An invoice will be sent to the e-mail address specified in the request form. All customers are responsible for paying the invoice before receiving the secured PDF tax return.

Tax return

If you opt for the Canadian tax return,

  • Canadataxback will prepare the tax returns to the best of their knowledge and belief and according to the current tax rules.
  • You will pay the agreed fee.

When Canadataxback prepares the Canadian tax return for you, Canadataxback assumes that

  • You have not yet filed a tax return in Canada for the tax year.
  • You will provide your personal information and all types of income (both from Canada and outside Canada) completely and truthfully.

Canadataxback reserves the right to reject the tax return service if there is a suspicion of intentional violation of the Canadian Tax Act.

The Canada Revenue Agency  has the final decision on the exact tax calculation. They might charge interest for late filing or request repayment of benefits or use the tax refund for unpaid taxes or benefits you were not entitled to.

You will receive the completed tax return by e-mail as a PDF, which is protected with a password that only you and Canadataxback knows.

Disclaimer

If the Canada Revenue Agency calculates a different tax amount due to missing or incorrect information, Canadataxback accepts no responsibility if the “Notice of Assessment” is modified by the Canada Revenue Agency .

Missing/incorrect information includes, for example:

  • omitting a Canadian T4 slip
  • not reporting additional income for the tax year*
  • not reporting foreign income for the tax year*

Refunds

The services offered on www.canada-taxback.com are delivered electronically. With the delivery of the completed documents (PDF) the service is completed. This means that a refund of the fees is then no longer possible.

A change of opinion on the preparation of the tax return after completion of the service will not result in a refund of the fees.

A partial refund of the invoice will only be made if the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) calculates a lower tax refund. In this case, the invoice amount will be corrected and the difference will be refunded. 

However, this does not apply

  • if the taxpayer has failed to report income in the request form and the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) had to recalculate the taxes as a result.
  • if the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) uses all or part of the tax refund to offset an amount owing for example GST/HST credits that might have to be repaid.

*Canadian Tax Year is January 1 – December 31
