Understanding a CRA GST/HST Review
CRA GST/HST reviews are conducted to verify that businesses have correctly collected, reported, and remitted GST/HST. Depending on the situation, CRA may request invoices, receipts, GST/HST returns, Input Tax Credit (ITC) documentation, or additional records. Understanding the type of review you’re facing can help you respond accurately and avoid unnecessary reassessments, penalties, or delays.
CRA may request invoices, GST/HST records, Input Tax Credit (ITC) documentation, and explanations of reported revenue. Proper preparation can help reduce delays, reassessments, and additional CRA inquiries
