Understand how CRA really works. Exercise your constitutional rights to preserve what you earn. Let AltFlow handle the challenges that come with lawful tax planning—so you keep the benefits without the personal battle.
Before you can navigate the system effectively, you need to understand how it actually works. Here's the reality most Canadians don't know.
Canada has constructed a unique system where a government-owned corporation—the Canada Revenue Agency—can treat every resident as if they voluntarily joined it, even though no consent, contract, or choice was ever given.
CRA is a corporation with a single shareholder: the Crown (the government). And like all corporations, CRA exists to satisfy and work for its shareholder. Its shareholder wants revenue. Maximum revenue.
Unlike every private corporation in the country, which can only bind people who willingly enter a relationship, the CRA bypasses constitutional principles of free association and personal autonomy by claiming authority purely through jurisdiction: you live here, therefore you're "in".
Its rulebook—the Income Tax Act—functions like corporate bylaws imposed on people who never agreed to be members. Unlike normal corporate bylaws that only bind participants (shareholders, employees, contractors), CRA's bylaws bind you simply for living here, and its enforcement powers activate by default, not by consent.
This structural contradiction—between a Constitution built on individual rights and a revenue system built on compulsory inclusion—is exactly why Canadians retain the full legal right to organize their affairs using every lawful mechanism available to protect their property and preserve their autonomy.
Here's what creates the ongoing battle between Canadian residents and CRA:
CRA's mandate: The Income Tax Act itself says taxes should be applied "equitably" and "fairly" while respecting taxpayer rights and the rule of law.
CRA's actual job: Collect maximum revenue for the government. Period.
These two goals contradict each other constantly. The ITA says you can arrange your affairs to pay less tax legally (dozens of court cases confirm this). But CRA's job is to challenge those arrangements and collect more.
This tension never goes away. It's baked into the system. Understanding this is the first step to making informed decisions about your financial future.
The same Constitution that grants CRA its powers also protects your rights. Here's what you're legally entitled to do.
Everything AltFlow does is fully compliant with the Income Tax Act. We use the law exactly as it's written, supported by actual court precedents.
Real legal entities. Real contracts. Real documentation. Everything designed to withstand scrutiny from CRA or any professional advisor.
When CRA challenges your structure (and they might), AltFlow's entities bear the tax liability—not you personally. That's the difference.
We help Canadians exercise the rights the Constitution presumes they have, using the legal structures the system itself makes available.
AltFlow exists to make that right real.
Our purpose is simple: help Canadians legally minimize their tax burden using every tool the system provides.
Our flagship service. A complete solution for independent professionals who want to maximize capital retention while eliminating administrative burden and transferring CRA risk. Request the private overview below for full details.
Facing a CRA audit, reassessment, or challenge? We provide professional representation to navigate disputes and defend your position with proper documentation and expertise.
Corporate acquisitions with tax liabilities, payroll solution implementation, and other complex tax situations. We eliminate problems, not just manage them.
Will CRA potentially challenge aggressive tax planning? Yes. That's their job—they challenge anything that significantly reduces tax revenue.
Is everything we do legal and compliant? Absolutely. Every structure is based on the Income Tax Act and supported by case law.
Is there zero risk? No. There's no such thing as "zero risk" tax planning that saves significant money. Anyone promising that is lying.
So what's different about working with AltFlow? When CRA comes calling, you have a professional layer between you and them—proper structures, documentation, and representation that handles challenges on your behalf.
Let's be clear about what "risk" actually means with CRA:
What happens: CRA says you owe more money, charges interest and penalties.
Reality: It's about money, not jail. No criminal record. You can appeal to Tax Court.
What happens: CRA charges you with tax evasion and tries to put you in jail.
Reality: Requires proof of INTENTIONAL evasion. Needs criminal trial. Very rare for legitimate planning.
The real risks in most cases: Owing a tax bill, interest accumulating, legal costs, possible liens on property, time and stress dealing with CRA. Not prison. Proper structuring can allocate these risks to entities rather than individuals—that's the key to smart tax planning.
Once you understand how the game works, you have four basic paths:
Constitutional challenges, "Freeman-on-the-Land" movements. High risk of criminal charges, asset seizure, and jail time. Only for those prepared for war with the system.
Conservative deductions only, maximum compliance. You'll pay far more tax than necessary and leave massive money on the table—likely costing you hundreds of thousands over your lifetime.
Learn the Income Tax Act, structure aggressively but legally, represent yourself when CRA challenges. Massive savings, but you handle all fights, stress, and risk yourself. AltFlow offers consultations for this path.
Same aggressive legal planning as Option 3, same massive savings. Difference: we structure entities so liability falls on us, not you. We handle audits, letters, and fights. You get the benefits without the personal exposure.
The key question: Do you want to spend your time and energy fighting CRA yourself (Option 3), or pay someone to bear that risk and handle it for you (Option 4)? Both paths lead to massive tax savings. Only the risk bearer changes.
Through AltFlow and our network of specialized partners, we can address virtually any tax challenge Canadian businesses and professionals face. Every situation is unique, and we tailor our approach to your specific needs.

AltFlow works with clients who understand how the system actually works and want professional help navigating it.
Yes. Everything we do is 100% legal. We use legal structures, proper documentation, and established case law. However, being legal doesn't mean CRA won't challenge it—that's their job. The difference is how we structure risk allocation.
Possibly. CRA challenges all aggressive tax planning—that's literally their mandate. There is no tax strategy that saves significant money and has zero risk of challenge. Anyone promising otherwise is being dishonest. What matters is who bears the risk when challenges happen and how the structure is documented and defended.
