Calgary Tax Lawyers

Calgary tax lawyers are the men and women lawyers of Calgary who handle all the tax law situations in and around Calgary.  They often work very closely with the accountants. 

Taxation is – as they say – one of the two certainties of the human experience.  Taxation involves the collection of tax on income, real or personal property acquired through personal, professional and corporate effort. In addition to income tax, source deduction tax, employment tax, sales tax, inheritance tax, capital gains tax, property tax, municipal taxes, value added tax, goods and services (GST) tax and other forms of taxation.

In addition, taxes can be imposed by different levels of government – be they federal, provincial, civic or other. 

Taxes can be personal or corporate.

Taxes can be domestic (within Canada) or foreign (outside of Canada). 

Generally speaking, the more income and assets that an individual (or company) has, the more complicated the tax law becomes.

Tax lawyers are very often involved once a situation (usually with the tax authorities such as the Canada Revenue Agency or CRA) has reached a confrontational or adversarial level.  However a great deal of tax lawyer work is done in counseling and advising people on day to day aspects of their tax situations in order to help avoid adversarial situations.  They provide on going tax advice.

Some of the areas that tax lawyers deal with are:

• personal tax,
• corporate tax,
• gst issues,
• examinations,
• audits,
• tax avoidance issues,
• collection issues,
• negotiations,
• appearances in tax court,
• tax litigation,
• offshore tax issues,
• CRA (Canada Revenue Agency),
• tax related court cases

Tax lawyers are often involved in wills, estates and trusts matters, and also when estate planning is being done.

You will also find tax lawyers involved in corporate reorganizations or mergers and acquisitions and the sale of one company to another and refinancing situations and joint ventures.  Generally, tax lawyers give people and companies recommendations and suggestions with respect to the most effective means of dealing with their overall tax situations.  Once of the goals of such advice is to lessen the amount of tax owed by the taxpayer through legal means. 

Tax lawyers typically provide advice and legal representation to a wide range of clients, from individuals to privately owned companies to institutions to publicly owned corporations and charities and associations.

Tax audits are sometimes conducted by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) or other tax-collecting authorities to determine if a taxpayer, whether a single individual or a business entity, has paid the correct amount of tax. Tax audits will frequently create a demand for a tax lawyer’s services.  In such a situation the tax lawyer will sort out and assess the complications brought about by your audit and tax issues.

On an on going basis, Calgary tax lawyers can help to explain the tax law and how it may apply to your situation.  As well a tax lawyer can help to keep a client updated and well-versed about the changes made in the tax law and how the changes could affect the client. Canadian tax laws change and become more complex yearly. A Calgary tax lawyer can help you with this.

If you find yourself in any of the following situations, you should probably call a tax lawyer:

• You have received a “Demand to File
• You are subject to collection action, possibly including liens on your property, wage garnishment, seized bank accounts, third party payment demands etc.
• You have received a Reassessment that you don’t agree with,
• There is a Dispute over Tax Owing,
• You are subject to an Audit or are already being Audited,
• You find yourself unable to pay your taxes.

It is entirely lawful and sensible to arrange one's business and personal affairs so as to attract the lowest possible amount of tax.  A good tax lawyer can help you accomplish this.

Calgary tax lawyers must be registered and in good standing with the Law Society of Alberta.

Many Calgary tax lawyers also belong to the Taxation subsection of the Alberta branch of the Canadian Bar Association.

It is important, in considering who your Calgary tax lawyer is going to be, that you select one that is practical, experienced and knowledgeable of exactly how things work.  They should have an office in Calgary which is staffed full time and has been there for some time.
