Recent CRA matters

Examples of CRA audits and reviews we have taken through to resolution. Details are anonymised to protect client confidentiality.

CRA disallowance of business expenses

During a tax review, the CRA disallowed expenses the client maintained were legitimate business costs. We challenged the proposed treatment, assembled the records, and connected every expense to the business.

Outcome: the CRA accepted our position in full.

CRA audit of intercompany management fees

The CRA questioned whether a corporation's intercompany management fees were deductible. We established the commercial substance of the services and engaged the CRA through a detailed written response.

Outcome: resolved on terms agreed between the client and the CRA.

Employment expenses (Form T2200)

The CRA asked an employee for evidence that prior-year employment expenses were deductible. We compiled the supporting documents, including the T2200, and prepared a schedule-by-schedule response.

Outcome: the client's position was substantiated and the CRA's concerns were resolved.
