How we help
Tax problems we handle for Brantford clients
The Canada Revenue Agency assesses and audits the same way across the country, so a Brantford taxpayer has the same rights — and the same deadlines — as anyone else in Canada. We act on:
Local tax context
Tax in Ontario: what Brantford clients should know
Personal and corporate income tax for Ontario residents and corporations is administered federally by the Canada Revenue Agency.
Ontario uses the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST), which combines the federal GST and the provincial portion into a single tax the CRA administers.
Ontario's Employer Health Tax and land transfer tax (with an additional municipal land transfer tax in Toronto) are common sources of provincial-level disputes alongside CRA matters.
Where appeals are heard: The Tax Court of Canada sits regularly in Toronto, Ottawa, London, and other Ontario centres. If your dispute proceeds past the objection stage, that is where a Brantford appeal would be heard — and we appear there.
Why a tax lawyer
Why bring in tax counsel
A tax lawyer can do two things an accountant generally cannot: protect your communications under solicitor-client privilege, and represent you at the Tax Court of Canada. When a CRA matter moves from filing into a dispute, a privileged question, or litigation, that distinction matters. We frequently work alongside a client’s existing accountant as co-counsel — see our work with accountants page.
If you are in Brantford and dealing with the CRA — an audit letter, a reassessment, frozen funds, or years of unfiled returns — the earliest advice usually preserves the most options.
