At Fiszman Tax Law, we specialize in taxpayer relief and litigation, assisting individuals in Ottawa who are facing penalties or disputes with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Our services focus on two main areas: helping you obtain relief from penalties and representing you in tax disputes.
Checking If You Qualify: We begin by evaluating your situation to determine if you are eligible for a reduction or cancellation of penalties. This assessment considers special circumstances such as unexpected events, errors made by the CRA, or any financial hardships you may be experiencing.
Preparing Your Application: Our team assists in gathering all necessary documents and completing the required forms to request relief. This process may include detailing your financial situation to strengthen your case.
Telling Your Story: We help craft a clear and detailed explanation of why you deserve relief. This involves outlining any hardships you've faced, health issues, or mistakes made by the CRA. We compile all supporting documents, such as medical notes or proof of financial strain, to bolster your request.
Challenging CRA Decisions: If you disagree with the CRA's assessment of your taxes, we can file an objection on your behalf. This initiates the formal dispute process. Our experts prepare a comprehensive explanation of why the CRA's decision may be incorrect, using factual evidence and applicable tax laws.
Requesting Further Reviews: Should the initial objection not resolve the issue, we can request an additional review by a different CRA official. This provides an opportunity to present new information or arguments that were not previously considered.
Taking It to Court: If satisfactory resolution is not achieved through CRA reviews, we are prepared to represent you in the Federal Court. We handle all legal documentation and advocate on your behalf to challenge the CRA's decision.
Negotiating Settlements: Throughout the entire process, we engage in negotiations with the CRA aiming to reach an agreement that benefits you. Leveraging our expertise in tax law and understanding of your unique situation, we strive to reduce your tax liabilities and penalties as much as possible.
Please include any letters or relevant documents when you schedule your consultation.
