Tax Dispute
Resolution
We Have The Experience
We understand that tax issues with Canada Revenue Agency involve both legal and non-legal considerations. Whether you are an individual, business, or an accountant acting on their behalf – if you disagree with a Notice of Reassessment, have unreported income or unfiled tax returns, or are being audited, dealing with these tax problems should include the use of experienced tax specialists who understand how to get you the best results.
Voluntary Disclosure Program
The Voluntary Disclosure Program was implemented by CRA to give taxpayers a “second chance” and allow them to bring their unreported income, unremitted GST/HST, offshore assets, or other tax issues onside of the law if CRA has not yet discovered it. Our tax specialists ensure that the correct procedures are followed, and that your voluntary disclosure is not denied on unfair grounds.
Tax Audit
If you have been selected for audit or issued a Notice of Reassessment by CRA, we will work with you and your accountant or bookkeeper to obtain the best result. Our tax specialists ensure that your rights are respected by CRA, that you do not pay more tax than is required by law, and that penalties (such as gross negligence penalties) are not inappropriately assessed against you.
Taxpayer Relief Applications
When issues that are out of your control make it impossible to comply with tax requirements, CRA can grant relief through the Taxpayer Relief Provisions of the Income Tax Act. The potential taxpayer relief includes the waiver or cancellation of penalties and interest, an extension of the filing deadline for making certain elections, authorizing a refund despite a return being filed outside the typical limitations period, or authorizing a reassessment despite the adjustment being filed outside the typical limitations period. Our tax specialists can help you prepare and submit an application to CRA that maximizes your chances of being granted taxpayer relief.
CRA Collections
Interest on a tax debt owing to CRA is often a small concern compared to the collection actions that CRA may attempt to take. CRA can and will freeze your bank accounts, garnish your income from suppliers or employers, and place a lien on your home. Our tax lawyers can help you create a plan to deal with your taxes owing and negotiate with CRA on your behalf to prevent collection actions from taking place.
Notice of Objection
If you have been assessed by the CRA and disagree with the amount of taxes and penalties owing, we can help by filing a Notice of Objection. There are deadlines for filing a Notice of Objection so it’s important not to delay. We will work with the CRA on your behalf to get the right the result.
