I need to file for an extension for my Canada tax return. I can’t find anything on CRA’s website, and an internet search turns up nothing other than how to file for an extension with the IRS (with the United States).

How do I properly let the CRA know that I am requesting an extension to the deadline?

There is no way to receive an extention. You will just be filing late. Any amount you owe will receive a 5% penalty at the stroke of midnight on May 1st. On the first of each month 1% interest will be added.

If you have no balance owing, there really is no deadline.

CRA will only waive penalty and interest in extreme cases. The death of a parent, or even out of the country, can’t qualify.

No and if this is your principal residence ( as in, you do not own any other home and it is not a rental ), there are no taxes payable on the proceeds of the sale.

If this was a taxable residence, CRA doesn’t get reports on when people sell homes, however, the land titles department does register this information and CRA can access it at any time should they need to.

My mother is about to get her house siezed by the government for non-payment of debts and I was wondering if I should be worried that they could come after me as well. I am 30 years old, have my own family and owe nothing to the government. My name is not on any of her things but her home will not cover what she owes. Do I take on this debt if she fails to pay?

i am not from canada but i really dont see how you are responsible for her debts.if she died and you were in charge of the estate maybe if you actually had anything of value,but thats not the case as long as you are not a co signer for any debt i am sure it is only your mothers problem or if she has a husband its his debt too.good luck.

My mother is a business woman and she’s been having problems the last few years with her health and the such. We owe about 50 grand in taxes through the business and she is considering bankruptcy. However, they have resorted to harassing me, and coming to my residence and questioning everyone around me. I LIVE INDEPENDENTLY OF MY FAMILY and i don’t work for them. So are they allowed to be investigating me in turn for something that’s my parents problem?. I worry that my job and personal life and privacy is now in jepardy for something i didn’t do!!! My tax stuff is all good and i have a clean record! Can i get the officer to back off?

Hello,

Call a lawyer to get them off your back and write to the Revenue minister. Just do it, do not threaten or swear at them. My friend went through a big audit and was able to consult some sort of arbitrater when he felt the situation became a personal vendetta. I know you said you have nothing to do with her company but I suggest you check though to see if your mother ever claimed she made payments to you or used you as some sort of partial write off for something.

When they do show up, always have some fresh coffee ready for them with a cinnamon Danish or two; seems to relax and mellow them a bit. Also I talked to them before and other than your tax payments, personal or corporate not in jive with your lifestyle, they react to complaints from friends or neighbors. Is there anyone you know that is familiar with your mother’s situation and is jealous about you or your life style? I have seen farmers rat one another out and my friend mentioned here put two and two together thinking that a rival machinist shop was the culprit for him.
Finally, you are not alone. Been filing all my GST’s the same way for years and got 5 sent back saying they cannot processs them now because they need more info etc etc.
LOL, whenever I get that familiar sandy envelope with the black maple leaf I feel like a poor old Jew getting a brown envelope with the eagle and swastika circa 1934 in Germany… whatever is inside is not good news!

Can’t trick them…if you don’t owe them any money, it’s not a big deal, you have until 6 May to file.

If you do owe, you will be charged a late fee on what you owe. You might want to try and schmooze the tipline to waive the 5% interest for the one day. CRA is reasonable, believe it or not…

Is it there a written Law or they randomly deside.
A government emploee desides that you pay 1,000
or 10,000 dolars tax just like that.
When I call them they avoid responsibility, just pass
to onother to deal .

Yes, the written law is the Income Tax Act. CRA employees also use additional information such as Information Circulars, Bulletins, case law, and their own training manuals. Moving expenses do not get approved in all cases, just when the criteria is met.

If you disagree with their (re)assessment, file a Notice of Objection, and provide the rationale as to why you feel the reassessment/adjustment is incorrect.

Here is a link regarding moving expenses. It includes the form, and the IT bulletin that provides further information.

I would like to know what the legal definitions of INCOME and REVENUE that are used by Canada Revenue Agency for taxation purposes are and what legal document I can find these officially defined in.

Both are defined in the Income Tax Act, and that is the basis for CRA’s interpretations.

I have my last tax return filed for 2005 tax and I have got the tax statment. But, when I were looking for it, because I needed it for a purpose, I can’t find it. I live in Calgary, Canada. How can I get a copy of it? Is there a way I can get it soon in person( either downloading or getting its copy from the nearby gov’t office), instead of it being mailed to me?

What you are missing is called your notice of assessment, sounds like for the 2005 year. There is certainly a way to get it in person if you have a district taxation office near you. Just give the 18009595525 number a call and set up an appointment to pick it up. Keep in mind you are using a call centre now, used to be you could just walk in, but I know from experience things have changed. There is a way to get it online but it requires you registering for your EPass code, which has to be mailed before you can do this. Go to the main page I’ve put below, go to individuals, go to my account, log in with your EPass. All things considered it still may be the fastest way to go. Make sure that you keep a copy in a safe place with your tax return this time.

Iam looking too get the money a person lost in a court case and dose not want to pay back too me looking too garnish his income tax or welfare .

Judgments are not automatically enforced in Canada. That means you’ll need to find a lawyer to do this. I recommend doing it quickly because judgments expire and people move and change identities, etc…
