Have you received a repayment letter from CRA and don’t have the funds? You’re panicking because you don’t know where the money is coming from. Don’t panic. We can help.
The government began to verify the payments it sent to almost nine million Canadians through the Canada Emergency Response Program (CERB). A lot of Canadians are being told they have to pay back some or all of the money they received as the government has determined they were ineligible for the amount received and/or because they received an advance payment that was never reconciled.
The CRA said they have started sending out Notices of Redetermination, or more correctly put, collection notices, to Canadians who turned out to be ineligible for some or all of the CERB they received.
Ignoring the CRA is never a good way at dealing with taxes, whether it be repayment of CERB or just personal income taxes. CRA can seize your bank account or garnish your wages. That could have a huge impact on your life when the money you have for rent and food is suddenly gone.
So now what? Call us. We can help you. The most important thing you can do is ask for help if you need it. Being in debt and struggling just to meet living expenses during high inflation is more common than you think. It’s not too late to seek professional help and find out what your options are.
Call us. It’s not too late!
