Common questions
Common questions, answered.
If your situation isn't covered below, book a free consultation and we'll answer it directly.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. Most cases qualify for a free, no-obligation consultation with one of our tax lawyers. During the call we'll review your situation, explain your options, and give you a clear quote if you decide to retain us.
Do you serve all of Canada?
Yes. Barrett Tax Law represents clients across Canada. We have offices and local phone lines in Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Fort McMurray, Ottawa, Vancouver, and Winnipeg, plus a national toll-free line at 1-877-882-9829.
What does a tax lawyer do that an accountant cannot?
Accountants prepare returns and financial statements. Tax lawyers represent you when those returns are challenged, audited, or prosecuted — and our communications are protected by solicitor–client privilege, which accountant communications generally are not.
Will the CRA criminally prosecute me?
Most CRA disputes are civil. Criminal prosecution is reserved for serious tax evasion or fraud, usually involving deliberate misrepresentation. If you have unreported income, a voluntary disclosure is one of the standard ways to reduce criminal-prosecution risk.
How fast can you start on my case?
We typically begin work within 24 hours of being retained. For audit deadlines, Notices of Objection, and other time-sensitive matters, we move immediately.
What if I have unfiled tax returns from many years ago?
We routinely handle 5+ years of unfiled returns. Through the Voluntary Disclosures Program — applied for before the CRA contacts you — we can usually eliminate gross-negligence penalties and limit interest exposure.
