How to Read Notice of Assessment and Reply to Request for Documents
Canadians tax filing deadline has passed on April 30th, 2011. And if you are one of those who have filed their tax return on time, you have probably got back your refund or if you owed taxes, paid your tax bill by now, to avoid penalties and interest.
You also probably got a Notice of Assessment from Canada Revenue Agency, explaining, how much carry forward you have for the next tax year and what is your TFSA and RRSP contribution limits for the next tax year. NOA is a very important document for you to understand and keep in file. If you do not agree with the NOA, you must file your objection in due time. If you fail to file your objection to CRA’s NOA, by law you are obligated to abide by the NOA information and data. Get help of your Tax Advisor to understand your NOA.
If your tax return was a bit complicated and you have lots of medical, tuition expense, business loss, etc., CRA will not send you a NOA. CRA will send you a 4 to 9 page letter, requesting supporting/additional documents to support your deduction claims. This letter is usually sent from CRA’s preassessment review section.
