some help for income tax debt

Edwards Finance > Debt Help

Q. Would someone be able to help me with specific parts of the Income Tax Act? I need specific references such as section, subsection, article number etc. I am not a lawyer and have no money to hire one. I am hoping that there is a benevolent lawer or tax expert that can answer these questions. I am disabled with a mental illness really need help here. This is regarding personal Income Tax (T1) 1) What part of the Act refers to the Fairness Provision? 2) What part of the Act allows the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) to do arbitrary assesments when someone has not filed their tax returns? 3) What part of the Act allows the CRA to not perform arbitrary assesments when a tax refund is the likely outcome to such an assesment? 4) What part of the Act allows the CRA to credit tax refunds in aggregate rather than year to year. i.e. When a tax debt is owed for one tax year, and tax refund credits that are available in subsequent years are not credited towards that debt, allowing the CRA to continue charging coumpound interest for the tax year that money is owed to the CRA. (hope this is clear enough) 5) What part of the Act does not require certain RRSP receipts to be filed with the CRA. (the reverse to this would be that every T4 must be filed with the CRA)

A. about question 1 Check out Section 220. You might also want to get a hold of Information Cicrcular 92-2 about question 2 Section 152(7). about question 3 None. Generally speaking it is not a "crime" to not file when you are expecting a refund. But if you are in a deficit position then it is considered a breach of the ITA. So, naturally, they will file on your behalf. about question 4 If subsequent years have tax credits they are allocated to the oldest outstanding debt. You have to figure out what happened to the credits that they weren't allocated to the oldest debt. You might have to request a Statement of Account. Go back to the year of the oldest outstanding assessment and request it from that date to the present. about question 5 ­- What kind of receipts are you talking about? When you cash out of an RSP? Make a withdrawal? A contribution? The question sounds like a negative, the CRA won't tell you what isn't required only what is required. If they don't ask for it then it isn't required. ­-There isn't a part of the ITA that says when you don't have to do something, only when oyu have to do something. You want RSP receipt(s) issued otherwise the CRA would think that the amounts (the pension and the severance) went into your hands instead of an RSP. If this is what they think they would tax you on the amount that you received. Anytime there is movement of funds in or out of an RSP some sort of receipt is issued whether it is for contributions, income, homebuyers plan etc. etc. They have to know.
