Late Tax Filing Services
If you are behind on your income tax, GST/HST, or provincial sales tax filings, don’t worry—we specialize in helping clients catch up quickly and efficiently. Falling behind on filings is more common than you might think, and in most cases, the situation is manageable with the right approach.
Discovery Call
We start with an initial consultation to understand your situation, answer questions, and explain how tax authorities generally treat late filings.
Authorization Setup
With your permission, we gain access to your CRA account to review your tax history and identify outstanding obligations.
Information Gathering
We provide a checklist and request necessary documents. If any tax slips are missing, we retrieve them directly from your CRA account (where possible).
Reconstructing Records
Using QuickBooks, we prepare your books of accounts by recording transactions from bank statements, investment accounts, credit card statements, and tax slips.
Tax Calculation & Strategy
We prepare an estimate of your tax liability, then schedule a call to review results and discuss options (including payment strategies if you can’t pay in full).
Return Preparation & Filing
We complete and file all required returns on your behalf.
CRA Liaison
We directly communicate with CRA agents to respond to any questions or concerns.
FAQ
If you’ve received a CRA request letter, you must file for the years specified. If not, filings usually don’t need to go back more than 8–10 years. Based on our experience, CRA does not typically request filings beyond 10 years.
You can work with the CRA to set up an installment payment plan. CRA may ask for supporting documents such as bank statements or pay stubs. With open communication, most CRA agents are reasonable and willing to allow manageable installment arrangements.
