Tax Law
Tax planning, CRA disputes, cross-border tax structuring.
In short
A CRA reassessment is not the last word. Most disputes are settled in the objection process, and what you do in the first thirty days after the notice arrives shapes everything that follows it. Speak to counsel before you reply, not after.
Not sure this is the right area? Tell us what is happening and we will point you to the one that fits.
Book ServicesCRA audit defence
Income tax, GST/HST, payroll and SR&ED audits: we handle the correspondence, control what goes out, and protect your rights.
Reassessments & objections
The legal and factual record built and argued before the CRA Appeals Division.
Voluntary disclosures
Unfiled returns, unreported income, offshore assets: the Voluntary Disclosures Program, approached properly and in full.
Tax Court litigation
Representation before the Tax Court of Canada and the Federal Court of Appeal when the CRA will not move.
Corporate tax planning
Holding structures, estate freezes, reorganisations and dividend planning, built to withstand a second look.
Cross-border & international tax
Treaty positions, residency questions, T1135 and FBAR reporting: compliance without paying twice.
Assessment or audit notice
The moment to call: before you reply, before you send documents, before you say anything at all.
Document review & strategy
We read the CRA's position in full, find where it is weak, and set the approach from there.
Objection or disclosure
A Notice of Objection or a voluntary disclosure filed with every fact supported and every requirement met.
Appeals & negotiation
Direct negotiation with the Appeals Officer, on the record, for a reduction, a cancellation or a settlement.
Tax Court of Canada
When the appeal does not resolve it, the case is argued in court: prepared, precedented and disciplined.
