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.

CCH IFRS Webinar Series 2008 - Seminar 5

Significant differences can be expected in general financial statement presentation, as a result of the adoption of IFRS into Canadian GAAP. Such differences will include changes in both the presentation of a company’s balance sheet and income statement, such as differences in the nature of components presented, current and non-current classifications, presentation of line items, and required disclosures. Such changes will impact a company’s traditional key performance measures and ratios, and provide investors with new types of information. Typically, annual financial statements prepared under IFRS will be considerably longer than those prepared under previous rules, entailing considerably more disclosures. A thorough and early understanding of the impacts adoption of IFRS will have on financial statement presentation will be essential for managing stakeholder relations during and after the transition to IFRS.
