font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.6px;\">Broader Eligibility<\/strong><\/h2><p>The updated VDP adopts a more flexible approach to eligibility. Under the previous rules, certain CRA communications could prevent a taxpayer from making a voluntary disclosure. Under the revised program, receiving a general educational or compliance letter from the CRA will not automatically disqualify an applicant.<\/p><p>However, the VDP remains unavailable where the CRA has already initiated an audit, enforcement action, or investigation relating to the issue being disclosed.<\/p><h3><strong>Two New Relief Categories<\/strong><\/h3><p>The former General Program and Limited Program have been replaced with two new categories:<\/p><p><strong>&#8220;Non-Prompted&#8221; Relief<\/strong> generally applies where a taxpayer comes forward before the CRA has identified the non-compliance. Successful applicants may receive:<\/p><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li><p>100% relief from penalties;<\/p><\/li><li><p>75% relief from applicable interest; and<\/p><\/li><li><p>Protection from criminal prosecution for the matters disclosed.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><strong>&#8220;Prompted&#8221; Partial Relief <\/strong>generally applies where the disclosure is prompted by prior CRA contact but the taxpayer remains eligible for the VDP. Applicants may receive:<\/p><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li><p>Up to 100% relief from penalties, depending on the circumstances;<\/p><\/li><li><p>25% relief from applicable interest; and<\/p><\/li><li><p>Protection from criminal prosecution for the matters disclosed.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p>This new framework is intended to provide meaningful relief even where a taxpayer has had some contact with the CRA, while reserving the greatest benefits for taxpayers who voluntarily disclose non-compliance before being identified.<\/p><h3><strong>Increased Interest Relief<\/strong><\/h3><p>One of the most notable improvements is the increase in interest relief available under the program. Under the previous General Program, interest relief was generally limited to 50%. The revised General Relief stream increases this to 75%, while the new Partial Relief stream provides 25% interest relief.<\/p><h3><strong>Clearer Documentation Requirements<\/strong><\/h3><p>The CRA has also clarified the documentation generally expected to accompany a disclosure involving multiple taxation years:<\/p><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li><p>Foreign-source income or assets: generally the most recent 10 years;<\/p><\/li><li><p>Canadian-source income or assets: generally the most recent 6 years; and<\/p><\/li><li><p>GST\/HST matters: generally the most recent 4 years.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p>The CRA may request additional information where necessary to review an application.<\/p><h3><strong>Simplified Application Process<\/strong><\/h3><p>Updated administrative guidance and a revised Form RC199 are intended to simplify the disclosure process and provide greater certainty regarding eligibility and available relief.<\/p><h3><strong>Practical Implications<\/strong><\/h3><p>The revised VDP is generally more taxpayer-friendly than the previous framework. By broadening eligibility, increasing interest relief, and simplifying the relief structure, the CRA has made the program more accessible for taxpayers seeking to correct past non-compliance.<\/p><p>Taxpayers considering a voluntary disclosure should act promptly. Once the CRA has commenced an audit or investigation into the relevant matter, access to the VDP may no longer be available.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5fc690d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5fc690d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7c669ed\" data-id=\"7c669ed\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-b370140 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b370140\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-a0a28b6\" data-id=\"a0a28b6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bbe8f42 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bbe8f42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why Choose the Voluntary Disclosures Program?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e0c7e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"0e0c7e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element-custom_font_size elementor-element-custom_font_family elementor-element-custom_font_weight elementor-element-custom_color elementor-element elementor-element-1718cc9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1718cc9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>1. <strong>Reduce Penalties\/Interes<\/strong>t: By disclosing your errors voluntarily, you may be eligible for reduced penalties and interest, potentially saving you significant amounts of money;<\/p><p>2. <strong>Avoid Criminal Prosecution<\/strong>: Participating in the VDP can protect you from criminal charges related to tax evasion;
