"Who cares if I owe a lot of money to CRA?  I can just go bankrupt!"

I have heard this statement quite a few times in my career... but unfortunately, there are a lot of misconceptions about bankruptcy, and in particular the interception of bankruptcy and tax debt.  Now that CRA has ramped up their collections action again, I thought it might be an appropriate time to bring on an expert to help chat about these topics.  My special guest, Michelle Scheller, is a licensed insolvency trustee with MNP Ltd., and I have referred a number of clients to her team in the past to help with particularly "sticky" CRA collections issues.  Michelle and I chat about the following:

• What is a licensed insolvency trustee? (4:40)
• What does it mean to "go bankrupt" or "be insolvent"? (5:05)
• What is a proposal versus a bankruptcy? (10:05)
• What are the special rules that apply when you have a "tax driven" bankruptcy? (16:35)
• What are the first steps you should take if you think you need help? (21:30)
