Tax Litigation
Tax Disputes and Litigation
We Represent Private Companies and Entrepreneurs in Disputes with the CRA
The core of our service offering is responding to CRA decisions that put our clients at risk—usually with assessments for large sums of money. We represent clients who have received an unfavourable audit decision or have not achieved the result they hoped through the CRA appeals process.
Our firm’s breadth of experience and focus on the owner-manager space means we’ve probably solved a problem exactly like yours before. We know how entrepreneurs think about tax disputes, and we know the high cost of distraction and uncertainty caused by a tax dispute as you focus on growing a business.
We are intensely pragmatic and won’t hesitate to give you an honest appraisal of your case and likely outcomes. At all times, we focus on early resolutions which protect your time and money.
Most tax cases are not wars and are not resolved at trial. Our firm generally has at least fifty active appeals to the Tax Court. This means we are in constant contact with the Department of Justice on a variety of matters and are well-positioned to negotiate an early resolution of your tax dispute.
How we help with Tax Litigation
It starts with a 30 minute free consultation to help us better understand the tax issues you’re dealing with.
It’s important to know that the vast majority of our cases are settled through negotiations with the Department of Justice and do not end up in a courtroom.
When you partner with us, we will begin by conducting a thorough review of all relevant documentation in order to identify discrepancies, errors and any incorrect applications of the law or CRA policy.
We will continuously support you and deal directly with the CRA or Department of Justice in an effort to achieve the best possible outcome for you.
If necessary, we will represent you at trial defending your interests before the Tax Court of Canada.
We will ensure you understand each step of the process and are frequently updated on the status of your file.
