Voluntary Disclosures

The Voluntary Disclosures Program grants relief on a case by case basis to taxpayers who voluntarily come forward to fix errors or omissions in their tax filings before the CRA understands or recognizes the error or omission and makes contact or takes punitive action. If a Voluntary Disclosures Program application is accepted by the Canada Revenue Agency, taxpayers will have to pay the taxes owing, plus interest, in part or in full. However, taxpayers would be eligible for relief from tax prosecution and, in some cases, from penalties that they would otherwise be subject to under the legislation.

We review your situation based on the requirements of the Canada Revenue Agency and put forth a detailed Voluntary Disclosure Program application that works in your best interest, in conjunction with tax filings prepared by your accountant.

Director Liability Assessments

In general, a Director Liability assessment is designed to hold a director personally responsible for the amount of trust funds owing to the Federal Government. In our initial free consultation, we will review your circumstances and advise as to whether or not you may have a defence against a Director Liability assessment.

With respect to Section 227 of the Income Tax Act, trust funds consist of source deductions taken from employees to be remitted to various government programs such as the Canadian Pension Plan and Employment Insurance. With respect to Section 323 of the Excise Tax Act, trust funds consist of unremitted or unpaid GST/HST taxes collected as a function of the company’s sales.

At Stonebridge Tax Resolutions, we have tried and true strategies to deal with such assessments and get you the best possible outcome.

Service Complaints

If, in dealing with the CRA, you feel that you are being treated harshly, unprofessionally, or without compassion or cooperation, you may have grounds for a Service Complaint. We have the experience and means to submit an effective, concise and cohesive service complaint as your representatives. In a collections situation, such a complaint could result in an "attitude adjustment" by the Collector, the removal of the Collector from your file, or other actions to deal with the Collections Officer.

These are some of the additional services we at Stonebridge Tax Resolutions can help you with when dealing with the CRA. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation so we can get started on finding the right solution for you.
