We provide experienced legal support to help navigate the audit process and protect rights.
A letter from the Canada Revenue Agency announcing an audit is stressful, but how you respond in the first few weeks often shapes the outcome. CRA can review personal and corporate income tax, GST/HST, and payroll, and auditors typically start with a request for records, bank statements, invoices and explanations.
Indus Canada CPA acts as your authorized representative so CRA deals with us, not you. We review the years under audit before documents go out, organize and explain your records, respond to information requests on time, and push back when an auditor's position isn't supported by the facts or the law. If CRA issues a proposal letter, we prepare a detailed written response before any reassessment is issued, which is often the best chance to resolve an audit without a formal dispute.
Where an audit raises legal issues, we work with our alliance lawyers so you get coordinated accounting and legal advice.
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.
Don't ignore it, and don't send documents before reviewing them. Note the deadline, gather your records, and have a professional review the years in question so your first response is complete and accurate.
Yes. Once you authorize us as your representative, CRA auditors contact us directly and we attend meetings and handle correspondence on your behalf.
CRA either closes the file with no change or issues a proposal and then a reassessment. If you disagree with a reassessment, you can file a notice of objection within the deadline.
