Tax Litigation and CRA Disputes

Our tax lawyers represent taxpayers (both individual and corporation) in all stages of the proceeding with the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) and in the Tax Court of Canada. We represent our clients during the CRA audits, draft Objections to Notices of Assessment (Notices of Reassessment), negotiate a payment plan, and appear before the Tax Court of Canada. Our lawyers have in-depth knowledge in Income Tax Act as well as GST/HST regime. Here are some of the interesting articles that our lawyers wrote on tax litigation and CRA disputes.




Voluntary Disclosure and Unreported Income

Our tax lawyers help clients complete the Voluntary Disclosure Program (VDP). In so doing, the taxpayer would voluntarily correct inaccurate or incomplete information on previous tax returns and/or disclose unreported income that was not shared with the CRA previously. By participating in the Voluntary Disclosure Program, taxpayers can avoid the fear of being audited by the CRA and criminally prosecuted. In addition, the taxpayer will not be subject to penalties and interests which would otherwise have been imposed by the CRA. It is imperative for the taxpayer to consult with a tax lawyer when considering the Voluntary Disclosure Program because the taxpayer would often deal with highly confidential documents. Often, inappropriate disclosure (or insufficient disclosure) may result in unanticipated penalties and interests even after the completion of the Voluntary Disclosure Program. Here are some of the interesting articles that our lawyers wrote on voluntary disclosure and unreported income.
