Why You Should NOT Defend Yourself!

A Qualified Representative:

• Defends taxpayers for a living and is an expert in this specialty.
• Knows more about the CRA and taxes than the taxpayer they are defending does, and the CRA knows it.
• Does not react defensively because this audit is business, not personal.
• Knows when the position that the auditor is taking is mistaken and totally without merit.
• Knows that simple misstatements can result in an inappropriate but justifiable position by the CRA.
• Knows from experience the weak areas in any income tax return and gathers the information needed to end the questioning before it begins.
• Can identify areas in an income tax return that can generate a refund or reduce the impact of lost deductions.
• Presents your case in the most favorable light in a manner that will close the audit as quickly as possible.
• You never meet with the CRA alone!

A Qualified Representative is the best way to reduce the financial and emotional impact of an audit. Protect yourself. You must purchase your membership prior to being selected for audit.

The day your audit notice is issued is one day too late!
