Home / The Criminal File

The Criminal File If you thought the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) was bad, you would not imagine that the Canada Revenue Agency is far worse. In fact, in Canada the CRA files more criminal charges per capita than the IRS does. Moreover, the CRA files criminal charges against all kinds of Canadians - not just those involved in fraud and tax evasion, but even those who have simply failed to file their tax returns. What this means is that it is important to become compliant and get all of your filings up to date. At Barrett TAX LAW, we can help you reduce the odds of being charged criminally by helping you become compliant. We always stand between you and the CRA, and in an Amnesty application, we protect your identity with lawyer-client privilege while we negotiate an outcome that will help you avoid criminal charges and penalties. If you are in the position where you have not filed your returns for an extended period of time, you are at risk of criminal charges. If the Canada Revenue Agency has not yet contacted you, we can help negotiate a settlement that will avoid criminal charges and penalties. If you are in this position, YOU MUST ACT QUICKLY. If the Canada Revenue Agency contacts you before we file the anonymous application on your behalf, there is no deal. If you need the protection of a Tax Amnesty settlement to avoid criminal charges and penalties, then you should take the first step by arranging a Free Consultation with a tax lawyer by calling us at 1-866-278-8424.
