Canada Revenue Agency
May 22nd, 2008 by Questions
If I were to file a Divisional One Proposal soon – would I also be able to claim any tax owing for current year Jan 2008 to the day I filed the proposal? Or is that only in a Bankruptcy? I currently owe them about 30K for 2007 and before and probably owe another 6K for 2008.

Your taxes can be included up to the date you file bankruptcy, so if you filed May 15th 2008 they would be included up to that date. Now there is a provisional tax return of the period of January 1 2008 to the date you filed for bankruptcy that your trustee must file, but as long as you provide him the necessary tax information there really isn’t much of a problem.
The bigger trick is proposing a settlement to CRA. In most places of the country they are currerntly voting down most proposals unless they pay back 100% of the principle of the tax debt. However, I was talking to a trustee in Saskatchewan last week and they haven’t had any problems with CRA doing this. So the best thing for you to do is contact a local trustee and see what CRA has been doing in your area.
