22 May 2014 Ponoka Liason Meeting Roundtable, 2014-0528451C6 - Cost of Making Voluntary Disclosure -- summary under Legal and other Professional Fees

This was a follow-up query on 2012-0437831E5, indicating that voluntary disclosure costs were not deductible, as they were neither incurred to earn income from business or property, nor in relation to an objection or appeal. After confirming this position, CRA stated:

However, where a taxpayer earns income from a business, the cost of making a voluntary disclosure relating to that business may be deductible as a cost of representation pursuant to paragraph 20(1)(cc).
