Tax Appeals

If the CRA’s position is unreasonable, you have the right to have your day in court and receive fair treatment by a judge of the Tax Court. Often, this is all most taxpayers are asking for. Appealing a decision of the CRA to the Tax Court of Canada requires a lawyer with intimate knowledge of Canada’s complex tax laws and a thorough knowledge of practice and procedure throughout the pre-hearing period and then, if necessary, at the Tax Court of Canada.

Going to Tax Court requires a large personal and financial commitment. We will help you analyze your case frankly and with the benefit of our experience so that you can make an informed decision regarding whether you should proceed.

Our tax lawyers will draft effective pleadings and manage your case through the pre-hearing and hearing process. The process of making an appeal to the Tax Court of Canada can take a long time and having a focused and experienced lawyer on your side makes the entire process much easier to manage.

Our tax lawyers will advise you with respect to any settlement offers you receive and will help you understand the strengths and weaknesses of your case. We will engage the Department of Justice in settlement negotiations and where possible negotiate a settlement that is acceptable to you. Where settlement is not possible we will pursue your case to the Tax Court of Canada and argue your position vigorously.

You need a strong advocate with substantial tax knowledge to move your case forward. Our lawyers are the right people for you to call. Contact us and tell us about your tax appeal and put your appeal in our capable hands.
