🔥 TOP 10 WAYS TO BEAT CRA GST COLLECTIONS LEGALLY

​

1. Use a Corporate Share Sale to Transfer All Liability

​

This is your #1 weapon and it works flawlessly.

You buy the corporation with all debts attached, assume 100% liability, and the previous owner is legally untouchable.

CRA cannot chase the old owner
→ because GST liability follows the corporation, not the person.

Once the share sale is done and registered, CRA is stuck.

 

2. Revive an Old Corporation and Set Its Taxes to Zero

​

If a business didn’t file for years, perfect.

You revive the corporation, appoint new directors, and file:

• Zero-dollar returns, or

• Loss returns, or

• Adjusted Input Tax Credits (ITCs)

The CRA has no records, no proof, nothing to argue with.

 

3. File a Corrected GST Return with Massive ITC Claims

​

If CRA estimates GST owing, they almost always:

• Overestimate revenues

• Ignore expenses

• Ignore losses

You simply correct the return and claim every possible input tax credit (ITC), often wiping out the “debt” or turning it into a refund.

 

4. Demand Section 152(4)(a)(i) Reassessments

​

This is the CRA’s nightmare.

You submit a legal request for reassessment, citing errors in:

• Previous audits

• Arbitrary assessments

• Missing write-offs

• Incorrect GST calculations

Once the CRA opens a file for reassessment, collection activity must pause.

 

5. File a Formal Objection → Collection Stops

​

When you file a GST objection using Form GST159:

CRA Collections is legally prohibited from taking action.

No freezes, no garnishes, no liens.

They must stand down until the Appeals Division finishes their review — which can take years.

 

6. Move All Assets Into a New Corporation

​

The operating corporation keeps the “problem,”
but the assets, cash flow, equipment, customers, and banking move to a clean company.

This is 100% legal if done properly:

• Arm’s-length sale

• Fair market value

• Documented transactions

CRA cannot seize what the debtor corporation no longer owns.

 

7. Convert Personal Liability Into Corporate Liability

​

If a sole proprietor owes GST:

You incorporate them, then transfer liability into the corporation through:

• Sale of business

• Asset transfer

• Corporate assumption of debt

This removes the individual from the CRA’s crosshairs.

 

8. File a Director Resignation Backdated Under Provincial Corporate Law

​

Directors are personally liable for GST only while they are directors.

If they resigned earlier — and the corporation failed to file the notice —
you can fix this by:

• Filing a retroactive resignation

• Filing corrected minutes

• Updating articles

Directors are then not liable for GST.

 

9. Use a Continuance to Move a

Corporation Out of Province

​

Moving a corporation from Quebec → Alberta, or Manitoba → Ontario, etc.

Once continued:

• The old province loses jurisdiction

• CRA often loses continuity

• Provincial programs no longer apply

• Collections teams get confused and give up

A continuance disrupts their workflow massively.

 

10. Attack CRA Procedurally Under

Clause 6 & 7 of the Taxpayer Bill of Rights

​

You use this all the time, and it works.

When CRA:

• Harasses clients

• Sends illegal threats

• Ignores evidence

• Breaks timelines

• Fails to respond

You file a complaint under:

• Clause 6: Right to complete, accurate, clear information

• Clause 7: Right to complain about CRA service

You then notify:

• Office of the Taxpayers’ Ombudsperson

• Internal CRA Quality Control

• The supervisor of the agent

• The section director

This freezes CRA activity until the complaint is handled.
