It's like waiting for a package - you know there's good stuff inside, but you've got to sign for it!

Owed Money? Here's the Damage.

Missed the tax bus and owe some money? Here's the drill: the CRA and Revenue Québec might charge a late-filing penalty of 5% of your balance, plus an added 1% interest for each tardy month, capping at 12 months. If paying immediately feels like emptying your piggy bank, reach out. The CRA isn't your nemesis. They’ve got pathways to help, including waiving off some interests or penalties.

Mistakes Happen! Here’s the Fix.

Say, you filed, but then had that 'Uh-oh!' moment realizing there was an error. Maybe you missed out on a deduction or forgot a certain income source. Well, there’s a remedy for that! The CRA's got the Voluntary Disclosure Program. Approach them with your goof-up before they bring it up, and they might just give you a get-out-of-jail-free card.
