Tax Advocacy Project (Toronto)

PBSC partners with the Toronto Tax Department of Dentons in response to the significant number of unrepresented appellants appearing before the Tax Court of Canada. The project enables law students, under the careful supervision of Dentons tax litigators, to gain practical experience representing individual, low-income taxpayers before the TCC.

PBSC partners with the Toronto Tax Department of Dentons in response to the significant number of unrepresented appellants appearing before the Tax Court of Canada. The project enables law students, under the careful supervision of Dentons tax litigators, to gain practical experience representing individual, low-income taxpayers before the TCC. Working in teams to represent appellants in the informal procedure (claims under $25,000), the students meet with their clients, gather evidence, prepare their arguments, and appear before the Court.
