On May 28, 2020, the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA")
announced that audit activity, slowed by COVID-19, is resuming. The
CRA continues to prioritize matters beneficial to taxpayers
(benefit and credit matters), large dollar value files, and files
with "strategic importance" to Canada,
provinces/territories and treaty partners.
If progress on your audit is urgent, the CRA will prioritize it
after being informed of the urgency.
The CRA also confirmed that many existing COVID-19 policies
remain in place:
- collections activities on new debts
remain suspended until further notice, and
- the deadline for objections due
between March 18, 2020 and June 30, 2020 remains extended to June
30, 2020.
The full announcement is available here.
