Tax Analysis

Several FMC tax lawyers are on the Editorial Board of the CCH Canadian Tax Reporter, and even more are involved in writing the CCH tax commentary in the Reporter.

On March 22, 2011, FMC tax lawyers and CCH participated in the Budget lockup to produce the CCH commentary on the Budget's tax measures. Following the lockup, the document was reviewed by members of FMC's National Tax Group who also had the opportunity to provide their commentary.

On June 6, 2011, the government did not conduct a Budget lockup, but instead made the Budget documents available at 4 p.m. Members of FMC's National Tax Group and CCH reviewed both the first and second Budget documents to provide updated and complete commentary.
