Why Commodity Tax Audits are Beneficial
Comprehensive and Cost-effective
A tax rebate audit is the most efficient way to ensure your Nation’s transactions have been properly reviewed for all eligible GST/HST rebates. At Refund Associates, we use specialized tools and proven techniques to audit 100% of your financial data—so nothing is missed, and no opportunity is left behind.
Shared Knowledge Base
Since 1992, we’ve worked exclusively with First Nations communities across Canada. With hundreds of successful audits completed, we've consistently uncovered substantial refunds and credits. These are funds that rightfully belong to your Nation—and our mission is to help bring them home.
Timing Matters—Don’t Let Rebates Expire
Tax refunds have a shelf life. Many valuable refund opportunities expire if not claimed in time. We go back through your past accounts' payable files, applying updated tax rules, exemptions, and entitlements—even those that didn’t exist when the original transactions took place. If we file before they become statute-barred, we can recover those funds for your community.
Minimal Staff Distruptions
We understand how busy your staff are. That’s why our process is designed to be as seamless as possible. Our auditors handle all documentation and typically need just 5–10 minutes of your time to get started. From there, we work independently, with minimal interruption to your day-to-day operations.
No Refund, No Fee
Our services are 100% contingency based. If we don’t recover money for your Nation, you don’t owe us a cent. There are no upfront fees, and we cover all our own travel and staffing costs. This is a zero-risk opportunity to bring much-needed funding back into your community.
