Hi , I fell behind in doing my taxes for many years ( 2003 thru 2009 ) but I wasn't concerned since I had a good job and always received a tax refund at the of the year. I even bought ~ $3000- to 5000 in RRSP's each year to make sure I would be getting money back and didn't owe the government more money each year.
I fell behind for many reasons mostly due to my wife and both parents being in the hospital mulitiple times each for life threatening problems . Oblivously I just also put off doing my taxes even when times were calmer. But I knew I wasn't required by law to file since they never demanded it and I didn't owe them any more money.
I recently completed all my returns and have recieved refunds for each and every year so I'm up to date now.
In 2004 our company was sold in mid May and the new company re-started our CPP and EI as if we all just got hired. This resulted in me over paying my CPP and EI past the limit by about $1400 combined. On my Notice of Assessment for that year they stated there was a time limit to receive those over paid funds. ( 3 years for one and 4 years for the other ).
So they acknowledged that I over-paid but are using that 3 and 4 year rule. If I under-paid I bet they would want it with interest and penaties.
This just doesn't fair especially when I was under no legal obligation to file.
so my question is "Has the CPP and EI time limits for refunds of over-payments by an employee ever been challeged in court ? "
any repies would be appreicated - thanks
