DioGuardi Tax Amnesty – True Legal Protection

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 concept of Tax Amnesty.

DioGuardi Tax Amnesty is NOT simply a voluntary disclosure.

It goes beyond an administrative application for safe-passage with forgiveness of penalties and interest.

It is, instead, a serious confession of behaviour which is subject to prosecution under the Income Tax Act, submitted under the safeguard of solicitor-client privilege. And it is presented as a legal defense and a request for full exoneration of your actions.

By acknowledging the illegality of your actions and presenting your defense at the outset, DioGuardi is able to invoke your rights against self-incrimination, and thus position you to move to exclude evidence revealed to the CRA, should you be prosecuted in the future for your non-fling or non-reporting.

An accountant can do no more than file your tax returns under the VDP program, leaving you exposed and vulnerable.

A lawyer who relies on the administrative approach of the VDP program exposes you to the same risk.

DioGuardi Tax Amnesty offers true legal protection.
