Voluntary Disclosures
Voluntary Disclosure Accountants in Windsor
Windsor is one of Canada's largest business cities, from the corporate towers of the City Centre and the industrial base around Pearson to the owner-run businesses of Streetsville, Malton, Cooksville, Meadowvale and Port Credit, and a great many of those taxpayers carry a tax problem they have been putting off, unfiled corporate returns, rental or foreign income that was never reported, HST that was collected but not remitted, or a T1135 that should have been filed years ago. The CRA's Voluntary Disclosures Program exists for exactly this, and on October 1, 2025 the CRA changed it to make coming forward easier and more worthwhile.
Under the updated rules, an unprompted disclosure filed before the CRA reaches you gives 100% penalty relief and 75% interest relief, and being contacted no longer automatically shuts you out. The tax itself is always payable, but the penalties and much of the interest can fall away, and prosecution is taken off the table. We manage every part of this remotely, wherever you are. For the full rules, please read our Voluntary Disclosures Program guide, or see all our Windsor CPA services.

We disclose unreported foreign income and file the outstanding T1135 foreign property statements.
GST/HST Disclosures
We correct unremitted or under-reported HST under GST/HST Memorandum 16-5-1 as part of the disclosure.

Voluntary Disclosures Handled by a Licensed CPA
Every step done correctly the first time, from confirming eligibility to filing with the CRA. Flat fee quoted upfront, including HST.
Confirming Eligibility and the Relief Tier
Getting your position right before anything is filed.
- We confirm the disclosure is voluntary, complete and at least one year overdue.
- We determine whether general relief (unprompted) or partial relief (prompted) applies.
- We check the exclusions for taxpayers under audit, investigation or egregiously non-compliant.
- We confirm the tax types involved, income tax, GST/HST or information returns.
- You get a clear answer on whether to proceed and what relief to expect.
Unfiled Income Tax Returns
Bringing outstanding T1 or T2 years current.
- We reconstruct the bookkeeping and records for each unfiled year.
- We prepare every affected year, because a disclosure must be complete, not selective.
- We calculate the tax, and the penalties and interest that the relief will reduce.
- We assemble the years into a single disclosure package for the CRA.
- For businesses, this regularises the whole corporate backlog at once.
Unreported Foreign Income and T1135
Correcting offshore assets and income.
- The CRA now receives extensive international financial information automatically.
- We disclose unreported foreign income and gains for the affected years.
- We prepare the outstanding T1135 Foreign Income Verification Statements.
- We present the offshore position completely so the relief is not put at risk.
- This closes exposure that the CRA is increasingly likely to find on its own.
GST/HST and Indirect Tax Disclosures
Fixing collected-but-unremitted HST.
- GST/HST disclosures fall under GST/HST Memorandum 16-5-1, updated in October 2025.
- We correct HST that was collected but not remitted, or under-reported.
- We prepare the corrected GST/HST returns for the affected periods.
- We file the indirect-tax disclosure alongside any income tax disclosure.
- Common for Windsor businesses that fell behind on remittances.
The RC199 Application
The disclosure itself, prepared correctly.
- We complete Form RC199, simplified under the 2025 changes, accurately.
- We attach the full supporting disclosure of what is being corrected and why.
- We include the estimated tax payment or a payment-arrangement request.
- We make sure every condition for a valid disclosure is satisfied.
- We file with the CRA and manage the correspondence that follows.
Tax, Payment and Remote Handover
Settling the balance, wherever you are.
- We calculate the tax owing across all disclosed years.
- Where you cannot pay at once, we request a CRA payment arrangement.
- We gather your information securely and file on your behalf.
- The whole engagement is handled remotely, so you need not attend in person.
- Everything is delivered through our secure TaxDome portal.
Windsor Voluntary Disclosure Results
Unfiled T2s, Windsor (Unprompted)
A Streetsville company had three years of unfiled T2 returns and was afraid to approach the CRA. Because it came forward before any CRA contact, we filed an unprompted disclosure, reconstructing the books and filing all three years, so penalties were relieved in full and the interest cut by 75%. The figures here are illustrative of the work we do, not a specific client file. Voluntary Disclosures Guide →
Unreported Foreign Income, Windsor
An individual in Meadowvale held an overseas account whose income had never been reported and whose T1135 had never been filed. We disclosed the foreign income and filed the outstanding T1135 statements before the CRA acted, securing general relief on an exposure it was likely to find. The figures here are illustrative of the work we do, not a specific client file. Get Started →
Unremitted HST, Windsor
A Cooksville business had collected HST for two years but never remitted it, and had received a CRA education letter. Because the disclosure was now prompted, we filed for partial relief, correcting the returns so penalties were relieved and 25% of the interest removed. The figures here are illustrative of the work we do, not a specific client file. Learn More →
Payment Arrangement, Windsor
A Port Credit owner wanted to disclose several unfiled years but could not pay the full balance at once. We filed the disclosure with a payment-arrangement request, so the CRA accepted the application and set up instalments while the penalty and interest relief still applied. The figures here are illustrative of the work we do, not a specific client file.

When the Voluntary Disclosures Program Applies
What relief you receive depends on whether you come forward before or after the CRA contacts you. We confirm your tier before filing.
| Situation | Relief Tier | What You Receive |
|---|---|---|
| You disclose before any CRA contact | General relief (unprompted) | 100% penalty relief and 75% interest relief |
| You disclose after a CRA education letter or third-party tip | Partial relief (prompted) | 100% penalty relief and up to 25% interest relief |
| You are already under audit or investigation | Generally excluded | VDP not available for that matter |
| The disclosure leaves out affected years | Not complete | Application can be rejected |
| The matter is less than one year overdue | Not yet eligible | Must be at least one year past due |
The window matters more than anything else. The program closes for a matter the moment the CRA contacts you about it, and general relief is only available while your disclosure is still unprompted. Please confirm your position with us, or read our Voluntary Disclosures Program guide for the full rules.
Filing Yourself vs CPA-Filed
You can apply yourself, but an incomplete or mistimed disclosure can be rejected, which removes the protection and exposes you. The value of a CPA is getting it right the first time.
| Item | Filing Yourself | CPA-Filed by Gondaliya CPA |
|---|---|---|
| Eligibility and tier | Often assumed, not confirmed | Confirmed against the 2025 rules before filing |
| Completeness | Years or issues often left out | Every affected year and tax type captured |
| Timing | Delay can drop you to partial relief | Filed promptly to protect the general tier |
| Tax calculation | Errors invite CRA scrutiny | Prepared accurately and defensibly |
| Payment | Full payment assumed | Payment arrangement requested where needed |
| If rejected | Exposure with no relief | Structured so the application holds |

10 Smart Voluntary Disclosure Strategies That Save You Money
| # | Strategy | Why It Saves You Money |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | File before the CRA contacts you | An unprompted disclosure secures 100% penalty and 75% interest relief. |
| 2 | Act the moment you spot the problem | Every week of delay risks the CRA reaching you first and cutting your relief. |
| 3 | Disclose every affected year | A complete disclosure holds, while a selective one can be rejected outright. |
| 4 | Include foreign income and T1135 | The CRA now gets offshore data automatically, so disclose before it finds you. |
| 5 | Correct GST/HST in the same disclosure | Bundling indirect tax under Memorandum 16-5-1 regularises everything at once. |
| 6 | Confirm eligibility before you file | A rejected application removes protection, so tier and exclusions matter first. |
| 7 | Request a payment arrangement | You can disclose without paying in full, keeping the relief while you pay over time. |
| 8 | Reconstruct the books properly | Accurate returns reduce the tax and avoid CRA scrutiny of the disclosure. |
| 9 | Use the simplified RC199 correctly | A complete, accurate RC199 avoids delays and protects the relief. |
| 10 | Capture everything the first time | The VDP is a one-time route, so a complete first disclosure avoids losing later relief. |
