Please Don't Ignore CRA Letters
If you receive a letter from CRA, read it to see if CRA is requesting information, adjusting your taxes or confirming what you filed. If you don't understand what the letter is saying, bring it into our office and we would be happy to help you.
Prevent Additional Tax Charges
From July to November, you may receive a letter from CRA requesting more information from your tax return. If you receive a letter, please bring it into our office PROMPTLY so we can respond. If we don't respond within 30 days, CRA will adjust your tax return and you will have a balance owing.
Avoid Making Payments Twice to Government
If you have received a GST or Income Tax notice of assessment that you thought was paid, it may be. Your return is e-filed and reaches CRA almost immediately, whereas your payment takes time to process. That means the bill was likely mailed before your payment was applied. Please verify that the amount is paid before attempting to pay again.
Source Deduction Forms - Credit Balance
Note that a source deductions form with a credit balance (marked as 'CR' as shown below) does not need to be paid to CRA. A credit amount shows what you have already paid in for source deductions for prior months.
