Services in Winnipeg
Voluntary Disclosure
The Voluntary Disclosures Program lets Canadian taxpayers correct unreported income, unfiled returns, and undisclosed offshore assets before the CRA contacts them. A successful submission can eliminate gross-negligence penalties and the risk of criminal prosecution, while limiting interest exposure.
Unreported Offshore Income
The CRA receives offshore account data from over 100 jurisdictions through the Common Reporting Standard. If you have unreported foreign income, dividends, rental income, or capital gains, voluntary disclosure is usually the only path to avoid gross-negligence penalties or prosecution.
Unreported Domestic Income
Unreported tips, side-business revenue, cash payments, rental income, or freelance income can all be corrected through voluntary disclosure — often before the CRA flags an audit.
Unreported Offshore Assets
Specified Foreign Property over $100,000 must be reported on Form T1135. Missed reporting carries severe penalties, but voluntary disclosure can substantially reduce or eliminate them.
Unreported Cryptocurrency Transactions
The CRA treats cryptocurrency as a commodity. Disposals — including crypto-to-crypto trades, NFT sales, staking, and DeFi yields — generate taxable events. Unreported gains can be corrected through the Voluntary Disclosures Program.
Overstated Expenses
Overstated business or rental expenses can be corrected through voluntary disclosure before the CRA reassesses, avoiding gross-negligence penalties and limiting interest exposure.
