How to fax a letter to the tax office

Tax offices handle much online, yet objections, installment plans and certain corrections still require a signed letter. If you can’t visit in person, fax is the fastest way to get your letter registered the same day.

Prepare before sending

Your letter must include your tax ID, the office you are registered with, the subject of your request and your contact details. Missing information is the most common reason letters are not processed.

1. 1
   Identify the right tax office

   The letter must go to the office where you are registered. You can check which office that is through the online tax portal.
2. 2
   Prepare and sign the letter

   Use the template below. Keep the subject line specific: "Objection to payment order", "Installment request". List attachments with page counts.
3. 3
   Call to confirm the records fax number

   Call the office’s records unit to confirm the fax number and which department will handle your request. Numbers vary by province.
4. 4
   Send the fax and request a registry number

   Call back 1–2 hours later to get your document registry number — you will need it for follow-up.
5. 5
   Mail the original if required

   For some procedures the fax counts as pre-registration and the original is required within 3 days. Ask when confirming; send by registered mail if needed.
