Tax liabilities
Have you accumulated a tax debt and don’t see how you can pay it off within a reasonable time frame? Rest assured: there are legal and accessible solutions available.
Contrary to popular belief, tax debts—including income tax, GST/QST, and payroll deductions (RAS/DAS)—can be included in a personal bankruptcy or a proposal. They are therefore dischargeable in the same way as credit card debt, personal loan debt, or bank line-of-credit debt.
Tax liability and already facing seizure? It’s not too late to take action
Proceedings under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act have the effect of suspending most collection actions.
This includes :
- Wage garnishment
- Seizing your bank account
- Seizing your vehicle
- Seizure of certain movable assets
Whether you’re considering a proposal or bankruptcy, BRESSE advisors are on hand to clearly inform you of your rights and options.

“Until my first meeting with my BRESSE advisor, I thought I’d never make it. Martin clearly explained all my options and took the time to answer my questions. My decision was very easy. I opted for the consumer proposal. Throughout the process, I felt well supported. Thanks to the whole team. Sophie
