//06Questions
Before you hit the ice.
Common questions about catching up, commission expenses and getting started.
How many years back can you file?
As many as you need. There's no general cut-off for filing a late personal return. Some refunds and relief requests do have time limits, so it's worth starting sooner rather than later.
I've lost my slips and receipts. Can you still help?
Yes. With your authorization we can access the slip information the CRA has on file, and we can rebuild business income and expenses from bank and credit card statements.
Will I have to pay penalties?
It depends. The CRA's late-filing penalty is based on the balance owing, so if you're due a refund for a year, there's usually no late-filing penalty. If you owe, penalties and interest apply, but relief may be available in some situations. We'll review your options with you.
I sell cars on commission. Can I deduct expenses?
Possibly. Commission employees can deduct certain expenses, such as advertising, promotion, cell phone and some vehicle costs, if their employer signs Form T2200. Keep your receipts and a vehicle logbook, and we'll handle the rest.
