Canadian tax court?

[Arthur Rubin]

A customer at JustAnswer is saying something about Tax Court in Canada. Before I decide to take him as a quasi-client, I'd like to know if there is such a thing....

[edited] Yes, there are Tax Protesters who post to JustAnswer. One of them actually accepted my answer that his position was frivolous.

I know the Tax court well, I first testified there in 1978 (when it was known as the Tax Review Board) and I've testified at the court perhaps twenty times in subsequent years. I also, after more than a decade of retirement, still read every Tax Court decision.

The Tax Court of Canada has the mandate to hear all Canadian income tax appeals. It is the only Canadian court allowed to hear income tax appeal issues. Appeals from Tax Court decisions are heard by the Federal Court of Canada.

So, yes, if your potential client is talking about a Tax Court appeal it may well be a legitimate appeal but, as noted, the Tax Court of Canada, like your tax court, hears many totally meritless appeals. I'm reading one right now on my daily update to do with bogus charitable donations.
