Angelo Gentile

Angelo is Co-Practice Group Leader of the Aird & Berlis's Tax Group and a member of the Tax Controversy/Tax Litigation Group. His practice focuses on tax litigation and commodity tax, including goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax (GST/HST) and provincial sales taxes. Angelo has extensive experience in resolving tax disputes involving GST/HST, income tax, CPP/EI, excise taxes, Ontario land transfer tax, Ontario employer health tax and Ontario tobacco tax.

Angelo is a natural problem solver. His deep knowledge and personable approach allow him to resolve his clients’ tax issues and disputes on an expedited basis, particularly when negotiating with the Department of Justice and the Canada Revenue Agency. His open and honest communication quickly instills in his clients a confidence that he is looking out for their best interests.

He has been successful in resolving a wide range of tax disputes at early stages of the process. Particularly in the field of GST/HST, Angelo’s in-depth knowledge of the legislation, coupled with his practical knowledge of the tax litigation process and the CRA administrative decision-making process, allows him to arrive at creative solutions to tax disputes that would have otherwise proceeded to trial. However, if a dispute cannot be resolved before trial, Angelo has experience representing clients before the Tax Court of Canada, the Federal Court, the Federal Court of Appeal and the Superior Court of Justice. Angelo also represents clients in making voluntary disclosures with the CRA and the Ontario Ministry of Finance.

Angelo advises Canadian and non-resident clients across a variety of industries, including real estate, financial services, retail, natural resources, health care, energy, communications, technology and manufacturing. In addition, Angelo advises clients in the charitable and not-for-profit sector.
