How we help
Tax problems we handle for New Glasgow clients
The Canada Revenue Agency assesses and audits the same way across the country, so a New Glasgow taxpayer has the same rights — and the same deadlines — as anyone else in Canada. We act on:
Local tax context
Tax in Nova Scotia: what New Glasgow clients should know
Personal and corporate income tax is administered federally by the Canada Revenue Agency.
Nova Scotia uses the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST), administered federally by the CRA.
Atlantic clients often deal with the CRA's regional offices serving the Maritimes; we appear remotely and in person as a file requires.
Where appeals are heard: The Tax Court of Canada sits in Halifax for Atlantic Canada appeals. If your dispute proceeds past the objection stage, that is where a New Glasgow 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 New Glasgow 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.
