CRA Audit Representation & Dispute Resolution
Protect Yourself from CRA Audits & Resolve Tax Disputes with Confidence
Receiving a CRA audit notice or a reassessment letter can be stressful, especially if you’re unsure how to respond. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has the authority to review tax returns, request additional information, and reassess taxes owed. If handled incorrectly, audits and disputes can lead to increased tax bills, penalties, or even legal action.
At Westview Accounting & Tax Services Inc., we provide professional CRA audit representation and dispute resolution services for individuals in North Vancouver, BC. We communicate with CRA on your behalf, prepare necessary documents, and ensure your rights are protected throughout the audit process.
Why Does CRA Audit Taxpayers?
CRA selects taxpayers for audits or reassessments based on various triggers, including:
Unusual Deductions or Large Tax Refunds
Claiming excessive business expenses, medical deductions, or charitable donations may trigger an audit.
Self-Employment & Small Business Income (T2125)
The CRA closely reviews self-employed individuals for unreported cash income, excessive write-offs, or GST/HST non-compliance.
Rental Property Income (T776)
Large rental losses or incorrect expense claims can lead to audits.
Inconsistent Income Reporting (T4, T4A, T5, T3)
If your reported income doesn’t match CRA records, an audit may follow.
Unreported Foreign Income (T1135)
If you own foreign bank accounts, real estate, or investments, CRA may investigate unreported assets.
Past Tax Filings with Errors or Late Submissions
Taxpayers who have a history of late or incorrect tax filings are at higher risk.
Third-Party Tips or Red Flags
CRA may initiate an audit based on anonymous tips or financial inconsistencies.
TIP: If CRA contacts you for an audit or reassessment, it is crucial to respond promptly and professionally to avoid penalties or further investigation.
How the CRA Audit Process Works

CRA will notify you if your return is under review, detailing the year(s) and required documents.
