Our tax group provides construction clients with timely and practical advice on a cost-effective basis. An important part of the practice involves corporate tax planning, using various business vehicles including corporations, joint ventures and partnerships. We work closely with you to identify potential threats to your business and are not afraid to defend your position. Unlike accounting firms our team includes experienced tax litigators who can represent you in all phases of tax dispute resolution, including:
corporate reorganizations from introducing new family members to restructuring for buying and selling a business;
international tax planning, including US real estate issues;
charity and non-profit taxation;
the use of trusts and tax planning, including estate freezes and professional corporation structures for income splitting purposes;
wills and estates and matrimonial tax planning; and
general tax litigation including disputing reassessments, collection matters and ultimately litigation between the Courts.
