new business ?

Hello,

I am considering filing for bankruptcy. I owe 75K in payroll taxes and GST. I have a new business idea and I was wondering if I claim bankruptcy, can I open a new business before I claim ? will it be touched ? What if I incorporate it and then claim ?

You cannot be the director of a corporation while bankrupt. If your company is not a corporation, there are still a number of issues to be considered, but it is possible to go bankrupt and continue operating your business.

This is a complicated area, so you contact a licensed trustee to get advice on how best to handle your situation.
