This letter proposes an extra $742.00 of tax for 2024 and asks for a response by September 15. It is not a bill.
The tax office says the income on the 2024 return does not match what a payer reported to it directly. This notice sets out what the difference would come to if the tax office's records are right. It calls that amount proposed, which means it is not owed yet. The notice prints three ways to respond and says what happens if none of them arrives by September 15.
Example Revenue Authority: Notice CP2000, tax year 2024
A proposed change to a filed tax return, asking for a response. · From: Example Revenue Authority
- Proposed amount
- $742.00
- Respond by
- September 15
- Period covered
- Tax year 2024
- Reference to quote
- Notice CP2000, reference 2024-88-3121
Banks and other payers report the income they pay out to the tax office directly. One of those reports shows $3,100 of interest that does not appear on the 2024 return. If that figure is right, the extra tax comes to $742.00, and the notice says interest is already included in it. The notice calls the amount proposed and says a response is due by September 15.
- Proposed additional tax$680.00
- The tax the authority says the unreported $3,100 would add.
- Interest to date$62.00
- Interest already built up on that amount, counted up to the date of the notice.

How to respond
What's in the fine print
- Proposed and assessed are two stages. The amount becomes final once the response date passes with no reply, or once it is agreed to.
- The $742.00 covers two things, and the notice breaks them down: $680.00 of tax and $62.00 of interest.
- Page 3 mentions a payment-plan option. The notice applies it only to balances that have become final.
Deep-dive questions for a tax professional
The notice cites $3,100 of interest income for 2024. Which payer and which account does that figure come from?
What this is asking: Where the mismatch started.
A clear answer covers: A payer name and an account or form reference.
Why it matters: The whole proposed change rests on that one reported figure.
Interest is shown as $62.00 to date. At what rate does it keep building after September 15?
What this is asking: What waiting costs.
A clear answer covers: A rate, and whether it applies to the tax only or to the whole balance.
Why it matters: The notice says interest keeps building but does not print the rate anywhere.
If documents are sent by September 15 disagreeing with the change, what happens to the $742.00 while they are looked at?
What this is asking: Whether the amount is on hold during a disagreement.
A clear answer covers: A clear statement of the status of the balance while the response is being reviewed.
Why it matters: The notice lists disagreement as an option without saying what the amount does in the meantime.
Reference 2024-88-3121. Does answering by the enclosed form or by phone make any difference to the September 15 date?
What this is asking: Whether the three routes carry the same deadline.
A clear answer covers: The same date honoured on all three routes, or a clear difference stated.
Why it matters: The notice prints three routes and one date, without saying whether they behave the same way.
