Our firm negotiates more tax amnesty settlements with the Canada Revenue Agency than any other firm in Canada.
I am Paul DioGuardi, Q.C., a Senior Tax Counsel at DioGuardi Tax Law. I have 42 years experience as a tax lawyer, including many years working inside the Canada Revenue Agency’s head office as an Advisory Counsel with the Tax Litigation section of the Department of Justice. This personal experience gives our firm the hands-on experience–and exclusive access to our extensive case files and precedents–to negotiate a fair settlement with the CRA to protect you from criminal prosecution and financial penalties. Our negotiations will also request a waiver of tax for some of the years in question.
We offer you the protection of Lawyer-Client Confidentiality.
As lawyers, we are able to protect your identity while we negotiate with the Canada Revenue Agency and provincial tax authorities.
- Unlike us, accountants/financial planners do not have this privilege!
- Unlike us, accountants/financial planners can be forced to reveal your financial information!
- In short, accountants/financial planners are Canada Revenue Agency's best witness against you!
Think you’re safe from the TaxMan after 6 years?
Contrary to popular belief, there is no time limit for the tax authorities to reopen your tax returns for investigation and possible prosecution if the Agency has reason to believe tax fraud was involved in your tax filing.
- If the CRA is able to convict you of tax fraud, fines can be up to 250% of the taxes owing.
- You can also be criminally prosecuted, and if convicted you will have a criminal record. In addition to the criminal fines–which cannot be eluded through bankruptcy–you will also be required to pay restitution fines. You can be ruined personally and financially for life.
- A DioGuardi AmnestyRx™ lawyer-negotiated tax settlement is only possible if we act before the CRA becomes aware of your tax delinquency. If you have been contacted by the tax authorities, we still may be able to help. But you must give us all the facts so that we can build a case to protect you and negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf.
