Tax Clearances

The Department provides Clearance Certificates, to ensure compliance with the Revenue Administration Act (refer to sections 8(b) and 18(2)). This Act creates a statutory lien in favour of the Provincial Government, without the necessity of registration on any real property owned when a tax debt is due to the Crown.

The legislation is necessary to:

• Ensure tax debts are cleared from often uncooperative taxpayers in an efficient and cost effective manner
• Protects Crowns lien rights and obligations
• Preserves the public interest to fairness and equity tax system

While there is no cost for service, requests must be in writing with all supporting details above. For ease of reference, the Department has provided an application.
