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 Bottom Line Magazine: Canada's premier newspaper for accountants – The Essential GAAR Manual

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) issues income tax interpretation bulletins (ITs) to provide technical interpretations and positions regarding certain provisions contained in income tax law. Due to their technical nature, ITs are used primarily by CRA staff and tax specialists. An interpretation or position contained in an IT generally applies as of the date on which it was published, unless otherwise specified.

If you seek to provide the optimal solution on income tax related matters, then you need these invaluable resources. Income Tax Bulletins, Circulars, and Technical News is the only comprehensive print reference book that consolidates the Canada Revenue Agency's interpretations of the Income Tax Act; CRA procedures, practices, and administration policies; and CRA's position on recent court decisions. It offers three separate indexes to assist you in searching for the information you need fast.

• The Topical Index references specific topics of interest.
• The Sectional Index allows you to search for a document applicable to a provision in the Income Tax Act
• The Numerical Finding Index references the exact page of the circular, bulletin, or technical news that you need

This reference book is produced annually. The 2010 edition is consolidated to May 31, 2010.

CCH's Forensic and Investigative Accounting (5th Edition) is a complete and readily teachable text on today's most timely accounting topics. Written by three top accounting and forensic teachers, this text covers all the important underpinnings, as well as the substance of forensic accounting. It covers both litigation support and investigative accounting, examining the practical aspects of these two areas, as well as many of the newer technological areas.

Forensic and Investigative Accounting explains and demonstrates how an effective forensic accountant needs a solid understanding of accounting, investigative auditing techniques, criminology, and courtroom procedures, as well as excellent communications skills, both written and oral. In today's litigious and highly regulated climate, all accountants-external, internal, forensic consultants, and corporate accountants-must possess this knowledge base and develop these techniques.

CONTENTS:
Forensic and Investigative Accounting is presented in 18 Chapters divided into five Parts, beginning with a discussion of fundamental concepts and culminating in a real-world case study that ties the elements together.
