Award Received from IBFD and Acquisition International

Thrilled to have received 2015 Best in Canada for Cross-border Taxation and Succession Planning from the IBFD and Acquisition International. The IBFD has always meant so much to me with its authors such as the renowned Kees van Raad whose commentary guided myself and my team members of the Jessup Moot in law school in the preparation of our factums. Great memories. And yes in practice I continue to rely on the IBFD and its resources.

SR&ED Success in Tax Court

Please see attached the January 2015 issue of Thomson Reuters’ Privately Held Companies and Taxes. In this issue we discuss Les Abeilles Service de Conditionnement Inc., a tax court win for the SRED claimant.As can be seen from the table of cases, a tax court win is very seldom in SRED cases - likely because of the difficulty in differentiating between SRED and "routine engineering".
