Self-employed individuals who are bankrupt are required to use these forms in addition to the above form to report their gross business revenues and business expenses to arrive at their net self-employed income. This form can also be used to prepare year-to-date gross revenue and expense information for your trustee to prepare the pre-bankruptcy income tax return.If you are not currently in bankruptcy, this form can be utilized to keep yourself organized when it comes to your business income and expenses.

Life After Insolvency

Congratulations, you’re now debt free!

Your discharge from bankruptcy or full performance of a consumer proposal relieves you from all debts owing at the date that you filed your insolvency, except for payment arrangements already made with your secured creditors, as well as those debts that survive the bankruptcy or proposal process pursuant to Section 178 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act.

For information about student loans, credit reports or ICBC debts, check out our Life After Insolvency information guide.

Other Forms

Request for Communication in Writing Only from a Debt Collector

The Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act (BPCPA) allows you to notify a collection agency to let them know that you wish to communicate with them in writing only. Keep in mind that this only stops the calls, it does not stop any other enforcement rights the collection agency may have to collect the debt and it will not stop a collection agency from commencing legal action should it get to that point. Use the form above if you wish to be communicated to in writing only.
