Experienced Tax Controversy Representation
Our Tax Controversy Group has experience protecting the rights of taxpayers in their dealings with CRA. As soon as the CRA starts to audit an individual or a business, it is creating a record which can be used against the taxpayer to assess liability for taxes.
We advise clients from the initial audit stage to the CRA appeal process.
CRA Audits
As soon as the CRA starts to audit an individual or a business, it is creating a record which can be used against the taxpayer to assess liability for taxes. We advise clients from the initial audit stage, helping manage the process and protect their interests.
Tax Appeals
We represent clients through the CRA appeal process. Prior to a trial, we negotiate with the Department of Justice counsel to reach a fair settlement. This representation is essential to counteract the record created by the CRA during the audit process.
Voluntary Disclosure
We assist clients when they have to deal with the CRA on matters such as Voluntary Disclosure of taxes to be paid, and requests for cancellation of interest and penalties.
Directors’ Liability
We assist clients when the CRA is collecting amounts through means such as garnishments and directors’ liability assessments.
Tax Court Representation
We represent clients at the Tax Court of Canada and the Federal Court. Our experience helps achieve favourable outcomes in tax litigation.
