CRA Correspondence & Support
When the CRA writes, you don't have to face it alone — or answer it unprepared.
A measured response to every CRA letter
A letter from the CRA is rarely welcome — but most contact is routine. Processing reviews, matching letters, and requests for receipts resolve cleanly when the response is complete, organized, and on time. Problems grow when letters are ignored, deadlines slip, or answers are improvised.
As your authorized representative, we receive and review CRA correspondence, determine what is actually being asked, and respond with documentation that addresses the question directly. You are informed at every step, but you are no longer the one drafting replies to an auditor.
From routine reviews to formal disputes
Our support covers the full range: pre- and post-assessment reviews, GST/HST and payroll examinations, full audits, taxpayer relief requests for penalties and interest, voluntary disclosures for unfiled years, and notices of objection when an assessment is simply wrong. At each stage we are honest about your position — where the CRA is right, we tell you; where it is not, we push back with evidence.

Common questions about cra correspondence & support
I received a CRA review letter. Is that an audit?
Usually not. Most letters are routine processing or matching reviews — the CRA asking for support for a specific claim, such as donations, medical expenses, or moving costs. A complete, organized response typically closes them without adjustment. An audit is broader and more formal; we manage those too, and we will tell you clearly which one you are dealing with.
Should I respond to the CRA myself?
You can, but volunteered information beyond what was asked, missed nuances, or blown deadlines are the most common ways routine reviews become expensive. Having a CPA respond keeps answers precise, complete, and on the record. It also signals that your position is professionally supported.
What if I actually owe the money?
Then the goal shifts from disputing to managing: confirming the amount is right, requesting penalty and interest relief where grounds exist, and arranging payment terms you can sustain. Honest advice sometimes means telling you the assessment is correct — and then making the outcome as manageable as possible.
Can you help with years I never filed?
Yes. Unfiled years are more common than people admit, and the CRA's Voluntary Disclosures Program can reduce penalties for those who come forward before being contacted. We prepare the outstanding returns, assess eligibility, and manage the disclosure from start to finish.
