Income Tax Owed
Question: In 1990-1992 I lived in Quebec but did not pay my Quebec income tax. I moved away from the province and the debt was never chased up (I did pay the Federal portion)
Will I still owe this money or is there a statute of limitations on provincial income tax debt? I am terrified of what the amount must be with interest owed.
Answer: In general, tax debts do not go away. However, since 15 years have passed, and the government has not attempted to find you for 15 years, it is possible that you don’t owe as much as you remember. The only way to determine if you owe anything will be to contact the Quebec government. Alternatively you could contact a tax accountant in Quebec and ask them to investigate on your behalf.
