On a recent “The Fifth Estate” program on the CBC, there was segment about how CRA works and the tactics they use to harass “clients” during an audit. And, apparently, without repercussion if they’re wrong. It’s downright scary to see how much power a single person in a governmental agency can have to effectively ruin your life if they want to. The operative word is “want to”, because they’ll play you like a small-mouth bass on the hook. CRA plays hard ball and they play to win at all costs: even if it ruins you financially.
I don’t want to scare you, but it seems the CRA is the closest thing in this country to the Gestapo we’ll ever see. I WOULD NOT ever attempt to to deal on such a matter as yours without some sort of professional representation. Get an accountant. Get a tax lawyer. Get it in writing.
And this is the case for people without disabilities who have audited by CRA. I can’t eve begin to imagine how they would treat someone with a “hidden” disability such as we have. Especially if you an anxiety disorder as an add-on to your ADD.
Anytime I have dealt with CRA, I had different answers for the same question from different CRA people.
Hope this helps….and good luck
