| Audits and assessments undertaken by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) that uncover errors or omissions by a taxpayer can lead to significant penalties. These penalties can range from a percentage of unpaid taxes to fixed monthly penalties, up to $2,500 per incident, in the case of late-filed information forms. In severe cases, criminal charges and jail time could result. |

| Collins Barrow periodically publishes Tax Alert for its clients and associates. It is designed to highlight and summarize the continually changing tax and business scene across Canada. While Tax Alert may suggest general planning ideas, we recommend professional advice always be sought before taking specific planning steps. |
