About Artunis Law
Clients rate this firm highly on Google.
Artunis Law is a Toronto firm that concentrates on two fields, tax law and real estate law, and most of its work is GST/HST and income tax audits. Its core clients are people and businesses being audited by the Canada Revenue Agency, often over a real property disposition or income earned offshore. Individuals and homeowners come to the firm, and so do construction businesses such as builders and developers.
Julia Ghazi founded Artunis Law and focuses on tax litigation, resolving disputes with the CRA. The founder brings a Bay Street background, and before opening the firm practised tax advisory, tax controversy and real estate law at an international accounting firm in Toronto. Ghazi's credentials include an LL.M. from Osgoode Hall Law School, an LL.B. from the University of Kent, a Master of Socio-Legal Studies from York University, alternative dispute resolution training at Harvard Law School and the Chartered Accountants' In-Depth GST/HST Program.
Clients come from many cultural and continental backgrounds, and the firm's committed to offering its services in a range of languages so each client gets a more personal experience. Ghazi is fluent in Farsi, and the firm publishes an outline of its tax services in Farsi for Persian-speaking clients.
The name isn't a surname. Artunis means truthful, righteous and faithful, and the firm takes it from Lieutenant Artunis, a commander of the Achaemenid Persian army in the time of Darius the Great and the daughter of Artebaz. For the firm, the name stands for gender equality, freedom and human rights. Artunis Law works from unit 300 at 505 Eglinton Avenue West in Toronto, and new clients can book an appointment by picking one of its appointment services.
Practice areas
CRA audits, objections and Tax Court appeals
Artunis Law acts for taxpayers dealing with the CRA at every stage: audit representation, collection matters, Notices of Objection and appeals to the Tax Court of Canada. Once an appeal is under way, the firm files the notice of appeal, takes the file through document exchange, discoveries and undertakings, and prepares for and conducts the trial.
GST/HST audits for builders, investors and landlords
A dedicated part of the tax practice serves builders, developers, real estate investors and landlords facing a CRA audit or reassessment. It also covers GST/HST new housing and new residential rental property rebates, including audit letters that question whether a rebate was allowed, along with input tax credits, voluntary disclosures and requests for taxpayer relief.
Closings, new builds, Tarion and the HCRA
On the real estate side, Artunis Law reviews agreements of purchase and sale and handles mortgages, refinancing and purchases of newly built homes, plus property tax assessment appeals and non-resident tax implications. Its lawyers have handled investigations, enforcement, complaints and registration matters before Tarion and the Home Construction Regulatory Authority, including for builders and developers under Tarion investigation.
Title and property disputes
The firm also takes on title disputes over easements, liens and ownership priorities, and real estate litigation such as landlord and tenant disputes, arbitrations and mediations, working with homeowners, buyers, sellers, builders and lenders.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The office sits in 505 Eglinton Avenue West, a 20,000 square foot office building that's a short walk from two Eglinton LRT stops, Chaplin and Avenue Eglinton. Chaplin is an underground station on Line 5 Eglinton, at Chaplin Crescent in the Forest Hill neighbourhood. In 2022 the building switched its heating and cooling from gas-fired heat pumps to an all-electric VRF system, which ended its use of gas and cut its carbon footprint sharply.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I go through my CRA dispute with Artunis Law in Farsi, and how does it start?
- Artunis Law's founder, Julia Ghazi, is fluent in Farsi. For Persian-speaking clients, the firm works in three steps: a consultation to review the file, a civil contract that grants the lawyer power of attorney, and the lawyer's work to resolve the tax problem.
- Will Artunis Law step in while my CRA audit is still under way?
- Artunis Law's tax lawyers represent taxpayers during audits, which they treat as a critical and sensitive stage of a tax dispute. The firm's view is that bringing in a tax lawyer from the start of a CRA dispute protects the client's rights through lawyer-client privilege.
- If my GST/HST appeal can't be settled, will Artunis Law take it to trial at the Tax Court of Canada?
- Artunis Law recognizes that many cases settle at the Tax Court stage, but where the CRA's position is fundamentally flawed, the firm is ready to take the appeal to trial to pursue a fair resolution.
- Should I email Artunis Law the details of my CRA case before my appointment?
- Artunis Law asks people not to send confidential information or case details by email. The firm won't review that material or give advice until it has accepted someone as a client, and appointments are booked by choosing one of its appointment services.
