P1058 Business & Professions Code sections prohibiting professional tax preparers from voluntarily disclosing their clients' information do not create a privilege preventing the admissibility of tax returns, nor do Civil Code sections prohibiting the disclosure of tax information obtained from a consumer in connection with a financial or other business-related transaction; those statutes and California case law that may create a general privilege for tax returns do not apply to foreign tax returns.CitationFIRESTONE v HOFFMAN (Canadian Taxes) 140 CA4 1408 [See: EvC 210; CivC 1799.1a; B&PC 17530.5; Webb v Standard Oil 49 C2 509]
