I am writing in reply to your letter of February 19, 1990, concerning the income tax affairs of your constituent, 19(1). I apologize for the delay of my reply.
While I appreciated 19(1) position, the Income Tax Act is very specific with regard to the time limit for reassessments and provides no discretion on properly assessed returns. However, I would mention that in certain circumstances relief may be granted under the provisions of the Financial Administration Act. Consideration of requests of this nature involves an extensive and fully objective review of the facts of the particular situation, and a careful evaluation of the merits of the request to ensure fair and uniform application of established criteria.
Mr. Don Lanos, a departmental officer, is handling 19(1) file. 19(1) may wish to contact Mr. Lanos directly to discuss this matter. Mr. Lanos may be contacted by telephoning (613) 957-9231 or by writing to the Publications Division, Technical Review Section, Revenue Canada, Taxation, 875 Heron Road, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0L8.
I wish to thank you for bringing 19(1) concerns to my attention. I wish to assure you that she will receive the utmost consideration in the resolution of her case.
Yours sincerely,
Otto Jelinek
