Your own calculations and budget revisions may show that you will be unable to pay the balance owing on or before the deadline. So what can you do?<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><em>Note: This post was updated on March 26, 2018.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Make an arrangement with the Canada Revenue Agency and Revenu Qu\u00e9bec to repay income tax debt<\/h2>\n<p>If you are facing income tax debt that you cannot repay, you are not alone. According to the Canada Revenue Agency\u00a0(CRA), <strong>1 out of 10\u00a0Canadians with income tax problems does not reimburse his or her debt on time<\/strong>. Fortunately, the CRA and Revenu Qu\u00e9bec provide taxpayers with some measures to facilitate the reimbursement of their income tax debt.<\/p>\n<h3>Payment arrangements<\/h3>\n<p>Under particular circumstances, <strong>the CRA and Revenu Qu\u00e9bec may accept to enter into a payment arrangement with taxpayers<\/strong>. Therefore, if you cannot pay your income tax debt, contact these organisations to check if you are eligible to such a measure. This type of arrangement may enable you to reimburse your debt through several installments.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say that you will be required to comply with this arrangement, failing which it could be cancelled. In the event of a default on your part, recovery procedures may furthermore be initiated against you to recuperate the outstanding amount.<\/p>\n<h3>Relief provisions<\/h3>\n<p><strong>The CRA and Revenu Qu\u00e9bec sometimes agree to alleviate income tax debt.<\/strong> They could therefore cancel interest charges of a taxpayer if he is unable to reimburse his or her income tax debt without compromising the satisfaction of some basic needs, that is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>shelter;<\/li>\n<li>food;<\/li>\n<li>travel;<\/li>\n<li>medical care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Obviously, such exemptions are very rare. They are only granted in exceptional cases.<\/p>\n<h2>Alternatives to repay income tax debt<\/h2>\n<p>Contrary to a\u00a0widespread myth,\u00a0<strong>income tax debt can be included in a consumer proposal or a bankruptcy<\/strong>. Therefore, such alternatives may be considered if you do not succeed in your negotiations with the CRA or Revenu Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n<h3>Consumer proposal<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/ginsberg-gingras.com\/en\/a-consumer-proposal\/\">consumer proposal<\/a> is a settlement offer made by a debtor to his creditors. <strong>This alternative allows to eliminate income tax debt as well as any other debt with unsecured creditors.<\/strong> The latter debts refer to cases for which no lien has been registered by the lender\u00a0\u2014 a credit card debt for instance. In contrast, mortgages are debts with secured creditors.<\/p>\n<p>The consumer proposal is characterised by the following elements.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Licensed Insolvency Trustee (LIT) who administers of the consumer proposal determines<strong> your true capacity to repay your debt<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>The LIT\u00a0<strong>writes the consumer proposal and presents it to the creditors<\/strong>, including the RCA and Revenu Qu\u00e9bec.<\/li>\n<li>The consumer proposal is a <strong>settlement offer that corresponds to a percentage of your entire debt<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>If the offer is accepted by the creditors, you will be required to make <strong>only one monthly payment to reimburse all the debts<\/strong> referred to in the consumer proposal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Once the conditions defined in the consumer proposal are met, the debtor\u2019s income tax debt is eliminated.<\/strong> All other debt referred to in the proposal are also wiped out, even though the total sum of the reimbursement will cover only a fraction of the amount of the debts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recovery procedures\u00a0(threats, seizures, etc.) are suspended and the accrual of interests ceases.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Bankruptcy<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Bankruptcy is a last resort measure.<\/strong> When no other alternative is applicable, it is still possible to resort to <a href=\"http:\/\/ginsberg-gingras.com\/en\/personal-bankruptcy\/\">bankruptcy<\/a> to eliminate income tax debts.<\/p>\n<p>The bankruptcy procedure is characterised by the following elements.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Licensed Insolvency Trustee\u00a0<strong>takes charge of the procedure and contacts your creditors<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>In a bankruptcy procedure, <strong>some assets are exempt from seizure<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Assets which are not exempt from seizure are sold by the LIT<\/strong>; the proceeds of their sale will be apportioned between the creditors.<\/li>\n<li>You will be required to make <strong>only one monthly payment<\/strong>, directly to the LIT. These payments will be used to reimburse your creditors.<\/li>\n<li>Based on various factors, <strong>the monthly instalments will be spread over a period of 9 to 36\u00a0months<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Once the conditions are met, <strong>you will be discharged from bankruptcy and benefit from a fresh new start, free of debt<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Take the first step<\/h2>\n<p>The worst thing you can do if you owe income tax debt is to ignore the problem. Contact the CRA and Revenu Qu\u00e9bec without delay to talk about your situation. Try to enter into a payment arrangement or to apply for a taxpayer relief. If you do not succeed, <a href=\"http:\/\/ginsberg-gingras.com\/en\/on-line-consultation\/\">contact a Licensed Insolvency Trustee<\/a>. A LIT will be able to suggest various ways to pay your income tax debt. The first consultation being free, you have everything to gain.\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"5598\" class=\"elementor elementor-5598 elementor-5442\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section data-dce-background-color=\"#008969\" data-dce-background-image-url=\"https:\/\/ginsberg-gingras.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/bande_verte.jpg\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-31d68664 outils_prenez_trouver wide_block wide_block_blog elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"31d68664\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-73342f9b\" data-id=\"73342f9b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div data-dce-title-color=\"#FFFFFF\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-357d531c elementor-view-default elementor-position-block-start elementor-mobile-position-block-start elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"357d531c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#rendezvous\" class=\"elementor-icon\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-label=\"Make an&lt;br&gt; appointment\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" id=\"Layer_1\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" viewBox=\"0 0 79 93.5\" style=\"enable-background:new 0 0 79 93.5;\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><style type=\"text\/css\">\t.st0{fill:#FFFFFF;}\t.st1{fill:none;stroke:#FFFFFF;stroke-width:1.314;stroke-miterlimit:10;}<\/style><g>\t<g>\t\t<path class=\"st0\" d=\"M54.6,37.2c1.3,0,2.3-1,2.3-2.3v-8.6c0-1.3-1-2.3-2.3-2.3c-1.3,0-2.3,1-2.3,2.3v8.6    C52.2,36.2,53.3,37.2,54.6,37.2\"><\/path>\t\t<path class=\"st0\" d=\"M63.4,83.8H14.6c-2.3,0-4.2-2.1-4.2-4.7v-32h57.1v32C67.5,81.7,65.7,83.8,63.4,83.8 M63.4,28.3h-4.6V33h4.6    c2.3,0,4.2,2.1,4.2,4.7v4.8H10.4v-4.8c0-2.6,1.9-4.7,4.2-4.7h4.6v-4.6h-4.6c-4.9,0-8.8,4.2-8.8,9.3v41.5c0,5.1,4,9.3,8.8,9.3h48.8    c4.9,0,8.8-4.2,8.8-9.3V37.7C72.2,32.5,68.2,28.3,63.4,28.3\"><\/path>\t<\/g>\t<rect x=\"27.5\" y=\"28.3\" class=\"st0\" width=\"22.9\" height=\"4.6\"><\/rect>\t<g>\t\t<path class=\"st0\" d=\"M23.4,37.2c1.3,0,2.3-1,2.3-2.3v-8.6c0-1.3-1-2.3-2.3-2.3c-1.3,0-2.3,1-2.3,2.3v8.6    C21,36.2,22.1,37.2,23.4,37.2\"><\/path>\t\t<path class=\"st0\" d=\"M41.1,60.1h-4.3v-4.3h4.3V60.1z M43.1,51.9h-8.3c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2v8.2c0,1.1,0.9,2,2,2h8.3c1.1,0,2-0.9,2-2    v-8.2C45.1,52.8,44.2,51.9,43.1,51.9\"><\/path>\t\t<path class=\"st0\" d=\"M57.4,60.1h-4.3v-4.3h4.3V60.1z M59.4,51.9h-8.3c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2v8.2c0,1.1,0.9,2,2,2h8.3c1.1,0,2-0.9,2-2    v-8.2C61.4,52.8,60.5,51.9,59.4,51.9\"><\/path>\t\t<path class=\"st0\" d=\"M24.8,60.1h-4.3v-4.3h4.3V60.1z M26.8,51.9h-8.3c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2v8.2c0,1.1,0.9,2,2,2h8.3c1.1,0,2-0.9,2-2    v-8.2C28.8,52.8,27.9,51.9,26.8,51.9\"><\/path>\t\t<path class=\"st0\" d=\"M41.1,75.4h-4.3v-4.3h4.3V75.4z M43.1,67.2h-8.3c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2v8.2c0,1.1,0.9,2,2,2h8.3c1.1,0,2-0.9,2-2    v-8.2C45.1,68.1,44.2,67.2,43.1,67.2\"><\/path>\t\t<path class=\"st0\" d=\"M24.8,75.4h-4.3v-4.3h4.3V75.4z M26.8,67.2h-8.3c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2v8.2c0,1.1,0.9,2,2,2h8.3c1.1,0,2-0.9,2-2    v-8.2C28.8,68.1,27.9,67.2,26.8,67.2\"><\/path>\t<\/g><\/g><\/svg>\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-icon-box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#rendezvous\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMake an<br> appointment\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6e1427 vis elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f6e1427\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
