REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT BY: DESJARDINS, J.A.
Date: 20040128
Docket: A-143-03
CORAM: DESJARDINS J.A.
BETWEEN:
ADAM MAKARUK
Applicant
and
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CANADA
Respondent
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
(Delivered from the Bench at Edmonton, Alberta
on January 27, 2004)
[1] The applicants in this file and in file A-144-03, which were joined for hearing, claim that the figures retained by the Tax Court Judge as the net income generated by their business for the taxation years 1998 - 1999 and 2000 were inaccurate and that she erred in relying on them.
[2] Yet these figures were agreed to by the applicants at the beginning of the hearing before the Tax Court Judges as demonstrated by the transcript of evidence at page 29 of the Respondent's record.
[3] The applicants are therefore foreclosed to raise the point that relying on the agreed-to figures constituted an error made by the Tax Court Judge.
[4] Furthermore, the applicants allege that the respondent made a calculation error in the amount of $22,500 in computing the income for the taxation year 2000. We are satisfied that the error is one of transcription in the preparation of the financial statement and that it does not affect the result.
[5] The applications for judicial review will be dismissed. The respondent will be entitled to one set cost and disbursements in both files
[6] A copy of these reasons will be placed on file A-144-03 in support of the judgment rendered therein.
