Deadline for Taxpayer Relief is December 31, 2011

Denise — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 04:44:16 +0000

Did You Know…..you still have until December 31st to file a request for taxpayer relief for the 2001 tax year and any reporting period that ended in 2001 calendar year. However, a recent Federal Court of Appeal Case, Bozzer v Canada, the taxpayer relief provisions (fairness provisions) can apply to reduce interest and penalties which have accumulated in the 10 taxation years preceding the request for leniency, even if the tax debt causing the interest arose prior to that period. Therefore, if the tax debt arose from the 1999 tax year, penalties and interest that have accumulated from 2001 to 2010 could still be reduced as a result of a 2011 request for leniency.
