That's not a bad choice if your
time is valuable, but have you included that
additional cost in your
calculations as well (see the discussion
of «math» above)?
These basic lessons are the «why» behind these two columns: * Never accept the numbers you receive from CRA as being correct; always make sure you understand and agree; * Always insist on the background
calculations and assumptions to the numbers; there is no way anyone should pay a bill without understanding it; too many people just pay when it comes to CRA; * Never give up if you think you are right; having said this, I do not know yet if the company in this story will in fact file a second Notice
of Objection to recover the
additional $ 1,000... cost benefit does enter into the equation at
times; * There are a surprising number
of CRA staff in the various departments who are understanding and helpful; * As I have stated in earlier columns, there are mechanisms built into the system that protect and allow taxpayers to challenge CRA where it is appropriate.
