This form is for people and businesses that owe money to the CRA. It takes about seven minutes and gives us the big picture before we speak - what is owed, what the CRA has already done, and whether anything is coming at you personally.
Approximate figures and dates are fine. Choose Not sure where you do not know - a not sure is useful to us, a guess is not.
Please have a photo or scan of your driver's licence ready to attach at the end.
Tell us early if the CRA has given you a date to respond by, or if you are about to make a payment or sign something the CRA has sent you.
Your answers are confidential. Submitting this form does not make you a client of the firm and does not create a solicitor-client relationship. We will contact you about next steps.

Do you agree to share this information with Fiszman Tax Law so we can assess your matter?
We use your answers only to assess your matter and advise you on next steps. Submitting this form does not create a solicitor-client relationship.
Yes
No
Who owes the balance the CRA is pursuing?
Both means the CRA is pursuing a company and a person - for example the company's GST/HST, and you personally as a director.
Individual
Corporation
Corporation's full legal name
Both
Corporation's full legal name
Is the CRA pursuing you personally for a debt that a company or another person owes?
A CRA letter saying it is considering assessing you personally usually gives you 30 days to reply. The date printed on it is the one that counts.
Yes - the CRA says I am liable as a director of a company
Date printed on the CRA letter that says this
Yes - the CRA says I am liable because money or property was transferred to me
Date printed on the CRA letter that says this
No
Not sure
Are all of your tax returns and GST/HST filings - and the company's, if one is involved - up to date?
Unfiled periods usually have to be brought up to date before the CRA will finalize a payment arrangement. It is better to know now.
Yes, everything is filed
No, some periods are not filed
Which years or periods are not filed?
Not sure
Is the CRA auditing you or the company, or has it reassessed you recently?
An audit or a recent reassessment changes both the amount and the options. Tell us even if it is not finished.
Yes, an audit or review is underway
Which years or periods, and roughly when did it start?
Yes, I was reassessed recently
Which years or periods, and roughly when?
No
Not sure
Which CRA accounts are involved? Choose all that apply.
Choose every account you know about. If you are not sure, choose Not sure - we will confirm it from the CRA directly.
Personal income tax (T1)
Corporate income tax (T2)
GST/HST
Payroll source deductions
Instalments
Other
Not sure
Approximately how much does the CRA say you owe in total today, in Canadian dollars?
A round number is fine. If different accounts have different balances, put the total here and break it down in the next question.
If you know the balance on each account separately, list them here.
For example: GST/HST approx. $40,000; payroll approx. $25,000; personal income tax approx. $12,000.
Which tax years or reporting periods do the balances cover?
For example 2021-2024. An approximate range is fine.
Has the CRA taken any step to collect - taking money, contacting your bank or employer, keeping a refund, or registering a lien?
Include anything that has already stopped. A garnishment that ran for two months last year still matters.
Yes
What happened, and roughly when? Include anything the CRA sent you about it.
No, not that I know of
Not sure
Where are things now?
Select an option
The CRA has started collections action
I have a CRA deadline approaching
I want to set up a payment arrangement
I have a payment arrangement I cannot keep
I received a letter I do not understand
Not sure
Could you start making monthly payments now?
Yes
Roughly how much per month?
Yes, but only a small amount
Roughly how much per month?
Not right now
