π¨ CRA Can Freeze Your Bank Account β Donβt Ignore Tax Notices π¨π¦
If you have unpaid taxes and ignore CRA collection letters, the Canada Revenue Agency can legally issue a Requirement to Pay to your bank. This allows them to:
β’ Freeze funds in your account
β’ Garnish wages or other income
β’ Apply payments directly toward your tax debt
In many cases, this action happens after multiple notices β but once enforcement starts, access to your funds can be restricted immediately.
The good news? Early action can often prevent escalation. Payment arrangements and proper representation make a difference.
