CPD for Lawyers: 1 Substantive Hour
REGISTER
In 2024, the General Anti‑Avoidance Rule (“GAAR”) underwent significant reform and the practical effects are now coming into focus. At the same time, the Canada Revenue Agency has continued to refine its administrative guidance, shaping how GAAR risk is evaluated and addressed in practice.
Join members of our Tax Controversy/Tax Litigation Team for a practical discussion of what the “new” GAAR means for taxpayers and advisors, with a focus on the implications for tax planning, audit activity and litigation strategy.
Whether you are planning a transaction, managing an audit or seeking to stay informed, this session is designed to provide clear takeaways on how GAAR is evolving and what best practices are emerging in light of these developments.
Topics include:
- Evolution of the GAAR, from its origins to its modern framework
- Key features and interpretive issues arising under the “new” GAAR regime
- The Canada Revenue Agency’s updated GAAR guidance and enforcement posture.
- Implications for practitioners, including audit, objection and litigation considerations.
