Improper input tax credit (ITC) documentation is one of the main reasons for GST/HST reassessments. Proper invoices to support ITCs are required by Canada Revenue Agency auditors. For example, the input tax credit may be disallowed if only the credit card slip is provided rather than the actual invoice.
