CRA Audits in Canada: Targets, Tactics & Defence
CRA doesn't pick files at random. It matches your return against data it already has from banks, land registries, platforms and crypto exchanges. These videos cover who CRA is targeting right now, how audits actually unfold, how CRA builds a case with tools like net worth audits, and what to do when the letter arrives. You'll also find how objections and voluntary disclosure work, and why many people who push back on a reassessment get some or all of it reversed.
