Years behind is a solvable problem
People fall behind on filing for ordinary reasons, and the longer it goes the harder it is to start. The practical position is usually better than it feels: returns can be filed for prior years, and coming forward before the CRA makes contact generally leaves more options open than waiting.
HBT files back years in order, personal and corporate, and explains the likely outcome before the first return is submitted. Where the Voluntary Disclosures Program is relevant we set out what it requires and whether the file appears to qualify.
What a back filing engagement covers
Establish what is outstanding
Confirm which years are unfiled for each person and entity, and what the CRA account already shows.
Reconstruct the records
Rebuild the information needed for each year from slips, statements and whatever documentation exists.
File in order and explain
Submit the years in sequence and set out the resulting balance and next steps.
How the work begins
Step 1: One honest conversation
Free, confidential, and no lecture. We need the years and whether the CRA has contacted you.
Step 2: Scope and price the work
Price depends on years, entities, and how much documentation survives.
Step 3: Bring everything current
File, deal with the balance, and put a process in place for next year.
How far back can unfiled returns be filed?
Prior year personal and corporate returns can generally still be filed, and doing so is normally better than leaving them outstanding. Individual T1 returns start at $65 and business owner or self employed returns at $350. We confirm scope and price after reviewing which years are outstanding.
