• Corporate income tax

Representation with Canada Revenue Agency

Provided individuals and corporations file their returns and make the required payments on time, it is less likely they will be selected for an audit. With that in mind it is our goal to help ensure you and/or your corporation file any and all required tax filings accurately and on time.

However if you do find yourself on the receiving end of a CRA audit we can help. Our experience with CRA audits and our knowledge of the Income Tax Act ensures we communicate with CRA effectively and appropriately to obtain the best possible result for you.

We offer free consultations for new clients, so please don't hesitate to call and discuss your situation with a professional before you respond to CRA.

Lawyer Integration

Depending on the nature of the work, it is sometimes necessary to confirm information and discuss tax planning strategies with the other professionals that work with you. In these instances, with your permission, we will work directly with your advisors to help reduce overlap and ensure the planning we implement does not contradict other aspects of your tax or estate planning.

While we are happy to work with the professionals you have surrounded yourself with we also offer a service unique to Pitre James & Co. Situated at 1593 Ellis Street, Pitre James & Co shares office space with Business Law Group and its founder Mathew Dober, BA, LLB, MBA. Together we are able to provide high quality accounting and legal services under one roof.

We believe the integration of these services provides our clients with a high quality and convenient option. Imagine being able to meet with your lawyer and accountant under one roof and feeling confident that they are working in sync with each other to ensure your best interests are met.
