Mississauga Tax Lawyers
Navigating today’s ever-shifting tax policies is no mean feat. Our team offers tailored solutions to protect your assets, reduce your tax burden and deliver concrete results.
Taxation has a massive impact on our personal and professional lives. No endeavour should be embarked on without first considering its tax implications and planning accordingly. Whether you are starting a new business, restructuring your assets, planning your estate or need defending against a tax audit, our lawyers will ensure you are taxed fairly. We can help you implement a tax structure adapted to your reality, get the tax benefits you are entitled to and challenge the tax authorities when they are erroneous. With us, taxation no longer needs to be taxing.
A dispute with the tax authorities can cause tremendous stress for taxpayers. By proactively contacting one of our lawyers in this area, you can minimize both your tax exposure and your stress. For some time, we have been witnessing a significant increase in disputes between taxpayers and the tax authorities. Whether you are a corporation or an individual, our tax lawyers can advise and defend you in a wide range of tax issues such as tax fraud (criminal and penal law), GST, HST and QST, tax audits of all kinds (including contestations of direct and indirect audit methods), Scientific Research and Experimental Development credits (SR&ED), as well as contentious cases relating to various issues such as specific anti-avoidance rules, the general anti-avoidance rule (GAAR), deductions at source (DAS) and tax collections.
We also regularly guide clients through verifications, investigations and searches in the context of cases relating to the Permanent Anti-Corruption Unit (UPAC). We also routinely represent clients in contentious claims to obtain authorization from the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) and the Autorité des Marchés Publics (AMP) to bid on public contracts and to obtain various attestations from Revenu Québec. Our lawyers have extensive expertise in this area and regularly teach tax litigation courses at some of Quebec’s major universities. Whether you are in the tax audit phase, the objection process or even appealing before the tax courts, our experienced lawyers can help resolve your case as quickly and as favourably as possible.
Tax rules are constantly evolving, and your business needs to stay up to speed and adapt to the changing landscape of taxation. Optimizing your corporate structure often brings substantial benefits. A well-planned tax restructuring allows you to preserve and even maximize your business’s value by reducing your tax burden and giving you access to various tax benefits. Tax restructuring can include various components such as incorporating a management company, integrating a trust, introducing new shareholders, reshuffling shares or transferring assets. A specialized lawyer can help meticulously analyze your situation and propose a strategy tailored to your specific needs. Tax restructuring is also essential when purchasing or selling a business. Our lawyers use their tax expertise to make sure all parties can benefit from available tax advantages.
Christopher Vernet Law Office’s Mississauga Tax Lawyers can help represent and steer you through the complicated processes of statutory or court-appointed guardianships, or of holding to account those persons who are appointed as guardians to ensure that they act with integrity, probity, and competence.
