Chances are that you know someone who does not report all his/her income in tax return or report extra expenses to get higher refund. Also, most of the people are not interested in reporting the tax evasion to CRA. There are serious consequences for filing incorrect tax return.
We suggest to remember the following points to keep tax man at bay:

Report all your income. Check CRA web site to make sure all T slips (i.e. income slips) have been reported. Our research shows most of the times mistakes happen in calculating taxable capital gains,
Claim tax credit correctly. There are some tax credits CRA loves to review such as tuition fee transfer, significant donation amount, and travel expense details etc.,
Claim only realistic expenses. For example, if you claim auto expenses over 90% as business expense, CRA may ask you to show travel log book.
Showing business loss all the time is not advisable. CRA understands that not every new business makes profit in first few years but you cannot have a business to create loss.
Make sure your HST calculations are accurate and returns are up to date
Remember, once CRA finds something wrong in your return, you will be in their radar for long time. Let us know if we can help you to keep your taxes in check.
