Tax

Every transaction involving money or property has tax consequences, whether it's a merger, a public-private partnership or a cross-border exchangeable share deal. Tax issues can be a deal-breaker-but not for us. Turn to Dentons' Tax practice in Canada to resolve these issues creatively and completely, turning them from deal-breakers into deal-makers.

We work closely with clients to provide authoritative tax advice in areas including entertainment, M&A, real estate, mining and natural resources. Across Canada and around the world, we advise corporations, trusts, partnerships, high net worth individuals and governments at all levels. Your issues become ours to solve, from long-term tax planning to negotiating the tax aspects of a deal. Our capabilities also cover goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax (GST/HST), customs, provincial sales tax and pensions.

Our tax litigation team has extensive experience resolving tax disputes at all levels of government. Some members of our Tax group have previously worked for the Canadian Department of Justice and for provincial tax departments. With our successful track record handling both tax and litigation matters, we eliminate the need to delegate to litigators unfamiliar with tax law. Where collaboration is in your best interest, our team also works with Dentons' class action litigators in the defense and strategic resolution of tax-related class actions.
