If we do not approve your form, we will send you a letter to explain why your application was denied. Check your copy of the form against the reason given, since we base our decision on the information provided by the qualified practitioner.
If you have additional information from a qualified practitioner that we did not have in our first review of the form, send that information to the Disability Tax Credit Unit at your tax centre and we will review your file again.
You also have the right to file a formal objection to appeal the decision. Objections, however, cannot be based on a letter from us. They must be based on a Notice of Assessment or Notice of Reassessment. We send you these notices after you file an income tax return or ask for a correction to an income tax return for the year in question.
There is a time limit for filing objections. You must file your objection by whichever of the following dates comes later:
Note
Asking your tax centre to review your file again does not extend the time limit for filing an objection.
If you choose to file a formal objection, your file will be reviewed by the Appeals Branch. You should send either a completed Form T400A, Objection - Income Tax Act, or a letter, to the attention of:
Chief of Appeals
Sudbury Tax Services Office
1050 Notre-Dame Avenue
Sudbury ON P3A 5C1
You may also file an objection electronically using My Account.
