Services

Responding after assessment (review letters, document requests, automatic reassessment risk)

Many CRA files begin after your return is assessed, then CRA sends a request for supporting documents or explanations. CRA uses different review programs and may ask for proof of specific line items.

If you do not respond within the timeline on a CARP request, CRA notes it can result in an automatic reassessment. If you need more time, CRA indicates you can request an extension using the instructions in the letter.

Submitting documents is commonly done online through CRA portals (My Business Account or Represent a Client), if you are the business or an authorized representative.

CRA GST/HST actions usually focus on whether your tax reporting matches your books and records. CRA also explains that a trust accounts examination is a review of your books and records, and it is not the same as a full audit. If concerns arise, it can be referred for audit.
