How to Get Approved for a Debt Consolidation Loan

如何处理加拿大所得税债务 (Income Tax Debt)

报税季节已到。对于那些会得到大额退税的人来说,这是让人兴奋的时刻。但是,对于那些没有退税反而要补税的人来说,却是一件令人惆怅的事情。报税后要面对一大笔所得税债务,同时你又无法付清,光是想一想就已经令人倍感压力。 其中一个让人觉得恐怖的原因是,一旦税务局评定了你所欠的收入所得税的总数,他们将要求你一次还清。加拿大税务局拥有强大的权力追收被欠的收入所得税。加拿大税务局的讨债措施包括发信、电话追讨,甚至实行强制行动譬如扣押工资,下发税收留置权等。 人们拖延或逃避报税的主要原因是害怕税务局评定了欠税后对他们采取的强制行动。但是如果你欠了所得税,拖延或逃避报税却是你对自己所做的最糟糕的事情,因为这是违法的。另外,税务局会在欠税总额上累计利息和罚金,随时随地可能会让你的欠税翻了一倍。 那么当纳税人报税后,发现欠下一笔无法支付的税款,他们能作何选择? 任何问题的解决方法都应该有一个周全的计划安排。首选,你不必独自解决。很多机构都提供解决所得税债务的帮助。向债务或财务顾问了解更多办法也是为你排忧解难的一个选择。 一个好的解决方案会就你的收入、资产、个人债务(除了所得税债务之外,你所欠的银行借款、信用卡债务等)进行全面性的评定,这样你的理财顾问才能制定一套可行性高的还款计划向税务局证明你有足够能力在支持生活开支的同时,又能按时偿还税款。 审视了自己的财政状况后,万一你发现自己根本没有能力向税务局缴还税款,你该如何是好?不能缘木求鱼,却也不能忽略这个问题,因为税务局对你采取的措施将严重扰乱你的生活。 如果你找不到任何办法可以缴纳欠税,你可以从联邦政府项目中得到解脱,它能为你减免利息、罚金、甚至是原定的税款总额。参与其中一个项目也许能让你松一口气,因为这也许会给予你足够的时间慢慢缴还欠税。 其实你不需要惧怕加拿大的所得税债务,因为在这些债务急剧上升之前,你还能寻找到很多可以协助你解决问题的资源和方法。 如果想了解更多资讯,欢迎浏览我们的网站debtcare.ca/Chinese, 或通过电话:1-866-260-9672 电邮:kchen@debtcare.ca。

谁能在债务重组当中维护你的最大权益?

很多加拿大人都处于负债处境,债务重组建议书(consumer proposal)是一个很有价值的解决渠道。它能为你减免可观的债务数目和利息,合并所有债务至一笔你可以轻松支付的月付款,这些无疑都是意义重大的好处。同时你也需要知道,债务重组是一个复杂的法律程序,而且必须由破产师管理和执行,那么紧接的问题就是,谁能担任你的代表顾问? 关于这个问题,人们经常觉得很疑惑。要知道,破产师常常宣传他们的服务是为你解决债务的方案。一旦你参与了他们的服务计划,他们代表你的这个事情看似是一个安全合理的设定。然而这并非完全正确,破产师的确是在债务重组建议书/申请中代表你,但是他们同时也代表你的债主。 在管理债务重组申请的时候,破产师是不能偏倚任何一方的,在向你提出最优解决方案的同时也要确保这是对债主最公平的选择。另外要注意的是,破产师是根据你的债务重组最终还款数目得到一定比例的酬劳的。也就是说,你的债务重组金额越大,他们就赚取更多。在谈到保护你的时候,这就已经产生了一个主要的利益冲突了。 第一次与破产师见面的时候,他们会询问你的个人财务状况。假设初次会面时破产师是代表你的权益,但你的独自前往也可能导致一些不必要披露的信息被问出。这些信息也许会用于帮助债主获得大额债务重组(对于你就是小额减免),破产师也会获得更高额的酬劳。 没有任何代表陪同前往会见破产师就相当于你不带代表律师上庭。大多数情况下,我们都认为这是相当危险的做法,因此我们也是不建议的。同理应用于债务重组上,你应该也希望在考虑申请债务重组时有专业代表人可以提供最恰当的建议,确保你的财产受到保护并无需担心债主的各种追债手段。 这篇博文的主旨并非抨击破产师不值得信赖。大部分破产师都很专业,但是政府的法规要求他们对各方公平,这自然就会造成矛盾和问题。归根究底,我们其实只是想提醒你在会见破产师之前保障好自己。 联系经验丰富和熟悉重组项目的顾问,有需要的时候也可聘请这些专业人士以免除后顾之忧。他们可以作为你的代表和破产师进行交涉谈判,为你争取最好的债务减免计划。 DebtCare Canada和数家信誉良好的破产师公司都有长期稳定的合作关系,我们绝对有信心可以在整个过程中保证你得到最好的服务和最优的方案。 联络破产师之前,拨通我们的电话1-866-260-0397进行免费咨询。
