All Tax Debt Is Erased By Bankruptcy
We’re always surprised by how few people know that tax debt is discharged by bankruptcy. This includes:
- Personal Income Tax;
- HST;
- Source Deductions; and
- Director’s Liabilities.
High Personal Income Tax Debtors

The Judge will consider your circumstances and either grant a suspended, adjourned, or conditional order of discharge.
