Let’s set the record straight about what a VDP is and, more important, is NOT.

In 2006, when the CRA shifted the VDP program from the jurisdiction of the Appeals Division into Enforcement – otherwise known as the Tax Police – as experienced tax litigation lawyers, we realized that a voluntary disclosure had suddenly become a trap for extracting incriminating information from unwary tax delinquents.

That’s when DioGuardi created our own unique approach that turns a VDP into the true legal protection of a DioGuardi Tax Amnesty.

In no time at all, the internet was filled with a swarm of tax lawyers and accountants who, without really knowing what we do, represented that they, too, could resolve your tax problems with a tax amnesty.

All you have to do, they say, is file a simple application and PRESTO! No prosecution.  No penalties.  No problem.
