Imperial Oil Ltd. v. The Queen, 2003 DTC 179, 2003 TCC 46, aff'd 2003 FCA 289 -- summary under Ordinary Meaning

By services, 28 November, 2015

An argument of the Crown that a taxpayer is not entitled to object to an assessment based on its own return of income or an assessment that does not result in an adverse adjustment, was rejected. Bowman A.C.J. stated (at p. 183) that:

"There must be very compelling reasons to find that a taxpayer's rights under the Income Tax Act are implicitly restricted where the rights are explicitly conferred and no restrictions are explicitly expressed."
