Is Income Tax Debt Extinguished In A Bankruptcy
2011-06-24
Hello, Yes personal income tax debt is generally extinguished in a bankruptcy. However, there are instances where Canada Revenue Agency may be owed a substantial amount for GST, income debt, or source deductions and in response they may register a Certificate of Judgement on the title to your home.
