Managing Canadian Indirect Tax Controversy - Part 2

Part 1 focused on managing indirect tax audits and auditors with the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) and the provincial sales tax (“PST”) provinces as well as strategies for dealing with assessments and sales tax debts and arrears owed to these governments. In this one-hour webinar however, we will delve into other indirect tax controversy matters in dealing with the CRA in connection with notices of objection to assessments as well as the CRA’s voluntary disclosure program (“VDP”).

David will cover the processes and steps to be taken in considering and filing notices of objection with the CRA in relation to GST/HST assessments or reassessments. Lastly, we will cover the voluntary disclosures processes related to GST/HST that may pre-empt an audit or otherwise disclose material errors or omissions previously reported or incorrectly reported.

Similar to Part 1, we will highlight various best practices and how to work effectively with CRA Appeals officers when your company is filing notices of objection to GST/HST assessments. We will also cover in detail, the CRA’s voluntary disclosure program regarding GST/HST submissions. We will outline what to expect during these processes and highlight the types of information and documentation to submit with notices of objection or voluntary disclosure submissions.
