What Is the VDP?

CRA Voluntary Disclosure Program in Mississauga

The CRA Voluntary Disclosure Program (VDP) is a government program that allows taxpayers who have not complied with Canada's tax laws to come forward before the CRA contacts them. By disclosing voluntarily, you can significantly reduce or eliminate CRA penalties and avoid prosecution.

Common reasons Mississauga clients use the VDP include: unfiled tax returns for one or more years, unreported employment or self-employment income, unreported foreign income or assets, incorrect GST/HST filings, late T4 or T4A slips, and other CRA compliance issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CRA Voluntary Disclosure Program (VDP)?

The CRA Voluntary Disclosure Program (VDP) allows taxpayers to come forward and correct previously filed returns or file late returns before the CRA contacts them. A successful VDP application can result in reduced or waived penalties and partial interest relief. The VDP has two tracks: General Track (for most disclosures) and Limited Track (for sophisticated taxpayers or large corporations).

Who qualifies for the Voluntary Disclosure Program in Mississauga?

Any Mississauga individual, business, or corporation that has unfiled tax returns, unreported income, incorrect tax filings, unreported foreign income or assets, or late HST returns may qualify for the VDP. The disclosure must be voluntary (CRA cannot have already contacted you about the issue), complete, and involve a potential penalty. Our Mississauga VDP specialists will review your situation and determine eligibility.

What are the benefits of a VDP application?

A successful VDP application provides: waiver of late-filing penalties and gross negligence penalties; reduced or waived civil penalties; partial interest relief (typically 50% of interest on taxes owing for the period before the 3 most recent years); and protection from prosecution for the issues disclosed. You still owe all taxes and applicable interest, but the penalty and prosecution relief can be significant.

Each deliverable is prepared with attention to accuracy, documentation, and practical follow-up.
