The Assessment You Are Objecting To
Filing preserves your right of objection. The 180-day clock under the Taxation Act 2007 (and parallel provisions in the other MOF-administered statutes) runs from the date the Notice of Assessment / Reassessment / Statement of Disallowance was mailed or personally delivered. IFTA assessments have a tighter 30-day window. If you missed the deadline, an extension up to 1 year is possible on a showing of impossibility.
This letter will cite
Taxation Act 2007 (S.O. 2007, c.11 Schedule A) — primary objection framework; parallel objection provisions in Employer Health Tax Act, Retail Sales Tax Act, Fuel Tax Act, Gasoline Tax Act, Tobacco Tax Act, Mining Tax Act, Land Transfer Tax Act; LSO By-Law 4 (UPL framing for self-represented filers).
Your letter is the substantive equivalent of any required notice-of-objection form and identifies the assessment, the disputed amount, the grounds, and the relief sought. MOF will accept the letter via online portal, mail, fax, or in-person delivery to any MOF tax office.
180-day clock under most MOF statutes. IFTA: 30 days. Extension to 1 year is possible under the relevant statute's extension provision on a showing of impossibility.
Total of tax + interest + penalty you are contesting. If you accept part of the assessment, state the unchallenged portion in the narrative.
