Q. What is a Managed Audit?Answer:A managed audit is a variation on the traditional field audit. It’s an opportunity to come forward voluntarily and declare unreported or underreported income and pay back taxes owed without incurring penalty. In addition, interest is not assessed as long as the liability is paid in full within 180 days of assessment. Q. Who qualifies for a managed audit?Answer:
Anyone qualifies who has not filed a tax return, or who needs to report additional tax and has not received an audit engagement letter from the Taxation and Revenue Department (TRD). You may be disqualified for a managed audit if you:
- have an outstanding balance in the tax program you are applying for;- have received more than two non-filer notices from TRD, or
- are in the process of declaring bankruptcy or under current investigation for a tax-related criminal act.
