Sorry for the redundancy as I’ve posted it to the r/JETProgramme already but thought I might find some help here too.

>Whoopie a year later CRA has reassessed my 2021 taxes and I now owe XXXX amount to them because I didn’t provide the correct documents/translation. I don’t know if the process has changed or not but because this was peak COVID they preferred us to send our documents online (which I did).
* You did not send us the type(s) of foreign source income reported.
* You did not send us a statement from your employer (if a Pay as you earn tax system) or official
* documents (such as income slips) confirming the following information:
* \- the type and amount of income you received (employment, dividends, interest)
* \- the gross foreign income you received (before any foreign deductions, allowances, or credits)
* \- any expenses incurred attributable to the foreign income
* \- the amount of taxes withheld
>Anywho, they wanted translations for any of the supporting documents like the *Gensen Chōshū-Hyō* . I know the JET CANADA page provides an excel sheet translated for us where we can input our info, but is that enough ‘proof’ for the CRA?

>Do I have to find a separate translator and then go to the Embassy to have it notarized? (cause that is $$$$$$$). I looked into the Embassy of Canada to Japan, in Tokyo services and I didn’t see anything about translations (only notarial services) so I’m not sure if it’s sufficient enough? I’ll be resubmitting these documents online again if that makes the process any different.
​
>**TLDR:** CRA says I owe XXXX because of lack of documents and I need them translated and notarized.
* Is the *Gensen Chōshū-Hyō* translated enough ‘proof of documentation’ for CRA? What else should I have translated and sent?
* Is the *Gensen Chōshū-Hyō* translation/excel template on the JET CANADA website sufficient enough to count for CRA?
* If NO to all of the above; where can I find someone who can translate and have documents notarized so CRA will accept them…?

To translate the 源泉徴収書should be easy enough using the translation pdf the JET site provides. Sounds like if you translate that , it should suffice , as that is essentially the Japanese T4. However, whether it needs to be notorized or not would depend on The CRA. I don’t think it would need to be but then again, I don’t work for the CRA
