026, unchanged from 2025, you are not required to register for GST/HST or charge it. The threshold is tested over four consecutive calendar quarters or within a single quarter, and crossing it in one quarter ends small-supplier status on the sale that takes you over. You may still register voluntarily so you can claim input tax credits on your costs.
Yes. Toilet paper is an ordinary household product, not a basic grocery, so GST/HST applies at the rate for the province of purchase: 5% GST in Alberta, 13% HST in Ontario, 15% in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island, and 14% in Nova Scotia from 1 April 2025. Provincial sales tax may apply on top in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec.
For an unincorporated business the 2025 return was due 15 June 2026 because of self-employment, but any balance owing had to be paid by 30 April 2026. For an incorporated business the T2 return is due six months after the fiscal year end, with the balance due two months after year end, or three months for an eligible Canadian-controlled private corporation claiming the small business deduction. GST/HST returns and payroll remittances run on their own separate schedules.
Child care expenses are normally claimed by the parent with the lower net income, even where the other parent paid them. Exceptions let the higher-income parent claim when the lower-income parent was in school, in hospital, confined, or the couple lived apart at year end because the relationship broke down. Separated parents each claim what they personally paid for the period the child lived with them. Keep receipts naming the provider and their number.
Mostly by claiming what the law already allows: deducting genuine business expenses, taking capital cost allowance on equipment and buildings, carrying losses to other years, and paying the small business rate on active income. A Canadian-controlled private corporation pays the federal small business rate of 9% on its first $500,000 of active business income for 2026, against a federal general net rate of 15%. Multinationals also choose where profit is reported, which transfer-pricing rules police.
Not by rate, but often by amount. Municipal property tax is the assessed value multiplied by the rate council sets, and that rate is the same for comparable properties in the same class whatever the age of the house. A new build usually carries a higher assessment than an older comparable home, so the bill is larger. New owners also often receive a supplementary bill once the assessment authority values the finished house. Property tax is municipal, not CRA-administered.
