About Beitel Tax Law LLP

Beitel Tax Law LLP is a Toronto firm that practices exclusively in Canadian tax law. The firm represents entrepreneurs, owner-managers, and private companies in disputes with the Canada Revenue Agency, working from an office on Bay Street in the city's downtown core. It traces its roots to Farber Tax Law: according to a firm announcement, the practice rebranded to Beitel Tax Law after seven years of growth within the Farber organization. Today the firm has grown to five partners, three counsel, and a group of associates and students, all working only in tax.

None of the firm's lawyers handle any area of law besides tax, and the firm says most have spent their entire careers in the field. Its work covers audit defence, CRA objections and voluntary disclosures, and appeals to the Tax Court of Canada. The firm notes that most of its cases settle through negotiation with the Department of Justice rather than going to trial. Lawyers there publish Beitel Tax Disputes for the Owner-Manager quarterly for Thomson Reuters, and the firm's work has been cited approvingly by the Supreme Court of Canada. In 2025, Canadian Lawyer named Beitel Tax Law a Top Tax Law Boutique.

The neighbourhood

Beitel Tax Law's office sits on Bay Street, at Suite 1000 of 390 Bay Street in downtown Toronto, the corridor long associated with the city's banks, insurers, and large law firms. That address puts a small tax practice in the same postal code as much larger institutions, but the firm's client list tells a different story. Its lawyers describe working mainly with owner-managed businesses in construction, trades, hospitality, real estate, and manufacturing, sectors that aren't always the focus of the larger Bay Street firms nearby.
