CRA Disputes

Overview

CRA disputes can arise when the Canada Revenue Agency questions a return, issues a reassessment, denies a claim, or asks for more information. For many taxpayers, the challenge is not just understanding the CRA’s position. It is knowing how to respond, what evidence matters, and how to keep the dispute process organized from the start. LM Law & CPA LLP helps clients approach CRA disputes with confidence. We review the facts carefully, explain what matters most, and help prepare responses that are easier to understand and easier to manage. That can include objection support, reassessment review, document organization, and help with other CRA-related dispute issues. CRA disputes often become more complicated when deadlines are tight, the records are incomplete, or the taxpayer is not sure which facts the CRA is relying on. We help reduce that confusion by focusing on the key details, organizing the important documents, and guiding clients through each stage in a practical way. Whether the issue involves a personal tax matter or a business account, we aim to make the path more straightforward and less stressful.  

Who This Service Is For

This service is for individuals, self-employed taxpayers, corporations, and business owners who need help responding to a CRA assessment, reassessment, audit, or objection-related issue. It is also useful for clients who received a notice from the CRA, disagree with a tax result, need help preparing an objection, or want support gathering documents before a deadline expires. Some clients know they want to challenge the CRA’s position but are not sure how to do it properly. Others are still comparing their options and want guidance before they file anything. In either case, the process becomes easier when the dispute strategy is clear from the start.  

What We Help With

We help clients with notice of objection support, reassessment review, CRA response preparation, document review, and general tax dispute guidance. We also help clients understand what information should be included in the file and what can create confusion if it is missing or inconsistent. A strong CRA dispute file is often one where the facts, records, and written response all work together as one clear story. When needed, we also help clients organize timelines, receipts, financial records, and other material that may support the dispute. If the matter is already underway or if the facts have changed, we help review the next step and build a more practical path forward. For many clients, the goal is not just to respond to the CRA, but to respond in a way that is organized, timely, and supported by the record.
