The Voluntary Disclosures 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 lawyers ensure that the correct procedures are followed, and that your voluntary disclosure is not denied on unfair grounds.
Book a free consultationIf 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 lawyers 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.
Book a free consultationWhen 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 lawyers can help you prepare and submit an application to CRA that maximizes your chances of being granted taxpayer relief.
Book a free consultationInterest 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.
