Hello Sam,

Per Tim’s email, it appears we already have access to both the Waterloo and Oakville CRA account.

With that said, for Oakville, per review of the account, we noticed the following outstanding payments, per screenshot below.  The GST/HST outstanding balance of $418.89, appears to be due to the late filing for the Q1 2023 return which resulted in penalties and interests.  To avoid further interests, please pay the outstanding amount off as soon as possible.  Please refer to the attached SOA for your reference.

As for the Waterloo account, there is an outstanding balance of $33,284.64 on the GST/HST account.  It appears that there were no payments made for the Q1 2023 period.  Furthermore, the filing was submitted after the deadline, which resulted in additional penalties and interests.  With that said, please pay the outstanding amount off as soon as possible to avoid further interests.  Please refer to the attached SOA for your reference.

@Timothy Thomas<mailto:tt@thekey.com> Hi TIm, Can you please have a look at the below request from KPMG? Are you now authorized with the CRA?
Lastly, please provide us with the full names and telephone number of directors who are authorized under the CRA for Arya Healthy Living Inc., and please confirm whether the Canadian individual already has CRA login.  The same login to their personal income tax, MyAccount, can be used to access MyBusiness Account.  We can provide guidelines once you confirm.  As explained, in order for CRA to confirm online authorization, the authorized directors will need to login into “MyBusiness Account” and accept the request to allow KPMG to become representatives for each of the entities.

In addition, please find the following documents attached:

Please note the following and refer to the KPMG Comments and Notes sections of the preparation file for any adjustments made.



Sales

  *   Per review of data, we noticed that some sales do not have taxes collected, as highlighted in yellow for your reference.  However, we have reported based on the data provided.  With that said, please provide us with an explanation as to why no taxes are being collected for these customers.
  *   Per review of data, we noticed Invoice #1194 have an inconsistent tax rate, however, we have prepared the return based on the data provided.  It is highlighted in green for your reference.  With that said, please provide us with an explanation as to the inconsistent tax rate for this sale and please provide us with the invoices for review.
  *   From the data provided, no provincial information was provided, however, based on the taxes collected these appears to be only participating HST provinces.  If our understanding is incorrect, please let us know.
  *   Per review of TWE Invoices, it appears that the "Amount" under column G, includes taxes.  With that said, we have excluded the taxes in the amount and reported only sales amount.  If our understanding is incorrect, please let us know and we will revise the return.
  *   For entries highlighted in orange for your reference, we noted that the total does not reconcile with the sum of Care logs plus expenses, mileage and taxes.  With that said, please provide us with an explanation for the discrepancy.
  *   For the Refund HST, please note that we were not provided with the details of this adjustment.  However, this appears to be an adjustment to Allamby, Kathryn, as taxes appears to be collected on this tax-exempt customer.  With that said, we have included based on the data provided.



ITCS

  *   Please note that no ITCs were provided to us for this period.  However, if you do have ITCs for this period, please forward us the data and we can include it in the next return.
  *   For entries highlighted in green, we noted that the description includes "insurance", however, please note that insurance premiums tax cannot be claimed as ITCs.  If these are indeed insurance premiums tax, please let us know and we will revise the return.

Québec announced through its November 10, 2017 economic plan that it intends to introduce legislation that will prohibit a taxpayer who has carried out a transaction, or series of transactions, subject to a Revenu Québec final assessment based on the general anti-avoidance rule from being able to obtain authorization from the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) to bid for or obtain public contracts.
