CRA\u2019s add-ons to tax debt can make even a modest balance balloon very quickly with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Compounding daily interest on the unpaid latest balance owing.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Interest can also be applied to unpaid instalment requirements, GST remittances and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Late filing penalties if your return is not filed on time and you have a balance owing. For example:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In 2021 most people had until April 30<sup>th<\/sup> to file and pay their 2020 returns, with self-employed individuals having until June 15 to file, although they still must have paid the balance owing by April 30<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Late filing penalties started at 5% of your 2020 balance owing plus an additional 1% for each full month you filed after the due date, to a maximum of 12 months.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Late filing penalties may be charged at double the rate if you\u2019re a habitually late filer \u2013 a 10% penalty plus 2% interest per month &#8211; making this tax debt even more expensive than many credit card interest rates!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Even if you\u2019re unable to pay your balance in full, filing as soon as possible still helps you avoid ongoing late-filing charges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t owe anything on your income tax return, it\u2019s always in your best interest to file. Being able to prove your income for credit or housing applications, and receiving benefits such as GST, GIS, Canada Child Benefit etc. are all reasons (besides fulfilling what CRA views as your obligation) to get your tax return filed on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n            <div class=\"background-block-wrapper grey\">\n            <div class=\"container\">\n                <div class=\"cols gap\">\n                                        <div class=\"col col-75\">\n    \n\n\n\n<p><u>Tax Debt Relief \u2013 COVID-19 Pandemic<\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interest relief provisions have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/services\/taxes\/income-tax\/personal-income-tax\/covid19-taxes\/interest-relief.html\">been offered by CRA<\/a> due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

She never made me feel embarrassed or judged, just supported.<br>\n<br>\nBecause of her, I finally feel like I have control over my finances again.

Contrary to what many Canadians may believe, if you find yourself facing an unmanageable CRA debt there are in fact two solutions that can allow you to have virtually all types of CRA debts forgiven\/written-off, including income taxes, business GST and more \u2013 in addition to any other consumer debts you may have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both options can effectively help you deal with your debts and stop actions such as wage garnishments and accruing interest and penalties:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sands-trustee.com\/personal-debt-consolidation\/consumer-proposals\/\">Consumer Proposals<\/a>: A unique consolidation and settlement solution that allows you to cut your consolidated debts down to an amount you can afford to repay, with the unpaid balance written-off by your creditors. No borrowing is required, and no further interest charges are applied.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sands-trustee.com\/personal-debt-consolidation\/personal-bankruptcy\/\">Bankruptcy<\/a>: If your situation leaves you unable to afford any meaningful repayment towards your debts, filing for bankruptcy can allow you to have full forgiveness for virtually all your debts. The process often lasts as little as 9 months and is generally quite private and straight-forward.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In Canada, these debt management strategies are accessible only by working with a qualified Licensed Insolvency Trustee. There is no cost to connect to discuss your situation and evaluate all your options, and no referral is necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, BC residents can get help from a qualified Licensed Insolvency Trustee and request services and support remotely, without needing to leave the comfort and convenience of home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get your plan to be debt-free, connect with a caring, non-judgmental debt help professional from Sands &amp; Associates \u2013 book your free confidential debt consultation today.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"cta-with-bg-image-content  white center no-bg-img\"   style=\" \">\n    <div class=\"gradient gradient-teal\" >\n        <div class=\"content\">\n            <h2>\n                <span>GET A FINANCIAL<\/span>\n                FRESH START            <\/h2>\n            <p>Book your free consultation with one of our experts and start living a debt-free life.<\/p>\n            <a href=\"\/free-debt-consultation\/\" class=\"red-btn\">\n                BOOK YOUR FREE CONSULTATION            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has said that 9 out of 10 Canadians file and pay their income taxes on time \u2013 so while a majority are on track, that still leaves many Canadians carrying tax debt, potentially spelling big costs and high stress levels for consumers struggling to pay.
