Why Tax Law Matters for Your Business
Mastering tax law is no easy feat, but it is vital for business success as governments globally continue to implement stricter tax regulations and reporting standards. Every transaction has tax implications, and with globalization, tax planning has become even more complex.
Tailored Legal Tools and Tax Structures
We utilize different legal tools and structures, such as trusts, holdings, freezes and roll-overs, to minimize tax implications. From personal to family and corporate matters, we provide tailor-made solutions to meet your specific needs. Our legal opinions and litigation services extend to matters before the Superior Court of Quebec, the Tax Court of Canada and the Federal Court of Appeal.
Our team specializes in helping companies and corporate clients manage their tax complexities. We offer services such as :
- Corporate tax planning – Optimize your company’s tax situation while complying with regulations.
- Estate tax planning – Implement strategies such as freezes and transfers to secure your family’s financial future.
- Tax litigation – Resolve disputes effectively, whether through out-of-court settlement or representation in court.
- Tax planning for mergers and acquisitions (business transfers & takeovers) – Ensure that transactions run smoothly and minimize tax liabilities.
- Setting up and managing trusts – Create and manage trusts to protect the value of your assets or multiply your capital gains exemption.
In addition to these services, we can provide guidance on the Voluntary Disclosure Program. This initiative allows taxpayers to correct inaccuracies or disclose previously undeclared information to the Canada Revenue Agency or Revenue Québec without fear of penalty or prosecution. We regularly assist clients with CRA audits, tax credit claims, and dispute resolution involving federal and provincial tax authorities.
In the event of a dispute, we’re here to help. Whether submitting briefs to tax policymakers or negotiating agreements with tax authorities, our expertise ensures your interests are well represented. When necessary, we litigate to obtain favourable results. Our corporate law firm represents clients in complex tax controversy matters and appeals before provincial and federal courts.
