Trust the Experts

Founded in 1981, LWA has a history of excellence in recovering overpaid and under-claimed taxes. More than four decades later, LWA has successfully recovered significant amounts of money for our clients with operations across Canada.

In today’s fast-paced work environment, it is nearly impossible for organizations to keep up with ongoing policy and regulation changes, so LWA has mastered the complex area of tax exemptions to help you succeed in your business. The LWA family is always ready to work with you and increase your bottom line.

What we do

We recover money for organizations in the form of overpaid and underclaimed taxes.

We do this with expert interpretation of tax legislation, specifically commodity tax law, in relation to an organization’s particular operations.

Each case is unique, and much of what we capture is an “exception to the rule”.
