“Anytime a taxpayer is faced with an assessment or particularly a reassessment from the CRA, that can be intimidating,” says MacDonald. “Even myself, over the years, if I see … an envelope in my mail that has ‘Canada Revenue’ on the return address, I get a little nervous.” “No matter how wrong CRA was, and how easy it would have been at the time to fix the problem, after [that], you’ve got a huge if not an insurmountable problem,” says Rotfleisch.When you receive a notice from the CRA, there should be an explanation of how the agency landed on that assessment. MacDonald says some questions can be easily resolved by picking up the phone and calling the CRA directly.
