Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I am evading taxes?

Although it may seem like this should be obvious, in some cases it is not. As an example, some of our clients had been receiving a pension from overseas. They were unaware that it is considered taxable income here in Canada. Many years had passed until they had learned about this which amounted to a large amount of taxes owing. Do not jeopardize your financial future, we can help evaluate your situation and expose any possible areas that may eventually cause grief in the future.

What sets you out from the other lawyers?

Be wary of engaging inexperienced lawyers to try to negotiate a tax amnesty on your behalf. Would you want the lawyer who drafted your will to be the only thing between you and a possible conviction for tax evasion? Our in depth, hands on experience helps you get the best settlement from the Canada Revenue Agency. We focus solely on tax law and are not detracted by other areas of law. In the case of difficult files we are able to deal with the highest levels within the Canada Revenue Agency's head office in Ottawa.

My accountant says he/she can obtain a tax amnesty for me. Is this true?

If you could be charged with a crime, would you call your accountant?

As with the commission of any other crime, you could approach the police and give them information or turn yourself in. Tax evasion is a serious crime and it is highly advisable to retain us to approach the Canada Revenue Agency anonymously to obtain a binding settlement before revealing your name. We cannot be compelled to provide your name or testify against you. To retain an accountant in these circumstances represents a serious risk as they can be forced to testify against you.
