It's said that after bankruptcy, you can no longer be a company director, but you can be self-employed. Self-employed individuals must charge their clients GST/QST if their income exceeds $30,000 per year. However, when you declare bankruptcy, you can no longer obtain a GST/QST number in Quebec. So, how can you be self-employed in this situation?
You can obtain tax numbers even if you are personally bankrupt.

- How long after declaring personal bankruptcy can I incorporate?
- I am a co-owner of a company (2 people). We are drowning in debt and considering bankruptcy. Since we personally guaranteed some of the company's loans and credit cards, I imagine we will be responsible for repaying these debts? If my partner becomes insolvent, would I be held liable for all of these debts (guarantees)? Would it be better for us to file for personal bankruptcy after the company goes bankrupt?
