CRA assessments can be intimidating. In many cases, they involve tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars and arrive with little explanation beyond a reassessment notice.

What many Canadians don’t realize is that:

• CRA assessments are often based on assumptions, incomplete information, or misapplied tax rules
• The initial amount assessed is not always the amount ultimately owed
• With proper analysis, documentation, and representation, assessments can often be reduced, corrected, or withdrawn

Below are real examples of Canadians we’ve helped resolve serious CRA reassessments.

Case Study 1:

Rick was told he owed $125,000 in personal taxes and $150,000 in HST.

Case Study 2:

Tony was told he owed CRA $36,000…

What these cases have in common

Across these files, the pattern is consistent:

• CRA often assesses based on assumptions, not full facts
• Initial reassessment amounts are frequently overstated
• Proper technical analysis and documentation change outcomes

Our role is not to “fight CRA,” but to:

• Identify where the law or facts were misapplied
• Present evidence clearly and professionally
• Resolve matters at the lowest possible level whenever feasible

Important note on outcomes

Every CRA file is different. Results depend on facts, documentation, timing, and the specific issues involved. Past outcomes do not guarantee future results.

What we do guarantee is:

• A rigorous review of your assessment
• Honest advice about what is and isn’t defensible
• Direct experience dealing with CRA objections and reassessments

Received a CRA reassessment?

If CRA says you owe more tax, penalties, or interest, the assessment may not be final.

We help Canadians:

• Understand what CRA is actually alleging
• Determine whether the assessment is correct
• Respond strategically, not emotionally
