- Many Canadian employers use staffing agencies to hire cheap temporary help, but the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has increased tax audits on these agencies.
- The audits revealed various types of fraud related to income tax and GST/HST, such as hiring off the books, not reporting bank accounts, and paying workers “under the table.” Our legal team at Jeremy Scott Law helps clients prepare for tax audits and navigate the process to avoid penalties.
- The CRA is focused on transactions between staffing agencies and their clients, uncovering instances of tax fraud.
- This includes false invoices and sham transactions to deceive tax authorities.
- Staffing agencies may also face criminal charges for improperly deducting expenses.
