Frequently Asked Questions

01Do you offer both personal and corporate tax services?

We do. Faris CPA handles personal tax disputes, business audits, and corporate compliance issues across Canada. Whether you’re an individual facing a CRA reassessment or a corporation under audit, you’ll receive the same senior-level attention and strategic guidance.

02Do you handle industry-specific tax issues?

Yes. Our tax accountants work with professionals, business owners, investors, and emerging industries, including crypto traders, digital creators, and international asset holders. Each sector has unique reporting and compliance requirements, and we tailor our tax consulting services to fit your circumstances and risk profile.

03How should I choose the right tax consultant?

Look for credentials, specialization, and transparency. A qualified CPA with proven CRA dispute experience can make the difference between resolution and escalation. Avoid anyone who overpromises results or downplays potential exposure. Our experts will explain your options clearly, discuss costs upfront, and focus on evidence, not salesmanship, letting you know exactly where you stand.

04What does tax consulting and advisory include?

Our tax consulting services go beyond preparation and filing. We provide strategic advice on compliance risk, CRA communications, business structure, and long-term tax efficiency. Whether it’s clarifying a complex rule or planning for cross-border income, our tax consultant Toronto focuses on precision, transparency, and practical solutions.

05How do you assist with CRA tax audits and dispute resolution?

The goal of our CRA tax audit help is to resolve disputes efficiently, protect your rights, and reduce unnecessary penalties or reassessments. We start by analyzing the audit or assessment in detail, identifying weaknesses in CRA’s position, and preparing evidence-based responses. If the assessment is unreasonable, we file a formal Notice of Objection and, if needed, escalate to the appeals process.

06What qualifications do your tax professionals have?

Every professional tax accountant at Faris CPA is a licensed Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) with specialized training in CRA dispute resolution. Files are never handled by unqualified or junior staff. In fact, every submission is reviewed by two senior CPAs, including Sam Faris, to ensure technical accuracy, defensibility, and compliance with CRA expectations.

07Do you offer tax planning and strategy services?

Yes, particularly for clients with complex or evolving financial circumstances. While our core focus is CRA tax compliance and dispute resolution, our experts also help clients implement forward-looking strategies to reduce future exposure, including business restructuring, capital gains planning, and optimizing after-tax income.

08What if I have unfiled tax returns?

Unfiled tax returns can lead to escalating penalties and even legal action, but they’re often fixable. The key is timing and approach. Our unfiled tax returns help starts with assessing the number of missing years, determining whether you qualify for the VDP, and preparing complete filings to bring you back into compliance without triggering unnecessary scrutiny or tax liens.

09How does the Voluntary Disclosures Program (VDP) work?

The VDP lets taxpayers correct past mistakes or file unreported income before CRA begins an audit or investigation. When accepted, it can eliminate penalties and reduce interest. The process involves preparing full disclosure, supporting documentation, and legal submissions. Our chartered tax advisors evaluate your eligibility, manage the filing, and ensure it’s properly positioned to qualify under CRA’s current rules.

10What happens during a CRA tax, net worth, or GST/HST audit?

A CRA audit begins when the Agency questions the accuracy of your reported income, deductions, or lifestyle relative to your tax filings. They may request bank statements, business records, or proof of expenses. At Faris CPA, our senior-level tax consultants manage the entire process, reviewing the audit letter, preparing documentation, and communicating directly with the CRA to protect your rights and ensure accurate representation.

11Do you only provide tax accounting services in Toronto?

While we are based in Toronto, we represent clients across Canada and beyond, providing tax accounting services to anyone with Canadian tax obligations. We make ourselves available outside of regular Toronto business hours because we know how stressful a CRA tax issue is for our clients. We’re grateful to the city of Toronto and its residents for trusting us to safeguard their finances for over 20 years, and for helping us become one of Canada’s leading CRA tax dispute solution providers.

12What’s the difference between a tax consultant/tax accountant and a general accountant?

A general accountant typically handles bookkeeping, financial statements, and routine tax filings. A CPA tax accountant focuses on complex or specialized tax issues, such as CRA audits, disputes, and compliance strategies. Faris CPA combines both: we’re Chartered Professional Accountants who also act as tax consultants, providing in-depth advice, CRA tax audit help, and dispute representation when a tax authority is involved.
