RECENT EXAMPLES OF OUR EFFECTIVE REPRESENTATION TO THE TAX AUTHORITIES

• A client, who was temporarily out of Canada for about 4 years, managed to maintain significant residential ties with the country during her absence. However, the CRA determined that the client was a non-resident of Canada during the period of absence and, on that basis, was assessed with an overpayment of over $10,000 on account of benefit programs amounts received after she had left Canada. We filed an objection and the CRA Appeals Division agreed with our representation that the client was a factual resident of Canada during the period of absence. The assessments were vacated, and the client received benefits programs refund of over $21,000 covering the period of absence. • The CRA reassessed a client for two taxation years resulting in tax payable of over $40,000. Following our effective representation that there was no basis for the reassessments, the CRA accepted our revised computations, reversed their reassessments and refunded the excess charges to the client.

Our knowledge and depth of experience in taxation , tax audit and financial accounting will be invaluable to our clients in Ottawa when facing challenges from the Tax Authorities

In the fall of 2020, I had the fortune of meeting Mr. Kitcher. With efficiency, and great patience for ongoing questions, he completed our families taxes. He provided ongoing updates, explaining what we were entitled to. Very professional for beginning to end. I would recommend his services, and will return to him myself

Frequently Asked Questions about Accouting & Tax Services in Ottawa

In Canada, the deadline for filing your personal income tax return is typically April 30th. If April 30th falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline is usually extended to the next business day. However, for self-employed individuals and their spouses, the deadline is June 15th, but any taxes owed are still due by April 30th.

There are several ways to reduce your taxable income, including making contributions to Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs), claiming eligible deductions and credits, utilizing tax-efficient investment strategies, and taking advantage of employer-sponsored retirement plans like a Registered Pension Plan (RPP) or a Group RRSP.

You will typically need documents such as T4 slips (employment income), T5 slips (investment income), receipts for eligible deductions and credits, RRSP contribution receipts, and any relevant tax forms. It’s important to keep all your financial records organized to ensure accurate reporting.

If you miss the tax filing deadline and owe taxes, you may face penalties and interest charges on the amount owing. It’s best to file your return as soon as possible to minimize penalties. If you don’t owe taxes or are expecting a refund, there is no penalty for filing late, but it’s still a good idea to file promptly.

You can check the status of your tax refund online through the CRA’s “My Account” service or by calling the CRA’s Tax Information Phone Service (TIPS) at 1-800-267-6999. Be prepared to provide your social insurance number and other relevant information for verification.

If you receive a tax audit notification, it’s important to respond promptly and cooperate with the CRA. Consider seeking professional assistance from Kitcherson Ottawa Tax services ensure that you provide accurate information and navigate the audit process effectively.
