LOPRESTI LAW

 

 

Taxpayer Representation & Litigation
 

If you have been audited by the CRA, or received a Notice of (Re)Assessment with which you do not agree, your first step is to file a Notice of Objection. We can assist you with preparing your Notice of Objection.
 

If your Objection results in a varied Reassessment or Confirmation, then we have the option to file an appeal with the Tax Court of Canada.
 

While LoPresti Law aims to settle before incurring costs associated with going to court, some tax issues do end up in court. If you are dissatisfied with a CRA decision, LoPresti Law will ensure you are well prepared at each step of the litigation process required at the hearing of your appeal.
 

There are two types of Tax Court procedures: (1) the Informal Procedure (where the federal tax at issue is less than $25,000 per year); and (2) the General Procedure (where the federal tax in dispute is over $25,000).

For the Informal Procedure, LoPresti Lawʼs representation would include preparing your Notice of Appeal, ascertaining the prospects of a settlement with the government, preparing for trial and attendance at court if necessary.

For the General Procedure, our representation would include the same steps as above, as well as preparing a list of documents, orchestrating examinations for discovery, and addressing any procedural matters that may arise.

We are experienced in complex tax matters and will provide you with effective counsel in preparing and delivering your case before the Canada Revenue Agency’s appeals division and through the Tax Court appeals process. If you require representation, or think you may have a matter for the Canada Revenue Agency or the Tax Court of Canada, do not delay in contacting us for representation as time limitations do apply.
