Voluntary Disclosure Program (VDP) Services

Discovering an error on a past tax return—such as unreported income or incorrectly claimed expenses—can be stressful. The fear of audits, significant penalties, and interest from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is a heavy burden.

The good news is the CRA offers a path forward. The Voluntary Disclosures Program (VDP) allows you to proactively correct your tax record. At John K. Jang, CPA Professional Corporation, we specialize in confidentially guiding clients across Canada through the VDP, ensuring your application is positioned for a successful outcome.

Don’t let tax issues linger.
Addressing errors proactively is the smartest way to protect yourself and your assets before the CRA initiates contact.

Our Benefit

What are the Benefits of a Successful VDP Application?

The VDP is a powerful CRA initiative that provides relief from the most severe consequences of tax non-compliance. A successful application can grant you:

Prosecution Relief

Immunity from criminal prosecution for tax evasion.

Penalty Relief

Avoidance of most, if not all, penalties
(e.g., late-filing or instalment penalties).

Potential Interest Relief

The CRA may grant partial relief on the interest accrued on the taxes owed.

While you are still required to pay the outstanding taxes, the VDP provides a critical opportunity to come clean without facing harsh punitive measures.
Who May Need

Who Should Consider the VDP?

This program may be the right solution for you if you have:
  • Failed to file one or more tax returns
  • Under-reported your income (e.g., unreported business, rental, or foreign income)
  • Claimed expenses or credits you were not eligible for
  • Failed to remit source deductions
  • Not filed required information returns, such as Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement)
  • Made errors in GST/HST filings, such as improperly claimed Input Tax Credits () or failure to report tax liabilities.
