Tax Dispute Resolution
In most cases, settlements can be reached at the audit or objections stage without the need to file an appeal before the Tax Court. In that contexte, our experience has been that an in-depth understanding of the internal procedures of the tax authorities, both at the District Office and Head Office levels, and the maintaining of key contacts are instrumental in adopting and implementing the right settlement strategies. Despite reasonable efforts, a settlement cannot be reached in all cases. In those instances, the firm represents a number of taxpayers before the federal and provincial tax courts, at first instance and on appeal. Even at the appeal level, settlements are ontained in the majority of cases without a trial being required.
