(company dissolved) My clients were a husband and wife. The CRA wrote to them to propose assessing each of them as director of a company that had gone out of business with unremitted GST. I wrote to the CRA official to explain that the husband had ceased to be a director when the company was dissolved, and more than two years had passed since that time. Thus, he could not be assessed as a director. The CRA agreed, and withdrew its proposal to assess the husband. (I also succeeded with respect to the wife. See "GST — directors' liability (person never agreed to be a director)".) Problem vanished! (2008)
