Farber Tax Solutions has been a godsend for me. What I perceived as extremely complicated and anticipated an extremely difficult endeavour has been simplified and solved in just a few phone calls. James Bell and Jane Woo have been a joy to work with and I highly recommend them to anyone experiencing difficulties with the CRA.

Okay, hands down James Bell and his team are amazing! From the moment my husband made first contact with their firm to the phone appointment with Mr. James Bell was absolutely seamless and professional! My hubby could not pay his personal and corporate taxes for a few months due to job loss which is of no fault of his own. Given the terrible economy we are in right now it was either put food on the table , pay our mortgage or pay CRA the monthly tax money owed. Mind you he had been paying them diligently for a few years already but this time he was unemployed for 4 months so CRA threatened legal action by freezing his bank account or garnishing his account so basically we have no access to his pay. I don't work and haven't for 7 years due to medical and chronic illnesses so I rely on him as my sole caregiver . Long story short CRA made our lives a living hell for 2 weeks till we called Farber tax solutions and thankfully spoke to James Bell yesterday afternoon and he put us both at ease and gave us to the point practical actions and solutions that we can take to deal with cra people who are quite intimidating from their letters to talking to them over the phone. We thought that this is it my husband was going to be thrown into jail I really panicked so I did my google search and thank goodness found Mr James Bell. He is one of a kind! He is very well versed in the entire CRA tax collector realm of things, tax law etc and a wealth of information! , listen if you are feeling stuck just do yourself or your loved one a favor and just call Farber tax solutions like now! Thanks again to Farber tax solutions and Mr. James Bell for helping us so now we have a clearer picture of what to do and also knowing we can call you in the future as well!

I can't say enough about James Bell. He literally gave me my life back. My husband, unknowingly, invested in a tax shelter that proved to be a scam. That was 20 yrs ago. He passed away 10 yrs ago. 1 1/2 yrs ago, cra wanted me to pay an atrocious for his outstanding tax return dating back to 2004. James has helped me to understand exactly what I was dealing with. What peace of mind!!! Thank you again James. I appreciated every second of my consult.

James was a fantastic advisor for my family as we dealt with the mistake-ridden audit of the CRA. James has 33 years of experience working at the CRA and helping others navigate tax issues with CRA. He has a wealth of information about the inner workings of CRA and how best to work with them to reduce your tax headaches that have been brought by the mistakes of CRA audits.

I contacted Farber Tax Solutions to receive consultation on the HST audit assessment for our business and had a free consultation call with James Bell. James provided us with a very thorough description of the process for appealing the assessment, explained all our options and provided very actionable and practical recommendations for the next steps. Throughout the conversation we felt James had our interests his first priority. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone who needs help navigating the taxation issues. Thank you James.
