    Good morning Dave

    Still on the same issue.

    After 2 SE Q&A’s and sending reply to their offers, we were offered $1000 and the audit was declared finished.

    Our mail to them criss-crossed as we’d accidentally sent a reply back one week late! In that late reply we again asked them to read and rebut the Affidavit. They replied without mentioning our late reply and sent a cheque for $3600. They still have not mentioned the Affidavit. This cheque is still an offer?? We can write back saying that “Did you not read the Affidavit that supported my Tax Return? I will accept the offered cheque of $3600 once I see evidence that the information contained within my Affidavit was deficient or insufficient to address my claim for the return of my property being the withheld tax. I will return the cheque.”

    Send that or similar or just accept the cheque and count it a blessing that we’ve not been fined?

    Thank you for any reply
