Voluntary Disclosures Program (VDP)

If you have unreported income, undisclosed foreign assets, or other errors in your past tax filings, the Canada Revenue Agency’s Voluntary Disclosures Program (VDP) may provide a path to correct these issues before the CRA contacts you.

Service Overview

The VDP allows eligible taxpayers to come forward voluntarily to correct inaccurate or incomplete tax information. Common disclosures include previously unfiled tax returns, omitted income, and failure to report foreign property under Form T1135.

  • Confidential legal advice under solicitor-client privilege

Key Benefits

Avoid Prosecution

Protection from tax evasion charges when disclosure is accepted.

Penalty Relief

If accepted, your disclosure may result in relief from penalties.

Interest Savings

Potential for partial interest relief on taxes owed.

Navigating Program Complexities

The VDP has two streams—the General and Limited Program—each with different levels of relief. Navigating these distinctions and strict eligibility criteria requires careful legal analysis.
