In light of the Canada Revenue Agency’s (CRA) annual report revealing that there has been a significant increase in the number of Canadians coming forward to correct their tax affairs under the Voluntary Disclosures Program (VDP), we wanted to give some insight into what the VDP is about.

Mr. Friedman is a tax partner at McMillan LLP and head of the firm’s Tax Group.
