Good to Know

Why Back Taxes & Unfiled Returns Matters

The CRA’s Voluntary Disclosures Program can, in some cases, allow taxpayers who come forward before being contacted by the CRA to have penalties reduced or waived on previously unfiled or inaccurate returns. Interest and late-filing penalties continue to accrue on every unfiled year with a balance owing, which is why the total owed on multiple back years can grow quickly. The CRA can prepare and assess a return on your behalf using available information if you do not file, and that assessment is often less favourable than a properly prepared return.

Common Questions About Back Taxes & Unfiled Returns

What happens if I have not filed taxes in several years?

Interest and late-filing penalties accrue on any balance owing for each unfiled year, and the CRA can also prepare an assessment on your behalf using the information it has available.

Can penalties be reduced on old unfiled returns?

In some cases, the CRA's Voluntary Disclosures Program allows taxpayers who come forward before being contacted by the CRA to have penalties reduced or waived.

In what order should multiple years of back taxes be filed?

Returns are generally prepared and filed in chronological order so that each year's figures, such as carried-forward amounts, are accurate for the next.
