The Supreme Court of Canada has delivered judgments in two critical cases involving the General Anti-Avoidance Rule. These long-awaited decisions are the most important developments in tax law in the past decade. Are you on the right side of GAAR?

History
When GAAR was introduced in 1988, it gave Revenue Canada very broad powers to challenge perceived tax avoidance activity. And since its genesis, there have been many justifiable concerns regarding GAAR's impact on tax planning. The bottom line is that GAAR has the power to affect any transaction that has the purpose of eliminating or reducing tax. But there has been little in the way of practical guidance to make informed planning decisions – until now.

The Essential GAAR Manual: Policies, Principles and Procedures is written by Canada's most highly regarded team of experts on GAAR issues at Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP: William I. Innes, LLB, LLM; Patrick J. Boyle, LLB; and Joel Nitikman, LLB, LLM. It was designed with your tax planning practice in mind and includes useful and accessible reference tools that will arm you with the knowledge and insight to inform your clients properly. It answers questions that will affect your tax planning strategies, such as:

• What's the future of GAAR after Canada Trustco and Mathew?
• What's a "textual, contextual and purposive" analysis?
• What does the Supreme Court of Canada mean by requiring that tax measures be "predictable"?
• What is the future of corporate tax planning?
• What is the future of family and estate planning?
• How will commercial tax shelters fare under the "new" GAAR analysis?
• How does a practitioner cope with the post-Canada Trustco climate?
• How do you document a transaction that may be probed by GAAR?

The author team goes beyond a descriptive and substantive analysis and provides you with key insights into the practical application of GAAR considerations for your day-to-day practice. As the application evolves, the CRA is likely to invoke GAAR with more frequency.

The unfortunate truth is that even in our ability to retreat into ignorance, we betray the disparity in our experiences and the systemic injustice in our culture.

For many in America, responding to the seemingly-endless shootings of African Americans has become a horrific form of muscle memory. After yet another tragedy like the shooting of Ahmaud Arbery occurs, we see similar patterns: an initial burst of reporting, followed quickly by social media commentary, followed by think-pieces across various platforms, followed by social media commentary on the think-pieces.

Within a week, however, the entire matter is tied up nicely and everyone is able to move on. Most of us forget as we return to being engrossed in our lives, only to be thrust back into this cycle when another new shooting is jarring enough to penetrate the blaring noise of our daily news-cycle.

The fact that Arbery was killed in February and many didn’t know until May speaks to our dependence upon images to incite response—a dependency that, as many have pointed out, dehumanizes victims and establishes a bar of proof we don’t demand of others.

Moreover, the fact that only images push us to take seriously these stories underlines the frenetic nature of our media landscape. So few stories not drenched in the political and culture wars theming our day are able to rise above the chaos to capture our attention. That many are feeling oversaturated and digitally burned out during our current crisis has only exacerbated this problem of ignorance.

The unfortunate truth is that even in our ability to retreat into ignorance, we betray the disparity in our experiences and the systemic injustice in our culture. While this story (despite being so relevant and discussed currently) will fade for most of us, for others this story is their experience. They carry it with them when they wonder if it is safe to go for runs in ...
