tax exempt income and bankruptcy

July 29th, 2008 by Questions

If my spouse is earning tax exempt income and is not bankrupting do we have to claim that income monthly on the forms. Our trustee is airing on the side of caution but this is not income in any other government paper work? Is this something a lawyer should answer?

The Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act includes any/all income received in the household when determining a person’s surplus income obligation. It is not open to interpretation – income is income is income no matter where it comes from.
