Frequently Asked Questions

We work with clients in every province and territory, almost entirely remotely

Do not ignore it, and do not respond without professional advice. CRA audits have strict deadlines and specific documentation requirements. Contact The Tax Whiz as soon as you receive any CRA correspondence. We’ll review the notice, explain your rights, and take over the response process.

A Notice of Objection is the formal mechanism for challenging a CRA assessment you believe is incorrect. For most taxpayers, you have 90 days from the date of the Notice of Assessment to file, or one year from the filing due date, whichever is later. Missing this deadline can result in the loss of your right to object. The Tax Whiz helps Toronto clients file timely, strategically sound objections.

Yes, and the sooner you act, the better your options will be. Canada’s Voluntary Disclosure Program allows eligible taxpayers to correct past compliance failures proactively, potentially avoiding penalties. If the CRA contacts you first, your options narrow significantly. We guide Toronto clients through the VDP process to achieve the best possible outcome.

The CRA’s Taxpayer Relief Program allows penalties and interest to be cancelled or waived in situations where extraordinary circumstances, such as serious illness, financial hardship, or CRA error, prevented compliance. The Tax Whiz prepares and submits relief applications for Toronto clients, documenting the circumstances and maximizing the likelihood of a successful outcome.

Timelines vary significantly depending on the type and complexity of the dispute. Simple audit reviews may be resolved in weeks, while formal objections can take 12 to 24 months for the CRA to process. We keep our Toronto clients informed throughout and pursue every available avenue to achieve resolution as efficiently as possible.
