Peter’s practice is focused predominantly on the Canadian income tax aspects of:

  • estate planning and wealth management
  • migration and preserving wealth
  • corporate reorganizations
  • investments in Canadian real estate or businesses. 

As part of his practice, Peter offers his clients tax-efficient solutions for Canadians leaving Canada as well as for Canadians investing abroad. He also assists clients in resolving disputes with the Canada Revenue Agency and works with taxpayers wishing to make a voluntary disclosure.

Fluent in Cantonese as well as English, Peter has advised Cantonese-speaking clients from Hong Kong and certain parts of China.

Peter fournit des services juridiques par l’intermédiaire d’une société professionnelle.

Experience

  • Advised and implemented non-resident trust structures for new immigrants to Canada whereby Canadian taxes could be minimized or avoided and capital may be repatriated to Canada without taxation.
