Kary James Ghali
CPA, CGA
Kary James Ghali CPA, CGA has worked in indirect tax for over 20 years. For the first 7 years he worked in various areas of the CRA (Revenue Canada). As one of the original GST auditors hired for the then new tax he was involved in some of the more complex industry audits such as financial services, transportation (airline, railroad), NPO's and charities. He also participated and led EDP audits of the largest registrants before moving to the Appeals Section where he dealt with Notices of Objection. He was then appointed to the GST/HST Litigation Section. Prior to leaving the CRA, he was responsible for all the GST/HST Tax Court of Canada Appeals in the Pacific Region.
As the Principal Keytax consultant, Kary has successfully represented clients in the audit and objection stage in GST/HST and in all the Canadian Provincial Sales Taxes (BC PST, Quebec Sales Tax, Manitoba, Saskatchewan PST, Ontario and the Maritime Provinces). He has also represented clients in Sales and Use Tax audits in numerous US States. Kary has helped clients file their GST Appeals in the Tax Court of Canada. His experience of looking at transactions from different viewpoints has helped create and expand numerous opportunities for saving his clients indirect taxes.
The opportunities that I had in working in the three areas of the CRA; Assessment, Appeals and Litigation combined with helping my clients save money in both audit defense and in recovering overpaid Sales Taxes has given me a valuable insight in balancing the rights of taxpayers to pay only the taxes that are owed, with a tax authority's right to protect the revenue. With new industries being created and more complex legislation competing with new ways of doing things it is an exciting time to be in the indirect tax field and I look forward to help you achieve your Sales Tax goals
