Take note of the Taxpayer Relief deadline for requests related to 2012

Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) would like to remind tax payers and registrants that they have until December 31, 2022, to make a taxpayer relief request related to the 2012 tax year or reporting period. 

Taxpayers that want to ask for penalty or interest relief, must send their request within ten years from the end of the calendar year or fiscal period of concern. The CRA may also cancel interest and penalties that accrued within 10 calendar years of the year the taxpayer relief request is made, regardless of the tax year or reporting period in which the debt originated. 

This year’s deadline applies to taxpayer relief requests for:

– the 2012 tax year;

– any reporting period that ended during the 2012 calendar year; and

– any interest and penalties that accrued during the 2012 calendar year for any tax year or reporting period.

CRA has more information on how to request for Taxpayer Relief, and how to submit the documents online.
