Case Study 1
CRA Audit for GST/HST – Saving Our Client Over $70,000
A mid-sized e-commerce business faced a CRA audit due to discrepancies in GST/HST filings, leading to a demand of $75,000 for unpaid taxes, interest, and penalties. We conducted a thorough review, identified errors, and restructured the filings to ensure full compliance. As a result, the CRA reassessed the case and reduced the total liability to $3,500, saving the client $71,500.
Case Study 2
CRA Audit for Personal Tax – Avoiding Unfair Tax Adjustments
A self-employed IT consultant was facing a CRA audit on disputed business expense claims, which resulted in a demand for $20,000 in additional taxes. We gathered the necessary documentation, presented detailed justifications, and prepared a solid response. The CRA accepted 90% of the deductions, reducing the final tax bill to $1,200 and saving the client $18,800.
Case Study 3
Voluntary Disclosure – Avoiding CRA Penalties
A small business owner had missed corporate tax filings for five years and feared significant penalties. We filed under the Voluntary Disclosure Program (VDP), ensuring the CRA waived all penalties and only charged interest. This allowed the client to avoid over $50,000 in penalties and become fully compliant.
Case Study 4
Filing 10 Years of Late Tax Returns – Big Refund Secured
A contractor hadn’t filed taxes for 10 years and expected to owe money. We filed all overdue returns, claiming missed tax credits, deductions, and overpaid taxes. Rather than owing, the CRA issued a $28,000 refund, turning what seemed like a financial setback into a positive outcome for the client.
