DEDICATED TO LEGALLY MINIMIZING TAX LIABILITY!

Michael Atlas is one of Canada’s top tax planning experts.

He can work with select private clients and their professional advisors to try to legally minimize their liability for Canadian tax.

He is a firm believer in the philosophy expressed in the following oft-quoted passage from a famous 1936 UK tax case (“Duke of Westminster”):

Every man is entitled, if he can, to order his affairs so that the tax attaching under the appropriate Acts is less than it otherwise would be. If he succeeds in ordering them so as to secure this result, then, however unappreciative the Commissioners of Inland Revenue or his fellow tax-payers may be of his ingenuity, he cannot be compelled to pay an increased tax.

You should contact him ASAP to see what he can do. 

 

TOTALLY UNLIKE THE BIG 4 FIRMS!

if you like the style of the “Big 4” and similar professional firms, Michael Atlas is probably not for you!

His focus is strictly on high-level and creative tax consulting services. Unlike such firms, he is informal in his approach and not hampered by bureaucratic constraints. 

In addition, unlike such firms, he never makes clients sign an “engagement letter” that says that, if they screw-up, their liability is limited to the amount of fees that they charge you.

 

BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHO GIVES YOU TAX ADVICE!

In over his head?

Anyone can give tax advice! There is no legal restriction on who can give it. An accountant, a lawyer, a financial planner, a taxi-driver, your next-door neighbor-they can all give tax advice! They can even call themselves a “tax expert” if they want.

However, getting the WRONG tax advice can be DISASTROUS! It can mean exposure to extra taxes, penalties or interest.

Contrary to what most people may think, the vast majority of accountants, regardless of whether they have a designation like CA,CGA,CMA, or CPA, or not, have only a very BASIC knowledge of tax matters.

That is fine for preparing tax returns and financial statements, as well as answering basic questions and giving simple advice.

However, when it comes to high-level or complex matters, very few are real experts who are up to the task. Michael Atlas is recognized as being amongst those very few, as evidenced by the fact that hundreds of fellow accountants from all across Canada have come to him for advice over the years.

What about lawyers? Unless you are dealing with one of the very few who specializes in tax matters, forget it!
