Tax Debt

In Canada, individuals who have significant tax debt are advised to seek legal advice from an insolvency professional immediately after they are aware that they will not be in a position to repay the tax debt. Debtors are often shocked at how quickly a tax debt increases in value once interest and penalties are included.
