The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) imposes daily compounded interest and penalties for late payment, late filing, and tax non-compliance. These charges can cause serious financial stress for both individuals and businesses. However, taxpayers in specific circumstances may request relief through the CRA’s Taxpayer Relief Program. At KR Law Firm, we help clients through this process to minimize their financial stress and protect their rights

Understanding the Taxpayer Relief Program

The Taxpayer Relief Program allows the CRA to reduce or cancel penalties and interest charges in certain situations where circumstances beyond a taxpayer’s control prevented them from meeting their tax obligations. Eligibility is assessed on a case-by-case basis, and the program is designed to address extraordinary situations that warrant leniency.

Comprehensive Assessment of Your Case

At KR Law Firm, our process begins with a detailed review of your tax situation. This includes understanding why the penalties or interest were charged, identifying mitigating factors, and evaluating your eligibility for relief under the law. We work closely with you to gather all necessary supporting documentation, ensuring that your case is well-prepared and compelling.

Preparing a Strong Application

Once we determine eligibility, we meticulously prepare your taxpayer relief application. This involves crafting a clear and persuasive submission that outlines your circumstances and demonstrates how they meet the CRA’s criteria. We handle all aspects of the application process, including:

• Drafting detailed explanations of your situation.
• Compiling supporting evidence.
• Managing all communications with the CRA.

Our focus is on submitting an application that adheres to CRA standards and maximizes your chances of success.

Advocacy and Appeals

If your initial request for relief is denied or challenged, we stand by your side to advocate for your interests. Our approach includes analyzing the CRA’s response, identifying areas for further clarification, and preparing appeals or supplementary submissions as necessary. Our goal is to ensure that every opportunity for relief is explored and pursued effectively.
