He Lost $5M to the CRA Because He Trusted His Accountant

from The Advisors Table Podcast · host AdvisorsTablePodcast

💡 The Canada Revenue Agency is currently in the most aggressive weeks of its fiscal year.According to findings from the Auditor General, approximately 40% of audit files are closed in February and March. That means tighter deadlines, faster reassessments, and increased pressure to finalize files before year-end.In this video, I break down:• Why 65% of objections are decided fully or partially in the taxpayer’s favour• What "Tax Earned by Audit" (TEBA) means and why it matters• Why year-end pressure can change auditor behaviour• What to do before CRA contacts you• What to do if you're already under audit• Why understanding the process can improve your chances of a successful outcome💡 When you understand how the system works, you stop reacting emotionally — and start responding strategically.Whether you're a business owner, investor, or professional, understanding how CRA measures audit performance can help you navigate the process more effectively.🔗 Resources & GuidesFor episode breakdowns, tax checklists, blogs, and additional resources, visit:🌐 theadvisorstable.com📞 Looking for Trusted Tax Advice?Connect with Sankalp (Sunny) Jaggi, at Cedar Consulting Group📧 Email: [email protected]🌐 Website: cedargroup.ca🔔 Subscribe for practical breakdowns of CRA audits, tax planning, objections, and real-world tax cases.👇 Comment below: Have you ever been audited during CRA's year-end season?LEGAL DISCLAIMER: This video is based on a real case, but names and some details have been changed to protect client confidentiality.
