Three common tax audit flags... and how you can be prepared! (with special guest, Dean Blachford)

Season 3 Episode 3 Published 4 years, 2 months ago
Description

One of the pieces of my tax practice that I do not often highlight on this platform is my work in "tax controversy" or "tax litigation".  A huge part of my practice is helping taxpayers navigate through audits, and appeals to the Tax Court of Canada.   Sometimes, the world of audits and appeals can seem a bit "mysterious".  There is also a huge fear associated with receiving communication from Canada Revenue Agency.  The best way to combat fear is with knowledge.  So in today's episode, I am chatting with my guest about three key areas that typically attract a lot of audit activity - and what you can do to prevent an audit in these areas (or at least prepare yourself should one arise).  First, we tackle "shareholder loan accounts" (8:04), then we move on to the dreaded "net worth audit" (17:38), finishing off with a lively discussion on "input tax credits" and what you need to know about your GST filings (27:17).
