Frequently asked questions
Before a decision or a notice
What should I do if I received a summons or assessment from the SII?
To assess your inquiry, we need to identify the action received, its notification date, and the matter under review. Please provide those general details in the form; we will then coordinate the review of the necessary documents.
How much time do I have to respond or file a claim?
The deadline must be reviewed according to the action and its notification. There is no single answer for every inquiry. Please indicate the date shown on the document and any upcoming due date so that our firm can assess the situation.
