Why Hire Ummat Tax Law PC?
Amit Ummat is a tax litigator based in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area who represents individuals, corporations, and professional advisors in high-stakes disputes with the Canada Revenue Agency. He focuses exclusively on tax controversy work, guiding clients from audit through objection, Tax Court litigation, and judicial review. His practice is defined by technically complex files, significant financial exposure, and matters where reputational, commercial, or even criminal consequences are in play.
Mr. Ummat is widely recognized for taking on the kinds of cases other counsel are reluctant to pursue. His work frequently involves GAAR assessments, gross negligence penalties, large corporate reassessments, offshore and residency disputes, valuation issues, and parallel civil and criminal exposure. He also advises on extraordinary remedies including rectification applications and remission orders, areas requiring both technical precision and strategic judgment at the highest level.
Before founding his own practice, Mr. Ummat trained and worked in leading tax environments, developing deep familiarity with how disputes are actually resolved inside the system, not merely how they appear in legislation or commentary. He appears regularly before the Tax Court of Canada and engages extensively with the CRA at the audit and appeals stages, where many outcomes are effectively determined. His approach combines rigorous legal analysis with practical litigation strategy, allowing clients to make informed decisions under uncertainty.
Mr. Ummat works closely with accountants, in-house counsel, and other professional advisors across the GTHA. A significant portion of his practice arises from referrals by senior CPAs and law firms seeking specialized litigation expertise when matters escalate beyond compliance or planning. He is known for being responsive, candid, and solutions-oriented, with a focus on protecting both the client’s position and the advisor’s relationship with that client.
As a thought leader in tax controversy, Mr. Ummat publishes commentary on important developments in tax litigation, CRA enforcement trends, and strategic considerations for advisors managing audit risk. His writing emphasizes practical guidance rather than abstract theory, reflecting the realities faced by businesses and high-net-worth individuals dealing with government scrutiny.
Clients retain Mr. Ummat not only for his technical strength but also for his steady, strategic presence during stressful disputes. He provides clear assessments of risk, realistic pathways forward, and disciplined advocacy at every stage. Whether negotiating with the CRA, advancing a novel legal argument, or preparing a case for trial, his objective is the same: to achieve the best possible outcome while maintaining control of the process.
Mr. Ummat is committed to building a practice defined by depth rather than volume. By concentrating on complex, high-impact matters and maintaining a visible presence in both the courtroom and the professional community, he aims to serve as a trusted authority in tax litigation throughout the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.
