If you think the Canada Revenue Agency got the facts wrong or applied tax law incorrectly, you can file an objection. This includes decisions on benefits and credits such as the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit, the Canada child benefit and the disability tax credit. If the CRA agrees, it adjusts your return and sends a new notice.
