In most instances the court doesn’t focus on the amount of debt, they are more interested in the type of debts, whether or not you were acting in good faith and whether or not you were compliant in a timely fashion with the duties required under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (i.e. payments, income and expense statements etc.)

In terms of tax debt, in most circumstances this is a debt that is cleared by bankruptcy. I recommend clicking on the Contact an Expert link on the right hand side of the page and sitting down with a Trustee in your area to outline the specific details of your situation and he will be able to give you a more definitive answer to this question.
