How PwC's CNTS team can help

• Tax Policy and Legislative Developments
  Companies today need tax advisors that are on top of current tax policy developments and the impact it has on their business.
  
  CNTS members provide tax policy and strategic planning services in a broad range of domestic and international tax areas. Deep technical knowledge and experience in tax policy, including that of former federal and provincial finance departments, helps us assist companies to develop tax policy initiatives that address the issues they face and facilitate discussions with government officials.
• Tax Controversy and Dispute Resolution
  Tax authorities around the world have become more aggressive, leading to an increase in the volume of tax disputes in all areas of direct income and indirect taxes. The CRA is undergoing significant changes in the way they audit to improve coverage, increase collections, enhance transparency and combat what they believe is "aggressive tax planning." For taxpayers, it's no longer business as usual.
  
  Our network of tax professionals, including former CRA officials,  helps businesses to prevent, manage and resolve tax audits and disputes worldwide through its:  
  • Global reach and perspective
  • Deep technical subject-matter knowledge combined with tax litigation and alternative dispute resolution experience
  • Knowledge of CRA processes and procedures, along with strong, productive relationships with government officials
• Tax Legal Services
  PwC Canada’s affiliated law firm, Wilson & Partners LLP, offers innovative tax legal advice and representation in all areas of Canadian taxation. Working jointly with CNTS and other PwC Canada members, WLLP ensures that together we are providing the complete tax service companies need.
