Expert answers for your questions

A woman on her phone, and a phone showing the definition of reassessment: "...the summary of the calculated amounts for your income tax and benefit return. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) sends you these results after receiving your tax return. The CRA will only send you a notice of reassessment (NOR) if changes are made to your assessed tax return. The NOR is an updated summary of the changes."

Why did the CRA reassess your tax return? What should you do about it?

Stand up and fight your original NOA, or pay up and move on? The right move depends on how well you understand the CRA’s reasoning for reassessment—and how easily you can prove them wrong.
