Voluntary Disclosure Program
Introduction: The Voluntary Disclosure Program (VDP) offers a pathway for individuals and businesses to correct inaccuracies or omissions in their dealings with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) while potentially avoiding penalties or prosecution.
Understanding the Voluntary Disclosure Program
- Eligibility Criteria: The VDP is available for disclosures that are voluntary, complete, involve a penalty, and include information that is at least one year overdue.
- Benefits of Voluntary Disclosure: By voluntarily disclosing, clients can avoid penalties, reduce interest charges, and gain relief from prosecution related to the disclosed information.
- Types of Disclosures: Covers a range of tax matters, including income tax, GST/HST, source deductions, and charges under the Excise Tax Act or Excise Act.
