I was the director of an incorporated company a few years ago. This company was $320,000 in debt (including GST and QST), penalties, and interest. I sold the company with a verbal agreement that the new director would file an objection, but he did nothing. I subsequently declared bankruptcy. The Quebec Revenue Agency (Revenu Québec) is aware of the situation, but recently they sent me a letter with questions to determine whether I am responsible for the tax debts. Yesterday, I also received another letter delivered by a bailiff with a new notice of assessment in my name. When the trustee in bankruptcy inquired, they were told that the notice is in the name of both the company and the director. I would like to know: if I am discharged from bankruptcy next month, can Revenu Québec assess me personally after my discharge, even though I included this amount in my bankruptcy filing?
The debts you're referring to seem to predate your personal bankruptcy.
If it's properly explained to the MRQ (Quebec Pension Plan), the contributions should be included in your bankruptcy proceedings.

- After the settlement offer is accepted, will I be able to continue operating my incorporated event planning company without any problems? I took out a $40,000 loan from the government hoping things would return to normal. However, I will likely be unable to repay it by January 1, 2222.

- Hello, I declared bankruptcy last month. I had a surplus salary, so I was paying $344 per month. However, I recently lost my job indefinitely. I contacted my trustee, and my monthly payment was reduced to $225. Is it normal that I'm still paying the surplus even though my income has been cut almost in half?
- 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?
