Notice Of Assessment - Noa for short
A Notice of Assessment form is usually a 1 or 2 page form (normally light blue in color) that Revenue Canada sends back to you as a summary of your received Tax Return. It will either contain a refund cheque or a bill for your outstanding taxes for the previous tax year. It will include the date, your full name, SIN number, tax year and tax centre clearly indicated in the top row of the page.
