CRA GST/HST Disputes

The GST/HST provisions of the Excise Tax Act are often more strictly worded than parallel provisions in the Income Tax Act. As a result, the rules that govern them are stricter, and the penalties can be more significant.

​

If you disagree with your assessment by the CRA, you have a right to file a notice of objection for a formal review of your case unless you have waived the right of objection. Generally, you have 90 days to object. The CRA may extend this time upon request only in some situations. However, no extension is available after a lapse of one year, so you should not miss the deadline in the first place. Filing objections as early as possible within the 90-day period may also save you money. You may, therefore, wish to seek legal advice from a lawyer to file a notice of objection.
