What happens to the GST credits and Child Tax Benefit I receive from the government?
Your GST credits will be paid to the Trustee on behalf of your creditors as long as the Trustee has not been discharged. If there is a delay in processing the post bankruptcy return, more GST could be paid to your bankrupt estate. If there is delays in the closing of your estate, any GST cheques payable to you will be paid to the Trustee. If there are no delays, the Trustee will receive GST cheques until he is discharged.. The Child Tax Benefit will continue to be paid to you. It must be included in family income for the purpose of calculating your monthly payment to your Trustee.
