Tax Litigator Dov Whitman, Jose Atencio and George Roth on What to Do (and Not Do) When the Brown Envelope Arrives.

This episode features Montreal tax litigator Dov Whitman discussing how we should respond when we receive a CRA audit letter and why many people make costly mistakes by either overcomplying (giving more than requested and triggering deeper scrutiny) or undercomplying (ignoring or sending hostile replies that can escalate matters and even create criminal exposure).
