CRA Tax Help · Welland & Niagara
Behind on your taxes or HST? We'll help you get caught up.
Whether you're a year behind, several years behind, owe money, have overdue HST filings, or simply don't want to deal with the CRA yourself, we'll help you figure out where things stand and what needs to happen next.
We'll help get your filings caught up and, where authorized, communicate with the CRA on your behalf.
Getting caught up
If you've been putting it off, you're not the only one.
A lot of people contact Nexus because a tax issue has become something they simply don't want to deal with anymore.
Maybe you haven't filed in several years. Maybe your business fell behind on HST. Maybe you've received letters from the CRA and aren't sure what they mean. Or perhaps you know you owe money and have been avoiding finding out exactly where you stand.
The first step isn't fixing everything at once. It's figuring out what actually needs to be done.
We can help if you:
- Haven't filed your personal taxes in one or more years
- Have several years of returns to catch up
- Are behind on GST/HST filings
- Have overdue corporate tax returns
- Have received letters or requests from the CRA
- Owe taxes and aren't sure where your account stands
- Need old bookkeeping brought up to date before you can file
- Want an experienced professional to communicate with the CRA on your behalf
- Simply want someone else to take the lead on getting things sorted out
CRA communication
You don't have to call the CRA yourself.
For many clients, that's the reason they come to Nexus in the first place.
Dealing with the CRA can mean long calls, unfamiliar terminology, requests for information, old filings and uncertainty about what you're supposed to do next.
When appropriate authorization is in place, Nexus can communicate with the CRA regarding your tax matters, help determine what filings or information are outstanding, respond to correspondence and help move the process forward.
You still make the decisions. You just don't have to navigate the process by yourself.
Nexus Tax & Advisory is an independent firm and is not affiliated with the Canada Revenue Agency.
How it works
Getting caught up starts with three steps.
- 01
Tell us what's going on
You don't need to have everything organized before contacting us.
Tell us what you know: what hasn't been filed, what you've received from the CRA, whether you think you owe money, and how long the issue has been going on.
Not sure exactly what you're behind on? That's okay too.
- 02
We figure out what needs to be done
We'll review the situation, identify the outstanding filings or records needed, and explain the path forward.
If bookkeeping or records need to be reconstructed before returns can be prepared, we'll identify that as well.
- 03
We help get you caught up
Nexus prepares the required filings and helps address the outstanding tax matters.
Where you've appropriately authorized Nexus, we can communicate with the CRA regarding your account and help handle correspondence as the matter moves forward.
Taxes owing
Think you owe money? Getting caught up is still the first step.
Think you owe money? Avoiding the returns usually makes the uncertainty worse. The first step is figuring out what's actually outstanding.
Nexus can help get the required filings prepared, establish where things stand, and explain what comes next.
You don't need to know the answer before you call us. That's what the first conversation is for.
Business tax problems
Behind on HST or business filings?
Falling behind on the business side can compound quickly. One overdue HST return becomes several, bookkeeping isn't current, a corporate year-end passes, and eventually it becomes difficult to know where to start.
Nexus can help business owners work through:
- Overdue GST/HST returns
- Corporate tax filings
- Catch-up bookkeeping
- Payroll-related filings
- Prior-year records
- CRA correspondence
Bring us what you have. We'll help determine what's missing.
Experience matters
Experience matters when the file isn't straightforward.
Rick DeRosa has spent more than 40 years working in tax and accounting. That includes plenty of files that didn't arrive neatly organized and ready to submit.
People come to Nexus with missed filings, old records, CRA letters, businesses with books that need to be reconstructed and tax issues they've avoided dealing with.
You'll deal directly with Rick — not a call centre or seasonal tax preparer.

You don't need to have everything figured out. Give us a general idea of the situation and we'll start there.
