When the CRA Calls, We Answer.
At Taxpayer Law, we handle one thing - tax disputes. CRA audits, appeals, and Tax Court of Canada cases are all we do. Our seasoned lawyers cut through complexity, anticipate issues before they arise, and fight for your best outcome.
Clear guidance. Strong advocacy. Proven results.
Our Legal Services
We help Canadians resolve tax problems with the CRA - from the first audit letter to Tax Court - quickly, strategically, and with business sense.
Audit
From the first request for information to closing the file, we manage the audit so you don’t have to. We handle all CRA communications, control deadlines, prepare clean, persuasive submissions, and push back on overbroad requests—aiming to end the audit early and on favourable terms.
CRA Appeals
Disagree with a reassessment? We file a strategic, well‑supported Notice of Objection within strict deadlines, build the record, and position the case to settle at Appeals - or be trial‑ready if needed. We also seek to pause collections where permitted by law.
Tax Court of Canada
We try to resolve matters without trial, but we prepare every file as if it will go to court. We select the right procedure (Informal or General), draft pleadings, conduct discoveries, negotiate resolution, and advocate at hearing to reduce or eliminate the assessed tax, penalties, and interest.
Voluntary Disclosure Program
If you need to correct past non‑compliance, we guide you through the VDP to reduce penalties and manage risk. We assess eligibility, prepare a complete, accurate disclosure, and handle every interaction with CRA -confidentially and end‑to‑end.
