What happens if the CRA reviews or audits my filing?
We respond on your behalf at no extra charge for any return we prepared. Every figure we file is supported by documentation retained in your file, which is what turns a CRA review from a crisis into correspondence. See how our CRA audit support works.
Can you handle late or missed filings?
Yes. The late-filing penalty is 5% of the balance owing plus 1% of that balance for each full month the return is late, to a maximum of 12 months (CRA, 2025 tax year). Interest is what compounds, daily, on top. We prioritise catch-up work and, where eligible, file under the CRA's Voluntary Disclosures Program to reduce penalties.

What makes U.S. Tax Returns different from filing it myself?
Software applies the rules you told it about. It does not ask whether a treaty caps the withholding on that payment, whether the foreign credit was claimed in the right country, whether an information return was due on an account that earned nothing, or whether your related-party pricing is documented. Those are the questions that move the number on a cross-border file.
How do I find out what my filing will cost?
Call the 24-hour helpline, +1 (416) 619-0068. We establish which filings your position actually needs, then send a fixed fee in writing before any work starts — the number does not move once it is agreed.
Are there any hidden fees or setup charges?
No. All our pricing is fixed and transparent. Any additional charges (e.g., for transaction volumes beyond the package limits) are discussed and agreed upon upfront.
Will I have a dedicated accountant?
Yes. A certified tax accountant will be assigned to manage your account and will be available for direct support via email and phone.
Do I pay tax when I inherit property abroad?
The inheritance itself is often not income to you, but three other things can create tax: the estate may owe tax where the deceased or the property was situated, some countries tax the recipient directly, and the gain from the date you inherit to the date you sell is yours. Reporting obligations can also attach to holding the asset. See inheriting property abroad.
What is double taxation?
Double taxation means the same income being taxed by two authorities. It comes in two forms: juridical, where two countries each tax one person on one amount, and economic, where two different people are taxed on the same underlying profit — a company on its earnings and a shareholder on the dividend paid out of them. Relief comes from a treaty, a foreign tax credit, or an exemption, and which one applies depends on the income type. How to avoid double taxation sets out the routes.
