Reinstatement of GST and Income Tax Refund

I filed for personal bankruptcy in 2005, and was discharged in December 2005. I want to enquire when I would start receiving my GST payments again. Also, I didn’t realize that I would have to assign my 2005 tax refund to the trustee. Could you please verify this?

It is standard practice for all tax returns in the year of bankruptcy to be assigned over to the bankruptcy estate and these monies typically result in a small dividend that will ultimately go toward your proven unsecured creditors. As for GST, this really depeneds on when you filed bankruptcy, but usually will end 3 to 6 months after you have been discharged.
