Tax Litigation & Dispute Resolution
Tax disputes can be scary, costly and time consuming for most. The most common mistake people make
is the assumption that their accountant can offer the same protection as a lawyer when dealing
with the CRA. When dealing with the CRA, hiring a lawyer at an early stage ensures that client
communications are protected by solicitor-client confidentiality (whereas your accountant can
be compelled to provide information and/or testify against you, if not engaged by your lawyer
as an agent).
We can help you manage the audit process and represent you at every level of the tax audit, assessment,
objection and appeal process. We have the know-how to properly prepare Notices of Objection, Notices
of Appeal, respond to enquiries by the tax authorities. Whatever a client's tax dispute resolution
needs, we have the ability and capacity to either resolve the tax dispute or to effectively litigate
it before Tax Court.
We can help you with:
- CRA Tax Audits
- Tax Amnesty and Voluntary Disclosure Program (VDP)
- Tax Court of Canada Representation
- Unfair or Incorrect Tax Assessments or Reassessments
- Overwhelming Tax Debt
- CRA Collections Actions (example: bank account seizure, property lien, wage garnishment, etc...)
