Why Choose Dominion Audit for Your Accounting & Tax Needs?
Exceptional Canadian Sales Tax Experience That Few Professionals Can Match
In Canada, coast to coast, it is exceptionally rare to find an individual with hands-on experience correcting approximately $1.5 million in sales tax returns for one of Canada's Big Five banks — while recovering more than $300,000 in Input Tax Credits (ITCs) and Input Tax Refunds.
That is the kind of specialized, real-world sales tax experience we bring to our clients.
At The Dominion Audit Corporation, we do more than simply prepare and file tax returns. We look beyond compliance to identify errors, exposures, and legitimate tax recovery opportunities that can have a direct impact on your company's cash flow.
Our experience includes working with complex Canadian sales tax matters where meticulous review, technical knowledge, and practical problem-solving were required to identify substantial amounts of recoverable tax.
Why does this matter to your business?
Your business deserves more than a routine “check-the-box” approach to sales tax.
We bring:
● Specialized sales tax expertise beyond general accounting and income tax knowledge.
● Practical experience identifying and correcting sales tax errors.
● Proven tax recovery experience, including the recovery of more than $300,000 in ITCs and ITRs for one of Canada's big five banks.
● Experience reviewing millions of dollars sales tax returns.
● A proactive approach to identifying legitimate opportunities to reduce net tax and improve cash flow.
● Knowledge of Canada's complex federal and provincial sales tax environment.
● Customized processes and spreadsheets designed to improve accuracy and compliance.
● Independent specialized advice that complements your financial team.
We don't just look at what you owe. We look at what you may be entitled to recover.
Our practice focuses on the interpretation and application
of sales tax legislation in light of:
·
The statutory language of
the Excise Tax Act and relevant provincial statutes
·
CRA administrative guidance
and policy positions
· Binding and persuasive
court decisions from the Tax Court of Canada, Federal Court of Appeal, and
Supreme Court of Canada
We analyze transactions not merely from a compliance
perspective, but through a legal risk and defensibility lens. This approach
allows us to identify overpaid tax, mitigate exposure, and support positions
that are consistent with both the legislation and prevailing jurisprudence.
Practical, Strategic, and Results-Driven
We regularly assist clients with:
·
Sales tax exposure reviews
and risk assessments
·
Recovery of overpaid
GST/HST and provincial sales taxes
·
Audit support, voluntary
disclosures, and dispute resolution
·
Transactional analysis and
structuring from a sales tax perspective
Our objective is not merely to explain the law, but to apply
it strategically, with precision and clarity, to protect our clients’
interests.
