Tax lawyers in Gatineau

Tax files range from an audit or a reassessment to collections, unfiled returns and sales tax questions for businesses. When you compare lawyers, look at the kinds of tax matters they take, whether they deal with the CRA, Revenu Québec or both, the languages they work in, and how they charge: each lawyer sets their own rates, and you can see them before you book.

Wherever you live in Quebec, the same two authorities apply: the Canada Revenue Agency for federal tax and Revenu Québec for provincial tax. A local lawyer knows how to deal with both, and can help you respond in the right order when you receive letters from each.

Who decides a tax dispute

A dispute usually starts with the tax authority itself, through a notice of objection. If it is not resolved there, federal tax appeals are heard by the Tax Court of Canada, and Quebec tax appeals by the Court of Québec. Objection deadlines are strict, and each authority has its own. A lawyer can tell you which route applies to your file, what to expect at each stage, and whether negotiating a settlement or a payment arrangement is a better path than going to court.

Preparing your first consultation

• Your notices of assessment or reassessment.
• Every letter from the CRA or Revenu Québec, including audit requests.
• The tax returns for the years in question, and supporting records.
• Any deadline written on your notices, so the lawyer sees it right away.
• Your questions: your options, the likely cost, and the next steps.

For a business, also bring your GST/QST filings and the relevant financial statements. The more complete your file, the more useful the first meeting will be.
