If CRA has entirely or partially denied your SR&ED claim, there are two steps you can take to have their decision reviewed and potentially overturned. These two steps are the same whether the issue is "technical" or "expenditure" related, i.e. CRA has ruled that an R&D activity does not qualify as SR&ED, or that an amount claimed in respect of such activity does not attract an SR&ED benefit.
Stamp duty in South Australia is a fee charged and regulated by the state government. It is payable on any property transfer or commercial dealing that falls into the category of a 'dutiable' transaction. Most commonly, stamp duty is payable on house and car purchases; however, stamp duty is also payable on certain business transactions, dealings of a commercial nature, and insurance.

The principle of proportionality is an unwritten concept of European law. In simple terms and in a VAT context, the principle is intended to ensure that, when dealing with taxpayers, Member State's actions go no further than what is necessary to achieve the objective being pursued.
The objective of the Default Surcharge regime in the UK is to ensure that taxpayers not only submit their VAT returns on time but also pay any VAT due on time.
The First-tier Tribunal found that the surcharge in this case was disproportionate. However, the Upper Tribunal has allowed HMRC's appeal. In the circumstances, the First-tier's decision was wrong in law.

Software developer had contract for health records system in Belize
The Tax Court of Canada has awarded generous (95%) legal costs to a software developer who successfully appealed a denied SR&ED claim to the Tax Court of Canada and subsequently filed a motion to the court for increased costs. Such cost awards are often less than 50%; awards in the range of 80% are seen if there have been settlement offers; 95% is almost unheard of.
As a result of changes to the Income Tax Act and Tax Court Canada Act being introduced through the 2013 federal budget process, the limit on tax court appeals of income tax matters made under the informal procedure will shortly increase from $12,000 to $25,000.
The Federal Tax authority (FTA) operates using the Tax Procedures law that permits the FTA to assess payable taxes, tax audits, determine tax evasion and issue administrative penalties. These tax assessments as stated can result in a decision to make the taxpayer pay penalties pertaining to a particular transaction or tax period.

New rules on retrospective tax penalty waiversAhmedTalaat127
For the first time since the UAE tax laws came into effect in October 2017, the legislation now:
Grants permission to pay tax penalties in installments.
Specifies reasons that permit penalty waivers. *
Prohibits installments or waivers if litigation is ongoing.
Allows for a class action against tax penalties.
Permits waiver of penalties paid during the past five years.
*Before, the legislation only stated that “accepted justifications” may substantiate penalty waivers, but it was unclear what would entail an accepted justification.
Importantly, taxpayers must now choose between either disputing tax penalties through the tax dispute resolution committees and the Federal Courts — or filing installment or waiver applications. The new changes make it unworkable for both to occur at the same time. And because of the time limitations, a dispute may be time-barred if the taxpayer opts to file an installment or waiver application instead of contending the penalties before the tax dispute resolution committees and the Federal Courts.
This is a substantive consideration for taxpayers as they must weigh the risks of sacrificing litigation against the risk of receiving a rejection on an installment or waiver application.

Included in the 33 pages of technical changes are four amendments to existing legislation governing SR&ED tax deductions and credits.
In Canada, tax is paid at both federal and provincial (i.e. state) levels of government.
Both the federal government and most provincial governments provide funding for scientific and technological R&D through a system of tax credits.
The official title of this system of R&D tax credits is the Scientific Research & Experimental Development tax credit abbreviated SR&ED.
The SR&ED program is administrated by the Canada Revenue Agency abbreviated CRA.
All taxpayers anywhere in Canada are eligible to receive R&D tax credits at the federal level. Eligibility for R&D tax credits at the provincial level is predicated on two considerations; First the province must have an R&D credit and second, you must be a taxpayer in that province.
In addition to being done by a Canadian taxpayer, the R&D work must be done in Canada.

Understanding business valuation is crucial for making informed decisions, whether you're seeking investment, planning to sell, or simply want to gauge your company's worth.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

WHAT TO DO
IF YOU DISAGREE WITH CRA
If CRA has entirely or partially denied your SR&ED claim, there are two steps you can take to have their
decision reviewed and potentially overturned. These two steps are the same whether the issue is
"technical" or "expenditure" related, i.e. CRA has ruled that an R&D activity does not qualify as SR&ED,
or that an amount claimed in respect of such activity does not attract an SR&ED benefit.
It is important to understand that CRA's role is to apply the law (which in this case is the Income Tax Act)
in a similar way that police apply Highway Traffic Act or the Criminal Code. But neither CRA, nor the
police create the law; the law is created by government and adjudicated by the courts according to the
facts. In most cases both the police and the CRA get it right, but in some cases they don't. The key to
success in either of these steps is being able to show that CRA's auditors have either misinterpreted the
facts of the situation or have applied the law incorrectly.
Step 1 - Notice of Objection
The first step is to file an objection. To do this, prepare a CRA form T400A Objection - Income Tax Act
outlining the relevant facts of the situation and the reasons for the objection. Send this form to:
Assistant Commissioner, Appeals Branch
Canada Revenue Agency
250 Albert Street
Ottawa ON K1A 0L5
Your objection must be received by the Appeals Branch no later than 90 days from the date shown on the
Notice of Assessment or Notice of Re-assessment (not the date at which you received it) on which CRA
notified you that your claim was denied. In some cases we have been successful in negotiating an
extension beyond the 90 day period, especially if there has been any significant delay in delivering the
document to you.
The Appeals Branch is separate from the SR&ED Directorate, and operates independently of it. The role
of the appeals representative who will review your case is to carry out a complete, professional, and
impartial review.
CRA does not charge a fee to file a Notice of Objection. However, since the Notice of Objection needs to
show that CRA somehow wrongly applied the law in its assessment of your claim, taxpayers are advised
to enlist professional advice either from an accountant or a lawyer. Simply writing that "CRA was not
fair" will not produce a successful objection.
Another good reason to seek professional assistance is to avoid disclosing unnecessary information that
could lead to additional inquires by CRA auditors or hamper your case should you decide to pursue the
matter at court.

such person.

Step 2 – Appeal to Tax Court
If you are either not satisfied with the outcome of the above Notice of Objection process or you come to
believe that CRA is not handling that process to your satisfaction, you can make an appeal to the Tax
Court of Canada.
Decisions of the Tax Court of Canada can be further appealed to the Federal Court of Appeal. Decisions
of the Federal Court of Appeal can be appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, but only with the
Supreme Court's permission.
Tax Court Canada has two procedures for adjudicating disputes between taxpayers and CRA:
1) The Informal Procedure in which the amount of tax (or SR&ED benefit) in dispute is limited to a
maximum of $25,000. Although disputes involving larger amounts can be heard through an
informal procedure, the maximum amount of settlement that can be achieved is still limited to
$25,000. Rulings from informal procedures do not set legal precedents and cannot be cited as
grounds in other proceedings or for future recurrences of the same issue.
2) The General Procedure is available for disputes of any size. Although you can represent yourself
in a general procedure, there are complex rules of procedure, discovery, and evidence that require
legal expertise; a lawyer specializing in tax litigation is highly recommended. General Procedure
rulings do set legal precedent and can be cited in the future by the same and other taxpayers
(unless or until overturned by a higher court, or there is a change in legislation).
Trials in the Tax Court of Canada typically take one day or less, particularly where the parties have
agreed on all or substantially all of the facts, but in more complex and contentious cases the trial may not
be completed for several weeks or even months.
Costs are recoverable by the successful party in accordance with rather modest tariff amounts, but
reasonable disbursements incurred by the successful party (including expert witness costs) are generally
fully recoverable.
Before the Tax Court Canada process can begin, you must first file a notice of objection with CRA.
Once you have filed your notice of objection there are two timing issues to consider:
You CAN file your appeal to the Tax Court of Canada on the 91st day after the notice of objection was
submitted, providing CRA has not ruled on your objection.
However, once CRA has ruled on your objection you MUST file your appeal to the Tax Court of Canada
within 90 days. After 90 days have passed your right to make an appeal to the tax is lost forever.
CRA notifies you of its ruling on your Notice of Objection by sending you a document called a “letter of
confirmation”. If your objection is wholly or partially allowed, CRA will also send you a Notice of
Reassessment. If your objection is entirely denied you will only receive the letter of confirmation.
Scitax has a team of professionals (including tax-dedicated litigation lawyers) who will guide you
through these processes and prepare all the necessary documents.

Objection or an Appeal to Tax Court Canada, contact:
