Letting your unpaid taxes get out of control can result in a CRA’s enforcement collection actions. When taxpayers owe large tax to the CRA and the payments have not been made to the CRA’s satisfaction, the CRA typically sends out notice of legal actions. This action could be a CRA imposed bank levy which is completely legal and quite serious.
A bank levy allows the CRA to issue an order for payment against your bank accounts which will force you to pay the CRA prior to having any access to your own funds.
It is the standard course of action for the CRA to use bank levies to collect back taxes. Imposing the bank levy requires only a letter of order from the CRA to the banking institution. Once received, the bank is forced to freeze all funds in the taxpayer bank account(s). Violation of this order could cause serious repercussion for the bank as such the CRA has the power to seize funds that belong to a taxpayer left in any Canadian banking institution.
