How long a refund takes is set by the CRA, not by the preparer. The CRA’s published service standard is about two weeks for an electronically filed return and about eight weeks for a paper return, if the return is not selected for a review. Direct deposit is faster than a cheque once the return is assessed. Kennedy Tax & Accounting Inc. e-files from its Scarborough office, which is the faster of those two paths.
Why a refund can be late
A return is late to assess when a slip does not match what the CRA already has, when information is missing, or when the return is pulled for review. The firm cannot move a return inside the CRA. It can answer the CRA’s letter if you are a client, and it can explain how the return was prepared.
