Scott Hannay / Excellent interaction

I have dealt with Scott Hannay recently to get some advice on how to approach a serious tax dilemma. I had a serious car accident in Sept 2023 and ended up in a coma on life support for 3 weeks. When I returned home I was greeted with a letter from the CRA stating that I owe them $23000 for unpaid interest and penalties accrued over a 12 year period. I was dealing with enough stress from the accident that I certainly didn’t need the additional stress of this news..

I spoke to Scott over the phone on a couple occasions in order to get a grasp on what I might do to help my situation and was able to ask a few questions to understand my options.

Each dealing I had with Scott was a pleasant one and he showed compassion for my situation and I really felt he cared and related to me in a way that gave me some comfort. Scott’s ability to provide knowledgeable advice and direction while being completely personable was truly helpful and I can’t say how much I appreciate his help. Scott’s level of expertise and professionalism was very impressive but what meant so much was that Scott had been in a similar type of traumatic accident and he was able to connect with me on that level.

I would highly recommend Scott Hannay to anyone who is dealing with any tax related or simply life related issues. I am confident Scott would provide outstanding advice and offer helpful services to anyone in need.

I appreciate my dealings with Scott immensely. Wishing him all the best.

Fantastic Team and Service

My fear of the CRA became overwhelming and was compounding my issues. I reached out to the Farber team hoping, but not expecting someone could help me. The initial consultation with James and team was wonderful and from there, the experience just got better.
I was fortunate enough to have Scott Hannay and Mike Vorona on my side. Their incredible communication, knowledge and assurance literally gave me back the ability to sleep at night. They worked out a plan that was livable. At no time did I feel judged or belittled but rather I felt assured and educated.
I highly recommend having Farber Tax handle any CRA issues you may have.

Difficulties made easier with the help of Farber

I had a very unique and difficult experience made easier and better with the people from Farber Tax Law. All members of the team showed me respect and helped calm a situation I found myself in. In particular I appreciate the Manager Scott Hannay who helped me to learn, and understand my rights. Thank you FARBER TAX LAW.

Great service Scott Hannay was fantastic

I want to take this oppurtunity to say a huge thank you for the great work that you did (Scott and overall team). Your communications were always timely and clear as were your dealings with the collectors. It was a substantial amount i had owing, but you were able to help me navigate through it without any of my assets being frozen, and minimal disclosure both of which i view as a huge win.

Solved a problem but caused another

Did a solid job resolving a VPD (Voluntary Public Disclosure) for me for a set rate. Who was helping me kept changing which was a little crazy, but they resolved the issue. However, this resulted in causing another issue in terms of my TFSA, but they have worked with me to help resolve the issue.

DIRECTORS RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY

I cannot sing the praises enough of Farber Taxation Solutions and particularly Danny DUCAS, for his professionalism, experience and encouragement throughout my nightmare with the CRA. In the event, that you find yourself on the wrong side of the CRA, I do not hesitate to highly recommend Danny DUCAS and Farber Taxation Solutions for any and all of your TAX issues. My situation was resolved completely and successfully! Thanks for everything!

Much needed help... Delivered!

The day you check your bank account and realize its frozen is the day you feel helpless until you call CRA collection agent thenyou feel even more helpless through their scared tactics and threat to destroy all you worked for.

I'm to blame for the problems I got into but between paying suppliers and CRA and went with my suppliers to be able to rise up and pay CRA. WRONG! CRA is always first and I learned my lesson but then I was still without a bank account.

Scott was amazing to work with. He understood my situation and was very straight forward as for the next step. I know I would have never been able to buy me time to get things resolved.

DebtCare were the ones who recommended Farber Tax.

As much as Scott is a great guy, I hope to never have to use his services again! If you find yourself stuck in a corner, don't hesitate to call them up.

Customer Focus at its best!

It is so rare to find a company fully engaged in customer service the way Farber is. I had barely pressed “send” when I received a SMS asking if I was available to talk then and there. Within minutes, Patricia called me, reviewed my case in brief, and set up a free one hour consultation with James for a few hours later that same day. James was professional and reassuring...he listened and gave me sound advice. I have taken his advice and I know that Farber will be there for me if I require further assistance. Dealing with the CRA can by nerve-wracking, but Farber made my experience cool and calm....

Thanks to Farber Tax Solutions and Danny Ducas

Thanks to Farber Tax Solutions and specifically Danny Dudas we submitted an Objection of Assessment to the CRA and were successful. The assessment was significant and unjustified. We are thrilled that our objection was allowed in full. This successful outcome is totally due to Danny’s experience and skill
And his careful guidance to us in providing the appropriate documents. The loss of the objection would have meant the sale of our home. How can you truly thank someone for helping you continue to remain in your home! Danny was professional, extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. We are forever grateful to Farber Tax Solutions and Danny Ducas. One of the best decisions we have ever made to hire them to assist us. We could never have done this on our own.

Wonderful experience

We were contacted by the CRA that my wife and I were being audited for the home sale back in 2016. Sent out all the requested information by the CRA and shortly after - a response letter indicating our home sale will be treated as a business transaction.

This is not right. We knew we needed a professional help and came across Farber Tax Law on the internet. It had such a good review i decided to give them a call.

One of the best decisions I ever made. I knew right away I'll be in good hands during our initial free consultation.

To Ms. Selena Ing and her team at Farber Tax Law - THANK YOU so much for your prompt resolution to our CRA tax audit.

Absolutely worth it

I was audited and felt very scared and had no idea where to turn. I found very few people willing to help me and I was completely out of my depth. The result I got with the CRA was the best possible scenario, and the peace of mind I got from having Farber Tax handle my case, was huge. It's hard to pay out extra money when you are already scared of loosing a lot of money, but it was absolutely worth it for me. Felix was fantastic, I am so grateful to him!

Tax Arrears

I just recently had to deal with the CRA for arrears owed. They were asking for unreasonable terms of repayment as if they had no understanding that all 'income' is not necessarily 'profit'. Assistance from Farber meant I could focus on my business at hand and they were able to negotiate what I thought were more fair terms.

Tax arrears assistance, excellent service and outcome

I recently had the unpleasant experience of owing CRA some back taxes. On first review they took the original amount owed and increased it by 3.5 times, disallowing significant deductions and just being the typical unreasonable CRA we all know and hate. Felix was assigned to my case and kept me informed throughout, followed my suggested direction and was able to obtain all of my due deductions reducing the amount significantly. I'm not happy with CRA and still believe they are unreasonable but dealing with Farber and Felix made the experience much more bearable. I'd recommend anyone asking for assistance with tax issues to use Farber Tax Solutions. Thanks to Felix and team!
