RESULTS

2,500 claims. $65 million recovered.

Most firms in this business can tell you what the rules are. Fewer can tell you what happens when you actually file — which claims get reviewed, what an appeals officer responds to, and where the CRA pushes back.
 
That knowledge comes from volume. Here’s ours.

Every one of those claims was a household or an investor who was owed money and needed someone to go and get it.
 I was a client of Michael’s when I engaged him to assist with the home construction HST rebate. I found Michael very organized & professional and was impressed with the speed at which they submitted our forms. We received our payment much faster than we expected.
 
Most other companies performing this service want a huge chunk of your return for their work – Sproule & Associates is by far the best price I found for this work and I would recommend them to anyone.

Very glad to have found Sproule & Asociates through Google search, and am very happy with the service from them. I needed support with housing rebate, and working with Michael, it was a very organized, streamlined, easy to follow application process. Sproule had the best offer in terms of cost of support, and I had spoken to multiple similar companies before finding them.
 
Michael was timely in communicating with me, keeping me informed on next steps and timeliness, and very professional in handling all the documentation work. We were successful in our application thanks to his diligence. Would definitely recommend Sproule & Associates for housing rebate applications.

Very quick response and clear directions for the part of the process which was needed from me. Made it effortless and was reffered to me by a friend and I will pass on the referrel.

Michael was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. His service is well worth the fee. I was able to get my refund cheque with weeks of submission.

I recently used Michael and his company to process my major house renovation HST rebate. The process was very simple and their communication was great throughout the process. In the end I received the full rebate amount with a quick turnaround. I would highly recommend using a 3rd party company to process your rebate application and would definitely suggest using Sproule & Associates.

Michael came highly recommended to me and I was not disappointed! He was professional and efficient and very easy to work with. The process was so smooth and my rebate was received much quicker than I expected. His services are well worth the fee he charges!

The kinds of claims we handle

  • First-time buyers who closed before the rebate became law and had to claim directly from the CRA
  • Landlords who paid the full HST at closing because no builder can credit a rental rebate
  • Owner-builders with two years of invoices and no idea where to start
  • Substantial renovations where the 90% test had to be documented rather than asserted
  • Multi-unit investors where the rebate is determined per unit, not per building
  • Denied claims filed by other firms, or by the owner, that we objected and won

We also tell people no

Not every enquiry becomes a claim. Substantial renovation in particular — the threshold is high, and most renovations don’t meet it.
 
We say so at the free assessment stage, before anyone has paid anything.
 
That’s not modesty. A firm that tells you what you want to hear at the assessment stage will tell the CRA the same thing at the filing stage, and the CRA is harder to persuade. The assessments where we say no are part of why the ones where we say yes are worth something.

Who does the work
