Tax Appeals

WHAT IS A TAX APPEAL?

A Tax Appeal is the appealing of a decision from an assessment of taxes by the CRA or IRS that you believe is incorrect or unjust. The purpose of a first tax appeal is to seek resolution usually without court litigation in a manner that is fair and impartial to both the government and the taxpayer. This is possible because administrative Appeals is independent of the CRA/IRS.

Disputed decisions may include:

• CRA Audit
• IRS Audit
• Assessed Interest or Penalties
• Reassessment of Prior Years
• Assessments by Prior Country of Work or Residence
• Withholding Taxes by Foreign Countries on Income or Gambling Winnings
• A Rejected Offer in Compromise
• Liens
• Levies
