We help you challenge unfair assessments through expert appeals and representation.
If you disagree with a CRA assessment or reassessment, you have the right to challenge it, but the deadlines are strict. For most individuals, a notice of objection must be filed by the later of one year after the filing due date or 90 days after the notice of assessment was sent. For corporations it is generally 90 days.
Indus Canada CPA prepares notices of objection that set out the facts, the legal basis and the supporting evidence, which makes a difference when CRA's Appeals Division reviews your file. We present your position to the appeals officer, negotiate where a settlement makes sense, and keep the matter moving.
If the objection isn't resolved, the next step is an appeal to the Tax Court of Canada. We work with our alliance lawyers to prepare evidence and briefs, so your case is consistent from the objection stage through to court.
Our team works alongside trusted legal and financial alliance partners to deliver coordinated tax strategy, compliance, and advocacy — so clients move forward with clarity and confidence.
Individuals generally have until the later of one year after the filing due date or 90 days after the notice was sent. Corporations generally have 90 days. Missing the deadline can end your right to dispute.
For income tax, CRA generally won't take collection action on disputed amounts while an objection is pending, but interest continues to accrue. Other rules apply to GST/HST and payroll amounts.
An objection is an internal review by CRA's Appeals Division. An appeal goes to the Tax Court of Canada, an independent court, if the objection doesn't resolve the issue.
