The lawyers at Verreau Dufresne step in at every stage of the tax process, from the audit to trial, to protect your rights and limit the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-vos-avocats-en-litige-fiscal-a-quebec-et-levis\"><strong>Your tax litigation lawyers in Qu\u00e9bec City and L\u00e9vis<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verreaudufresneavocats.com\/en\/\">Verreau Dufresne Avocats<\/a> handles tax disputes for individuals, self-employed workers and businesses before Revenu Qu\u00e9bec and the courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A tax file does not begin before the judge. It begins well before, when an auditor contacts you and asks for your documents. Every answer given, every document provided and every explanation offered at this stage shapes the assessment that will eventually be issued \u2014 and the evidence you will have to work with afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is why our lawyers act both upstream, as advisers supporting you during the audit and objection, and downstream, as litigators before the Court of Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our approach is settlement-oriented. The vast majority of tax disputes are settled without a trial, at the negotiating table with the auditor, the objections officer or the lawyer for the Agence du revenu du Qu\u00e9bec. You still need to present the right argument, at the right time, with the evidence to support it. Our lawyers know how the tax administration works and when a file is better settled \u2014 and when it is worth litigating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"vd-cta\" style=\"text-align:center;margin:0 0 1.5rem\"><a href=\"#footer\" class=\"button\">Book an appointment<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nos-services-en-matiere-de-litige-fiscal\"><strong>Our tax litigation services<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"vd-services\">\n\n<div class=\"vd-services__grid\">\n\n<article class=\"vd-card\">\n<div class=\"vd-card__icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.8\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M13 3H7a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v14a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h5\"><\/path><path d=\"M13 3v5h5\"><\/path><path d=\"M13 3l5 5\"><\/path><path d=\"M8.5 12h4M8.5 15.5h3\"><\/path><circle cx=\"16.5\" cy=\"16.5\" r=\"3.2\"><\/circle><path d=\"M18.8 18.8l2.7 2.7\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"vd-card__title\">Support during a tax audit<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"vd-card__list\">\n<li>Strategic advice from the auditor\u2019s first contact<\/li>\n<li>Managing communications and requests for documents<\/li>\n<li>Preparing and validating the answers sent to Revenu Qu\u00e9bec<\/li>\n<li>Representation at meetings with the auditor<\/li>\n<li>Analyzing and contesting a proposed assessment before it becomes final<\/li>\n<li>Defence in audits using an indirect method (net worth, bank deposits, expense analysis)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/article>\n\n<article class=\"vd-card\">\n<div class=\"vd-card__icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.8\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M12 3l7 2.8v5.4c0 4.4-2.9 8.3-7 9.8-4.1-1.5-7-5.4-7-9.8V5.8L12 3z\"><\/path><path d=\"M9 12.2l2.1 2.1 4-4.3\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"vd-card__title\">Objection to a notice of assessment<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"vd-card__list\">\n<li>Analyzing the assessment and evaluating your chances of success<\/li>\n<li>Drafting and filing the notice of objection on time<\/li>\n<li>Application for an extension of time to object<\/li>\n<li>Building the evidence file and written submissions<\/li>\n<li>Negotiating with the objections officer<\/li>\n<li>Application to suspend collection measures<\/li>\n<li>Application for cancellation or waiver of interest, penalties and fees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/article>\n\n<article class=\"vd-card\">\n<div class=\"vd-card__icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.8\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M3 21h18\"><\/path><path d=\"M4 18h16\"><\/path><path d=\"M6 18v-7.5M10 18v-7.5M14 18v-7.5M18 18v-7.5\"><\/path><path d=\"M3 10.5h18\"><\/path><path d=\"M12 3.5l9 7H3l9-7z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"vd-card__title\">Representation before the courts<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"vd-card__list\">\n<li>Appeal before the Court of Qu\u00e9bec<\/li>\n<li>Proceedings before the Small Claims Division of the Court of Qu\u00e9bec<\/li>\n<li>Appeal before the Tax Court of Canada in GST\/HST matters<\/li>\n<li>Appeal before the Court of Appeal of Quebec<\/li>\n<li>Application for judicial review before the Superior Court<\/li>\n<li>Negotiating a settlement at every stage of the court file<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/article>\n\n<article class=\"vd-card\">\n<div class=\"vd-card__icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.8\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><rect x=\"3\" y=\"7\" width=\"18\" height=\"13\" rx=\"2\"><\/rect><path d=\"M9 7V5.5A1.5 1.5 0 0 1 10.5 4h3A1.5 1.5 0 0 1 15 5.5V7\"><\/path><path d=\"M3 12.5h18\"><\/path><path d=\"M12 11.5v2.5\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"vd-card__title\">Other tax services<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"vd-card__list\">\n<li>Income tax assessments (individuals and corporations)<\/li>\n<li>GST and QST assessments, denied input tax refunds (ITRs\/ITCs)<\/li>\n<li>Contesting penalties for gross negligence<\/li>\n<li>Personal liability of directors (source deductions, GST and QST)<\/li>\n<li>Assessments related to source deductions and self-employed status<\/li>\n<li>Seizures, legal hypothecs and other Revenu Qu\u00e9bec collection measures<\/li>\n<li>Payment arrangements and negotiating a tax debt<\/li>\n<li>Files handled in parallel with the Canada Revenue Agency<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/article>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"vd-cta\" style=\"text-align:center;margin:0 0 1.5rem\"><a href=\"#footer\" class=\"button\">Book an appointment<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-les-etapes-d-un-dossier-fiscal\"><strong>The stages of a tax file<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many taxpayers discover the tax process along the way, when strict deadlines are already running against them.

A significant share of disputes end with a negotiated agreement with the lawyers for the Agence du revenu du Qu\u00e9bec, often after the taxpayer\u2019s evidence has been organized and disclosed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"vd-cta\" style=\"text-align:center;margin:0 0 1.5rem\"><a href=\"#footer\" class=\"button\">Book an appointment<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-le-fardeau-de-la-preuve-repose-sur-vos-epaules\"><strong>The burden of proof is on you<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the feature of tax law that surprises taxpayers the most: <strong>it is not up to Revenu Qu\u00e9bec to prove that its assessment is well founded; it is up to you to show that it is not.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In civil matters, the person making a claim normally has to prove what they allege. In tax matters, the rule is reversed. The assessment benefits from a presumption of validity: the facts on which the tax administration relies \u2014 including those it simply inferred during the audit \u2014 are held to be true until the taxpayer has demolished them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In practical terms, this means that a lack of evidence works against you. A lost invoice, a plausible but undocumented explanation, a bank deposit whose source can no longer be traced: each of these may remain taxable, not because Revenu Qu\u00e9bec has proven anything, but because you failed to prove otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is precisely where a lawyer\u2019s contribution is decisive. A tax file is rarely won by a single brilliant idea; it is won because it has been built with rigour:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ul>\n<li>by identifying early what you will need to be able to prove;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>by reconstructing and organizing the documentary, accounting and banking evidence;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>by preparing witness testimony and, where needed, expert evidence;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>by presenting it all coherently and convincingly, first to the auditor or objections officer, then to the court.<\/li>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A well-prepared file settles better, and sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-litige-fiscal-ou-planification-fiscale\"><strong>Tax litigation or tax planning?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two terms sound alike, but they refer to two different professions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A tax lawyer who provides tax advice works upstream, in a world close to that of accountants: they write interpretation memos, set up corporate structures, plan transactions and optimize the tax burden of a taxpayer or business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A tax litigation lawyer, on the other hand, steps in once a disagreement has arisen. Their field is evidence, procedure, negotiation and the courtroom: overturning or reducing an assessment, defending a position before Revenu Qu\u00e9bec, building the file and arguing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This second role is ours.<\/strong> Verreau Dufresne is a litigation firm. We do not do tax planning or structuring \u2014 we defend you when the tax administration challenges your returns, your expenses, your taxes or your structure.

Collection rules also differ from those that apply to personal income tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We act both before Revenu Qu\u00e9bec and before the Tax Court of Canada when the assessment concerns GST\/HST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faire-suspendre-le-recouvrement\"><strong>Suspending collection<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contesting does not always suspend collection. Revenu Qu\u00e9bec has powerful means to collect a tax debt: set-off, legal hypothecs, administrative seizure in the hands of third parties on your bank accounts or salary, seizure and sale under judicial authority, not to mention collection fees of up to 10% of the debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For personal income tax, the law requires Revenu Qu\u00e9bec to suspend collection while the objection or appeal is being processed. In other situations \u2014 particularly for a QST assessment or a denied input tax refund \u2014 suspension is not automatic: it must be requested and certain conditions must be met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our lawyers analyze your situation, submit the appropriate applications and, where appropriate, negotiate a payment arrangement while your dispute runs its course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-avocats-a-quebec-et-levis\"><strong>Lawyers in Qu\u00e9bec City and L\u00e9vis<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you being audited, have you received a notice of assessment or do you need to contest a Revenu Qu\u00e9bec decision?
