Tax lawyer Philippe DioGuardi explains the fallacy of this argument and why the DioGuardi Amnesty approach prevents you from falling into the tax trap these ‘gurus’ can lead you into. Find out why and free yourself.

DioGuardi Tax Amnesty goes beyond VDP to provide true legal protection from prosecution and penalties.
February 5th, 2010DioGuardi 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.
