Praise for Canada TaxResources Inc., Providers of Audit Defence.
"Just a short note to let you know how much I appreciate your expertise in handling our audit earlier this year. Believe me, I have certainly recommended your agency to my friends. Most of them could not believe that a person could go through a three-year audit and end up not owing a cent to the government's money managers!"

Why Would the CRA Audit You?
In some countries, like New Zealand and India, employers or the government file returns for their citizens. Here in Canada, we have a tax system that's based on self-assessment of income & expenses... which keeps you in-the-know and more in control of your tax return, but which also means that the CRA needs to review tax receipts from time to time. The CRA does routine and 'red flag' tax audits - so some tax audits are just impossible to avoid. Filing your return honestly and using TurboTax to check your return for errors is a big step towards protecting you in the case you do get audited randomly.
|
What are some examples of red flags?
|
|
If you're filing your personal tax return, flags for the CRA may include: - Larger than average charitable donations
- Receipts for babysitters who are actually your under-18 children
- Deducting the cost of student bus passes that are provided to you free
- Home-office deductions that are larger than 15-20% of your home's square footage
Self-employed Canadians should be particularly aware of these flags: - Overstating your expenses for your home office
- Sudden jumps or drops in deductions
- Lack of growth in your business (usually after 3 years of being in business)
- Running a cash-based business, like a taxi service or day care
There's more than this, of course. And your Audit Defence audit expert will review your return to identify areas that may be problematic.
