Sean Kelly is a sales tax partner in the Leamington office of Baker Tilly Trillium | Where a person receives an assessment for income tax purposes and files an objection, the Income Tax Act prevents the CRA from taking collection measures in most cases until the objection is settled. However, the CRA is not subject to the same restraint where a person is assessed for GST/HST purposes. Section 315 of the Excise Tax Act (ETA) provides that, where a notice of assessment is issued, any amount assessed (including interest and penalties) becomes payable “forthwith” – meaning immediately.
