The first rule of a Professional Accounting Practice ...

"Nobody is in a rush for the wrong answer."


- "Take advantage of every tax vehicle that you can, as long as the vehicle is a good investment in its own right." -


- "Real charity does not care if it is deductible or not." -


- "Be committed to your partners' well-being, and they'll be committed to yours." -

 


- "You have to be humble enough to make sure you don't get caught up in your own hype." -

Tax Pardon/Amnesty Services. Do you currently have any of the following problems... unreported income, unfiled tax returns for income tax (corporate or personal) or Goods & Services Tax (GST), unreported sources of foreign income, received a 'REQUEST TO FILE' or 'DEMAND TO FILE', assessed by notional or arbitrary assessments  from the Canada Revenue Agency, pending collection action by the Canada Revenue Agency or have been selected for AUDIT?

I can assist you in resolving these matters but IMMEDIATE action is required by you! The Income Tax Act contains numerous tools for the Canada Revenue Agency to levy interest, penalties and file criminal charges in some situations. Penalties can be as much as 50% of the tax owing! e.g. if you owe $10,000 in income tax, the penalty can be as much as $5,000 plus interest

Part of my approach is to keep you separate and away from Canada Revenue Agency officers and your communications and disclosure will be made directly to me. Start the prcess of becoming compliant with the law and stop looking over your shoulder and fretting every time you open your mail for the letter from the Canada Revenue Agency. Call me immediately to get the facts and make informed decisions as to the best course of action regarding your outstanding tax matters.

It it sometime believed that the Canada Revenue Agency has time limits by which to audit/reassess or pursue these matters. Generally there is no limitation where the matter involved a fraud or a misrepresentation by the taxpayer. Further, if no tax return has been filed, there is also no time limitation for the Canada Revenue Agency to adjust or reassess you.

 


Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and other regulatory bodies have expanded their audit efforts.
If you have been selected for an audit for Corporate Tax, Personal Tax, Payroll, GST, PST, WCB or other items, I can assist you. There are many issues be aware of relative to an audit and I strongly encourage all taxpayers to engage a qualified professional to assist in these circumstances. CRA's interpretation and position on matters is frequently incorrect and you are entitled to present your position before any Notice of Reassessment is issued. Further, you have rights of objection and appeal to the Tax Court of Canada subject to statutory time limitations. Let us take the worry off of your shoulders and handle the audit of your affairs for you. Call us for more details.

Dealing with fraud and financial investigations... Frequently the thought of being a victim of fraud can be embarrassing. Also, it may mean that internal controls that were thought to be tight and stringent have failed.

Our services include:

  • Fraud Investigation
  • Forensic Accounting

  • Computer Forensics

I have the technical skills, knowledge and hands-on experience necessary to investigate white collar crime and advise on managing and mitigating risk — including ways to identify and analyze vulnerabilities.
