I am writing in reply to your letter of April 6, 1990, concerning your request for review of 19(1) income tax situation. I apologize for the delay of my reply.
While I appreciate 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.
Mrs. Mary Evans, a departmental officer, is handling 19(1) file. Your constituent may wish to contact Mrs. Evans directly to discuss this matter. Mrs. Evans may be contacted by telephoning (613) 957-9229 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 he will receive the utmost consideration possible in the resolution of his case.
Yours sincerely,
Otto Jelinek
