Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Informal and General Procedure at the Tax Court?
Informal Procedure has lower thresholds (up to $25,000 federal tax + penalties per year for income tax, $50,000 for GST/HST), simpler rules, and unrepresented taxpayers can appear. General Procedure handles larger amounts with full Federal Court Rules-style discovery, pleadings, and trial management.
How long does a Tax Court appeal take?
Informal Procedure files often resolve in 6–18 months. General Procedure can run 18–36 months from Notice of Appeal to judgment, depending on complexity, discovery, and whether the case settles or proceeds to trial.
Do I have to attend the trial?
If you are the appellant and there are factual issues in dispute, yes — you will usually be a key witness. Your counsel will prepare you. For purely legal arguments, attendance is optional in most cases.
