CRA Tax Dispute Services
The Canada Revenue Agency audits thousands of individuals and businesses each year. If you’ve received a CRA audit letter, we can help you respond strategically and protect your position from the start.
Disagree with a CRA assessment or reassessment? You have the right to challenge it by filing a notice of objection but strict deadlines apply. We can help you make your case.
If the CRA has confirmed your reassessment, the next step is filing an appeal with the Tax Court of Canada. We represent clients in both informal and general procedure cases.

Results
Kirshen Tax Law has a strong record of success in resolving disputes with the Canada Revenue Agency and the Department of Justice. Below are a few examples of the results we’ve secured for clients facing CRA audits, proposed assessments, reassessments, and Tax Court appeals.
Reversed a $1,000,000 GST/HST audit assessment and secured a full refund. CRA incorrectly denied Input Tax Credits, claiming the taxpayer acted as an agent for a foreign principal.
Removed a $750,000 reassessment at the objection stage by proving the taxpayer qualified for the principal residence exemption on both home sales.
Defeated over $500,000 in CRA builder audit reassessments after it was alleged the taxpayer was a builder under the Excise Tax Act. Our objection was accepted in full.
Prevented a $350,000 director’s liability assessment by successfully raising the due diligence defense. CRA agreed the director could not be held personally responsible.
Achieved full non-residency recognition going back six years, resulting in a complete refund of taxes paid. The client’s ties to Canada were properly severed and accepted by CRA.
Eliminated all income, penalties, and GST/HST after CRA conducted a flawed net worth audit. The matter was resolved favourably before a hearing at the Tax Court of Canada.
