Every audit has the right to be treated fairly by the authorities, no matter what the situation is.

Your dealing with the auditor may be frustration and stressful.

Our experts can minimize your dealings with the auditors and can get you quick and efficient resolutions.

At AIMS Group, we make sure that your interests are best served by seeking a favorable resolution to a tax audit.

If an acceptable settlement cannot be reached at the audit stage, an appeal/ notice of objection must be filed to submit further information, documents, arguments and submissions for a detail and further review at the CRA appeals division. There will be an appeal officer assigned by CRA on your appeal to ensure that you have audited and re-assessed fairly under Excise/ Income Tax Act. The officer will review all the new facts and documents that support your appeal.

If an acceptable settlement cannot be reached at the CRA appeal stage, and the CRA's position is unreasonable, you have the right to appeal in Tax Court of Canada (TCC) to receive a fair assessment.

We can assist you to understand any settlement offers that you receive by discussing the strengths and weakness of your appeal.
