The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) offers taxpayers a second chance to correct earlier mistakes and put their tax affairs in order. Through the Voluntary Disclosures Program (VDP) more Canadians than ever are coming forward and declaring previously unreported income or correcting inaccurate or incomplete information. The number of disclosures has steadily increased over the past five years.

If your tax affairs need to be corrected, come forward now and take this opportunity to make things right.
