Tax Debt and CRA Collections

Tax debt owing to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) can quickly become overwhelming. If you’re facing collection action, a Toronto tax lawyer can help you understand your options and take immediate steps to protect your finances. Between penalties, compound interest, and aggressive collection efforts, what starts as a manageable balance can spiral out of control fast.

CRA Collections Officers Have Unique Powers

CRA collections officers have tools at their disposal that regular creditors don’t. They can:

• Seize your bank accounts;
• Garnish your wages;
• Issue requirements to pay, forcing clients, customers, or tenants to send money to the CRA instead of you;
• Register liens against your home or property; or

• Seize physical assets and business equipment.

They often act quickly and can be aggressive or difficult to negotiate with. CRA officers are trained to push for full, immediate payment, regardless of your financial situation.
